Alleys

New ways to get to the same places.

I’ve definitely decided I will be fixing as much of my computers as I can, but I’m also going offline in some ways—revisiting my love of pen and paper as a way to keep writing, so I’ll have to find and unpack my notes. It’ll be good to have my little books of crazy (as I call my frantically jotted collection of random thoughts) back.

I’m exploring the alleys around where I live. Yesterday’s surprise find was what I thought was this elegantly placed bathtub catching the intense afternoon shadows pictured above. Enjoy! I know I did.

Seriously. I think stuff like bathtubs sitting sideways in the back alley of a well‐to‐do neighbourhood of the city is great. How did it get like this? And why hasn’t it been stolen for scrap metal yet? But wait—what’s that just out of frame on the bottom right? An electric mixer. Delightful.

There was more in my head for this post, but I traded the time tonight for making a big dinner for myself using leftover food from work and my little yet quite delux hotel fridge in my room—and toaster oven Jamaican patties from the convenience story. They are fantastic at midnight and even better at 2AM.

So instead of more words, here’s a neat picture of me blowing out the light sensor in my phone’s camera for the sake of art.
