one more bad omen and i'm going home, i swear. today has been so strange, starting with brett waking up at 6:30, kissing me goodbye, and leaving. then me falling back asleep for 2 hours, despite properly re-set alarm. then running for half a block while the bus waited (thank you!) and all of the passengers watched (bleh). then, as i approached smithfield & fifth, there were literally about 50 pigeons (a sea of grey, one lone roan bird) clustered on the sidewalk, some perched on the stone window ledge above. more and more kept alighting, mob mentality, &c. i gingerly began to skirt the crowd, but then something (a truck, i think) spooked them and they all took to the sky at the same moment, nearly skimming my head. i emitted a girlish, strangled "ngehhhgh!" noise and quickly dashed into the crosswalk.

wtf?

*update*: i just pulled my yogurt out of my bag to find that it had leaked. arrgh! luckily only a wee bit.

bah.

happily, it is finally supposed to snow tonight.

xo.
