thilly thurthday thtuff

it's amazing how a horse and a golden retriever can add a little perspective to your day.

i was running hurlaciously late this morning, but luck be a lady, i caught a cab and we were flying. the yellow sea never parts in times square, especially on a rainy morning, but today it did. all of a sudden we come to a halt. i look to my left and there's a horse literally galloping down broadway. not trotting. not cantoring. galloping. maybe you had to be there, but i thought it was a pretty ridiculous event.

tonight, on my way home, there was a fat and happy golden retriever being combed on my stoop. he was all paws and sleepy smiles, and parked beside him was a small red radio flyer cart. like, he's so fat that he can't walk, and he's so happy because his bitch carts him around. either way, i'm pretty sure i had an abnormally extreme reaction, because i laughed so hard that i snorted and eight people acted weirded out by me, including the dog, the driver, and my doorman.

the point of this story is - well, there isn't really a point - except to say that even though it was a kind of crappy day, and i really didn't feel very well, and i didn't get enough sleep, and it was a monsoon, my day started and ended with a horse and a dog.

i fucking love this city.
