magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

bean is not actually from antarctica. his heart is covered in paisleys.

he makes tiny little pictures and sometimes writes about his life.

What do these things have in common?

I didn't see the girl in the orange dress, "Independent Booksellers of New York" tote bag, and librarian glasses who I bumped into (literally) last Friday morning at the LIC G/7 transfer.

A tour of the NYPL Map Division's holdings in class this morning. Then, for my final project, maps of Mysore, India; Auckland, New Zealand; Alexandria, Egypt; Kydonia, Crete; Ferro, Canary Islands; New York City; Babil, Iraq; and the coast of China. Mostly 19th century.

Can I just say, I love maps.
