Taken with my low-res webcam, as my normal digital one is out of battery energy.
chorus (they're very finger-like) habanera (stage left) (it's, well, somewhat clit-like) stage hands & soufflouer (I'm not really sure they correspond well to any anatomical part) baritone: (I don't care to discuss what anatomy it may evoke here, beyond thumbs) (sadly, the bright-red soprano has opted out of the photo session; she has some bite marks as I tried to eat her)
Today I made it to the farmer's market, and there I did indeed find neon yellow jalapenos. I also got a tomatillo for variety, and a couple of others, too. Perhaps I will do more photographs, because the video didn't turn out to my satisfaction, and I think I need a better camera, though perhaps one gets the idea. It's actually my first video ever. This is all I have time to do a la Verdi and throw up on youtube at the moment, though (you have to turn up the volume):
After the farmer's market (bummed that they don't have flowers there any longer) walked around and got coffee and walked around some more because there are always interesting people on broadway. Then took off to meet a pal at the art gallery, but ha, daylight savings time gets me every time and I was in the gallery at actually 1 then, for a good long while. It was good, took a tour, saw some new current installations, but the piece called "Sin" by von Stueck impresses me each time I see it. Have some new affections for some other pieces as well and fun with my pal.
Yesterday there was a tea dance all about hot flashes. I don't quite make the age cutoff for it. So I've decided to compromise with their age criteria and that after my next birthday, which is this month, I can go as long as I eat a jalapeno or two first to induce some hot flashes, of which I am jealous.

Have decided to get the neon yellow jalapenos anyhow, things wouldn't feel complete without 'em. Maybe will try to make a video for some variety. Have missed Herzog and need to see more of his work, so much more to think and write about him.
Okay, I think this is the last big finale in terms of the jalapenos. They're closing the farmer's market soon, and I think I've gotten all the colors except for the light yellow ones. Maybe time for a new fruit or vegetable.
Here I have today's jalapenos. The theme of the day was yellow/orange. I wonder if Stifter would have liked jalapenos; I think he might think them a bit too gaudy, subtle guy that he is, but seems open to all the colors which occur in nature...... And also, a flower.
Continuing with Pamuk's Snow, which I've really gotten into.

At the farmer's market in the rain today, I found a lot of purple things. A couple of purple flowers. Plums (so cold and so sweet). Purple chili peppers. I don't believe I've seen purple chili peppers before, and so decided to photograph them, too. I have found it therapeutic to photograph the things I've found. The market reminds me of a vegetable market I lived near in Berlin and would pass every day. I've missed the city a lot, and have toyed with the idea of returning, but then remember how many people everywhere. At present, getting used to living with cats who came with the cool new roomie is enough action, they're really sweet.
Today I went to the farmer's market, and there I found two chili peppers (which I photographed, below), which cost 25 cents. Some people are really nuts about chili peppers-- they really are fun to look at-- and may even wish to have chili peppers drop into their lap for free. Everything has a price, but I have to say that I found the price of the chili peppers at the farmer's market quite agreeable, and would suggest going there to anyone who lusts after chili peppers of their very own. I have to say that I fantasized about giving everyone in my dept. a chili pepper as a going-away present, but in this day and age, one always worries that such a gesture might be misinterpreted.
