"A dirty house means a clean conscience. Actually, that doesn’t make any sense."

“A dirty house means a clean conscience. Actually, that doesn’t make any sense.”

- CR’s words of wisdom this morning, as I reflected on our dirty house. A riff on his mom’s sweet saying, “Cold hands, warm heart.”

“The city announced the biggest expansion of its recycling program in 25 years on Wednesday, saying all hard plastics would be accepted. This includes shampoo bottles and clothes hangers as well as countless toys and other household objects.”

- City Expands Recycling Program to Include Hard Plastics (NYT)

Did you know about this?! Even caps can now be recycled!

Here’s the updated list of things that can now be recycled in NYC:

PLASTIC (rigid plastics)

plastic bottles, jugs & jars

rigid plastic caps & lids

rigid plastic food containers (yogurt, deli, hummus, dairy tubs, cookie tray inserts, “clamshell” containers, other plastic take-out containers)

rigid plastic non-food containers

rigid plastic packaging (“blister-pak” and “clamshell” consumer packaging, acetate boxes)

rigid plastic housewares (flower pots, mixing bowls, plastic appliances, etc.)

bulk rigid plastic (crates, buckets, pails, furniture, large toys, large appliances, etc.)

I’ve listened to two Fresh Air segments this month that included clips from the guests previous interviews in the 90’s: David Sedaris and director Noah Baumbach. In both instances, there was talk about how it’s interesting now to think of where they were coming from at that time because they didn’t know all the things that were going to happen to them and how they were about to change.

I like the thought of myself today and how I don’t know all of the great things that are going to happen next. It also reminds me of the articles from the beginning of this year about how we always underestimate how much we will change in the future.

Speaking of being nostalgic about high school in 2001, Josie and the Pussycats was a pretty good movie that gave me red flippy hair inspiration for years.

Here’s to Never Growing Up, Avril Lavigne

I just watched this to keep some awareness of pop music, and am confused by it enough to feel convinced that maybe I am grown-up.

She’s wearing a tie and wifebeater like her first record, and a Radiohead Kid A shirt—is my era of being in high school in 2001 and loving Kid A while secretly liking Sk8ter Boi when it was on TRL something that kids today actually get nostalgic about and want to see in music videos?
Do high school kids actually sing Radiohead at the top of their lungs?
Has Avril Lavigne always sung with Alanis Morissette-style ornamentation?

With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.

Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.

Honestly, this is even better than you think it will be.

Speaking of falling into jazz spirals, I found this on YouTube the other night and it blew my mind. Robert Glasper juxtaposing Herbie Hancock’s Maiden Voyage with Radiohead’s Everything In It’s Right Place.

One of the closing tracks played in my yoga class this morning was a newish recording of In a Sentimental Mood that harkened back to Duke Ellington’s version with John Coltrane.

As a result, I came home and fell into a Duke Ellington spiral, and am now trapped in the Money Jungle. I love Caravan.

““It’s too bad it took David’s death for us to meet.””

- Line from a “Girls” script in the lap of a gal on the Q train this morning that I couldn’t help but read. I immediately felt guilty that I had spoiled something for myself. Luckily I don’t think I know who David is.

If you watch just one life changing video today, make sure it’s this one.

Seconded.

“You get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn’t.”

My life coach sent me this video this morning, then I saw that it was also in my Tumblr dashboard. Definitely worth watching and considering.
