no witnesses

Love summer nights filled with long talks into the night, the city's skyline and the sound of waves around me..

immortals whom we dance with

Leftover from the Seacliff set. Much love for magically winding, wrapping vines.

And now, abrupt segue to a quote that has been lingering on my mind:

"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours." - C. S. Lewis

Celebrated an old friend's birthday Saturday night with lots of hors d'oeuvres, mixed drinks, and an endless Michael Jackson playlist. Ah yes, and the panna cotta-making obsession continues. Happy happy birthday, dear Laura. :)

oh, it's so amazing here

Spent a good part of Saturday exploring Seacliff on a whim and got my fill of surf, sand and nature. 

took ya long enough

Should I be concerned at all that I wake up thirsting for beer nowadays? I feel like the 'rents are two seconds away from marching me to AA.

we maraud for ears

Late night hoodrat stuff is always worth the hours of missed sleep.

then we wouldn't have to wait so long

This post is two-fold in the way that it summarizes my day but also serves a delicious side of irony, which I'll keep to myself. After brunch at Alice's Teacup, checked out the Sotheby's Polaroid exhibit for a generous dosage of William Wegman. He and David Levinthal were my favorites.

Nickerson Beach adventures with Magic Hat beer & Superfutures; a lazy afternoon enjoying an outdoor concert and the cool breeze; muscats in the Lees' backyard.

Amazingly perfect peaks in my Fage this morning; Manhattanhenge; late night catching up at Martha's Country Bakery. Hello, weekend.

gimme dat glucose

We were treated to some sweets from Dylan's Candy Bar today. The marbled gummi bears were eye-catching but not as tasty as one would hope... Definitely ended up incorporating ten gummi frogs as part of my lunch. MMM, nom nom nom... *cue TMJ*
