I left my home and my fond dwelling, my young man, for the sake of you
I have returned to the land of the online. It took longer to set up internet access in my current location than initially predicted. I am here only for the rest of the month, but the cats are with me and the building reminds me positively of New Haven and New York City, so I am trying to enjoy it without getting too attached.
I am pleased to be able to report that my poems "About Building" and "At the Meyerhold Theatre" have been accepted by Through the Gate. The first was loosely inspired by William Wyler's The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) and my grandparents' wartime histories; the second comes straight from my favorite photograph of Shostakovich. This is the sort of news that makes checking e-mail worthwhile.
Today is my brother's birthday observed. I have bought him some chocolate mice and elephants from Burdick's to decorate his cake with. They will live in strawberry shortcake harmony until the candles are blown out.

Thank you!
It is wonderful to be around my cats full-time again. I brought them back a balloon from my brother's birthday. They have been happily smacking it around all evening.

All parties were consumed by the apex predator invasion of birthday-celebrating humans.

In cake world, the elephants aren't afraid of the mice...

I cannot watch movies through it, which puts a hiatus on TCM for the foreseeable future, but I can answer my e-mail and work my job, and that's really what I needed right now. Also post about movies, as I hope to do later tonight.

They should have been afraid of my niece!

Thank you! It is a brief move, but I am hoping for the next one to be more permanent.
