so we joined moleskine “world” – or “myMoleskine” as they call it (if you want to have a look for yourself, dear moleskine-lover – it’s at – you guessed it – moleskine.com)
but we seem to be the only entity with the desire to upload a picture (ironic, non?)
how sweet we look.
not sure what we’re going to do on the site.
but it was fun to join.
yet not Nearly as much fun as it was going-through-our-moleskine-collection (last night – in a tidying fit)
look! the First Set (from April 2003++)
and here are a few random ones from then – until now…
these were all from before-becoming-teamgloria*
but you can definitely see a Theme emerging, right?
such fun.
happy friday, darlings.
this is what the Village looked like this morning en route to an Early Morning Meeting for the Day Job.
some Committee has established a Bulletin Board at the corner of Charlton.
just in case the interweb stops working…..
thank god we can all stay in touch if it does.
such a charmingly sweet addition to the ‘hood.
(and tantalizingly speaks of a New Establishment to be opening soon with a Counter – “perhaps for dining” – the mind swims with anticipation.)
yes, spring Has Sprung!
so much to record.
so many moleskines to fill up with ideas and dreams and potions and portents and deliciousness.
About teamgloria
I used to make my living from writing. And then it all stopped and so I went and did something else, part of which entailed a whole new look from Brooks Brothers (it wasn’t really me, but it was necessary). But a decade later I started to write again (during nights and weekends and frustrated lunch-times and long haul business travel) and one of the things I wrote (or came to me – as I do believe in the whole Muse concept) was a character called Gloria.
Gloria was a trainee angel and sat “up there” waiting for her first assignment. To occupy the hours she should have been studying humans and their foibles, she spent her time enjoying the new celestial movies-on-demand channel and became obsessed by Doris Day. So you can imagine the drama that unfolded when she came to Earth. Quite a shock to the system. But Gloria was determined to see Manhattan through the eyes of a vintage Doris Day movie and something magical started to happen – to me too.
Because I started to do the same thing and life became easier (and then I got Tobias the tumor which changed the trajectory, for now).
There are a lot of glorious people, places & things that help me get through my day – they make my life great – and so I call them “team gloria” (although they don’t usually know that). So I thought I’d start documenting them, and looking out for new people, places & things on a daily basis, and sharing them with you (whomever you are – do say hello. Oh, and tell me who your team gloria is :-)
