Schmerlreport: 11.10, Zuccotti Park
There is something you can do.
You just need to think hard about what it is and then actually DO it.
Tiptoed amongst the sleeping occupy-ers after dawn this morning.
Schmerlreport: Yes, there is too much that is just plain Wrong going on. Yes, it is worthwhile to resist.

Renegade knitter strikes again
Corner of Clinton & Schermerhorn:
This time with added fuzzies.
Other side, smooth with tassles.

Brooklyn social scene is amazing
Why? Because multi-generational, pan-ethnic, creative-spontaneous happenings are only a serendipitous second away.

Bye [...]
Mediocrity in Chelsea, but love that Norman Foster bathroom
After a week of seeing excruciatingly mediocre work in Chelsea, I decide that: conversation is the only antidote when beautiful experiences can’t be had for love or money,
And: scale is a great comfort.

Sheila Goloborotko looks for 1001 dreams
Her blog is up. Read about how you can find pillowcases printed with dreams, and then, have your own made onto a pillowcase. She’s inspired, in part, by Carl Jung’s phrase, “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
