The US Secret Service now has a Twitter feed, so ayalesca and I preemptively wrote one for the CIA:

A good chunk of the afternoon went to sorting through job listings to collect potential leads; with the websites plus my e-mail feeds, I've got thirty-one in my current batch. I think it's a positive sign my major feeling is resignation, since I was thinking about hitting up a museum tomorrow to get out of the Y for a bit in the afternoon, and I won't have the time if I want to knock off at least eight, and possibly as many as twelve if I hit a decent stride. The National Museum of the American Indian and the Museum of Sex both sound worth a few hours each, but I don't think I can spare the time for the proper attention plus the commute. Then again, the Guggenheim is six blocks from here, and I can get in free.

The other good chunk of the afternoon - the better one - had me in Central Park, past the Reservoir and Turtle Pond to explore the Ramble for a while. It's really the city's backyard in there, and it's not wild but it's definitely feral. I wasn't expecting to be surprised at streams and ponds, but I was, and I think that says a lot about how fast people can adjust to their present circumstances. I didn't see anything more exotic than what was likely a black-crowned night heron and red-winged blackbird, unless ballet dancers practicing their leaps and spins counts as something new and different. And the blackbird mostly counted for nostalgia value.

It's nearly too late to be contemplating tuna salad, but after the walk I hit the gym for some upper-body work anyway, and some extra fuel wouldn't go amiss. Maybe just some toast.

*snerk*

You should make that a real Twitter account. I bet you could have lots of fun posting tweets that are only *partially* redacted every time something major happens. *g*

I barely have the attention span for my own Twitter feed; I don't think I could keep up with another one even as a joke. It's a nice idea, though - hopefully the idea will seed and grow, even if it's not with us.

The good chunk sounds good :DDDDD

And may I recommend sliced avocado on toast?

<3 the feed :DDDDD but you knew that!

There were bagpipes heard from over the hills! I was near the edge of the Ramble when I heard them, and they're such a distinctive sound there's no mistaking them if you know what they are, so I set off in the direction it was coming from. One hill, then another, and two qualifies for the plural. I showed up just as the busker was finishing up his working day, and it was still lovely - bagpipes over the hills. New York City is pretty wonderful sometimes.

What I should do is invest in more instant miso soup packets. I was craving something savory, and those would hit the spot. I'll see about getting some today.

LOL at the entire twitter feed.

Then my work here is done.
