Also known as:
The Emperor's New Shower Curtains
The Car Wash
And my new favourite - The Cat Flaps.
Today we bid farewell to "The Cat Flaps". During a brief walk through the north end of Central Park this afternoon, it occurred to me that the whole display should be razed using the domino effect. That may not be "art", but it's a fun idea.

Annoyances - Part II
1. Technology - it will be the end of civilisation as we know it. My new scanner/printer/photocopier that was delivered last Friday has had a technician come by to fix it four times this week. And my beloved fax machine now sounds like a machine gun firing each time it prints out a received transmission. This does not augur well for the new motor-driven racecarts, er... I mean shopping carts that have been introduced at the uptown Fairway. They're great fun.
2. It's late in the afternoon but still nowhere near 5pm.
3. I'm the only member of the staff still here. Note to self: send out memo instructing employees to sign the visitors' book next time they actually show up for work.
4. That damned cat.
5. Anything by Sir Andrew Lord-Webber or whatever he's calling himself this week.
6. Cats.
7. Improper use; of the semi-colon.
8. Fractal geometry.
9. Clients who insist on sending email (especially when it quotes their previous ramblings) when a phonecall would suffice.
10. Having too many annoyances to deal with before 5pm.

I'm Back
Dear Reading Public
It seems that my contributions to the wonderful world of bloggery have been missed. After an in-depth study of the impact of my postings, and a roundtable disccussion (regulars will know which round table), I have decided to cave-in to the pressure and visit digitally with y'all once again.
Today, I shall be ranting about what's annoying me most right now.
1. Top of this very long list is the fact that I've caved-in to a huge amount of pressure applied by FARB and Greg.
2. I don't know what kind of cat a 'kitten kaboodle' is. The Cat Lover's Guide to Kittens is of no help!
3. It's still winter.
4. I haven't had a drink all day and it's now 11.23am.
5. The weekend, which starts shortly, gets shorter as the days go on.
There will be more of this later, becuase I'll definitely be more annoyed as the day wears on.

The Emperor's New Shower Curtains
Christo and Jeanne-Claude's "The Curtains" in Central Park is a HUGE amount of orange fabric. I'll leave it at that. Okay, so I can't just leave it there. (Is is true that Jeanne-Claude ran up all the curtains on her Singer? With all that money being spent you would have thought that someone would have had the good sense to slap a bit of orange, oops, sorry er... saffron paint on the tacky frame of the "official" "The Curtains" sign. It's all in the details, darling!
The exhibition's existence is drawing huge crowds and it caused nine of us to leave our natural habitat and actually do something on the weekend during daylight. For that, I'm grateful. Table A from Posh had a pleasant stroll then a mavellous brunch at Dorian's on 79th Street, where the Bloody Marys went down so smoothly. We should do it on a regular basis, only cutting out that whole Central Park thingy. Please close the curtains and let us have our park returned to us in proper condition.
PS If the curtains glowed in the dark they would be something worth seeing!

Dead or Alive?
Those people who feel compelled to write a blog while doing other things (I believe it's called "live blogging") need some serious intervention to help them get back to what is presumably called "dead blogging". Focus on what you're doing, kids, and don't let your attention deficit distract you from the task at hand. By the way, multi-tasking is inefficient and no excuse.
