New York Shitty Day Ender: Caption This
I’ve floated this corker (which hails from Bedford Avenue and North 5 Street) to a few friends. Thus far this submission by Larry A is my fave:
Model Shitties Administration?

This item is too good to resist passing along. Think about it: our furry companions have it pretty darned good. They get free room and board; hell they even have their poop picked up for them. The least they can do is endure 5 -10 minutes of abject humiliation so as to be dressed up in period costume and photographed. Interested parties can submit your entries via email to Eyresses (at) gmail (dot) com. Otherwise, yours truly is going to wait until these ladies showcase Wuthering Heights. Chez Shitty has the entire cast of characters for that one!

*This weekend yours truly learned that she is indeed a cat! It went down something like this.
(I am reading a book— Homage To Catalonia, lest you are wondering— in bed when the Mister comes in)
T.M. (pointing to the various slumbering hairy masses on aforementioned bed):
You’re a good cat, You’re a good cat…
(points at me)
You’re a good cat.
Me: But I don’t shit in the bath tub.
T.M.: Yet.
Perhaps this should be my resolution for 2011?

This afternoon I received some disheartening news which I feel compelled to pass along. Gina Risica, one of the brains behind Red Gate Garden is not longer with us. The details are scant but apparently she has not been feeling well recently and for this reason had been seeking medical attention. She was found by her significant other New Year’s Eve. No cause of death is known at this time.
I did not know Gina well, but I am very grateful for the love she lavished on Red Gate Garden. I am not the only one either. Miss Mousey Brown opines:
…She has been the mother to Red gate for 10 years. It was her baby and it brought her great comfort and beauty in life that was certainly not all sunshine and roses.
She and I got along so well because of our shared leeriness of humanity, and we shared a bond over the little plants.
Beautifully put. May you rest in piece, Gina. You will be missed.
UPDATE, January 3, 2010: You can see some of Gina/Jeanne’s art work (painting was another passion of hers) by clicking here.
