Palm leaf green and finally, a cow
Last weekend, a laborious three days lugging AV equipment through inches of mud and 50 degree rain in Burlington, Vermont, DD and I visually documented some really lame wedding for a bunch of waspy strangers. In a stunning show of GPCC (Gore-Predicted Climate Change), it’s now 90 degrees. In an effort to ignore our CCSA (Climate Change Shock & Awe) and instead celebrate the tropical feeling, we’re having one of our three rooms in the small but happy new apartment painted as I type, a cool Palm Leaf Green, which looks crappy online but glows like green tea ice cream when smeared on a wall. J’adore!
In between Home Depot and moving boxes, we stopped at Whitman’s Peaceful Meadows dairy farm for some ice cream and cow love. I think of anthrochica this week, in moving solidarity, and also in gratitude for the still photos of Holy Land she let me borrow for the 2-minute promo video I finally half-finished (it’s moderately passable, N., but still reflects the nausea and bad weather integral in its conception) for the Globe’s affiliate website, travelnewengland.com, though there’s no telling they’ll actually use it.
One small step for painting the new bedroom, one miniscule leap in my unpaid freelance video work. Lead thou me on…
