The Urban Tarot

mallorys_cameraI hate shopping. Ever mindful of the brown cardboard boxes Ichabod & RTT will be shuffling my worldly possessions into in the not-so-distant future, I try not to acquire stuff.
But every once in a while, I see something that I must have.
One such something was this NYC-inspired tarot deck:
And the 72 other cards in the Major & Minor Arcanas.
I don’t even do Tarot anymore.
I just thought the artwork & the associations were very, very good.
I mean, a yellow cab as the Chariot!
That’s inspired!
###
I’d also ordered a bookshelf, which arrived the very same yesterday. Much of my small collection of objets d’art is still in boxes because there is a particular space I want to put this bookshelf in, & I couldn’t find a bookshelf that would fit the space.
This bookshelf doesn’t actually fit the space either, but at a certain point, I decided, Fuck it, you’re never gonna find something with the perfect measurements.
I will make this one work.
It’s just odd that the bookshelf arrived on the day when I found myself thinking for the very first time, This place may not actually work long-term: It’s wayyyyyyy too isolated during the winter.
###
Other than that, it’s even colder today than it was yesterday. At this point, freezing would seem like bikini weather.
I have a shitload of stuff to do.
