What a fun weekend! I don't want to go back to work. Blah. Although if I just kept wandering around aimlessly, I'd probably be broke, as my wandering often involves shopping.
On Friday morning I picked up some more baos (YUM) and got iced coffee at the same Chinese bakery. I would testify in front of a court that they put crack in that coffee. I don't know what it is (probably sugar...) but that coffee is AMAZING. Right up there with Antica Bologna's cappucinos for my Coffee Hall of Fame (oh my god this should totally exist.) Then I did something else that I cannot at all remember. Wow. Maybe it DID really have crack in it...in the afternoon Wes and I went to Prospect Park, just an avenue from our apartment, and read while watching the world's sweetest dog. Evidence:
He looks so regal!And then we took goofy pictures. Why so pensive, Wes?
At night we made pizza and watched a ton of Vmars, including the finale of season 1!! Now I never have to see it again!! (Love it to death, but 4/5 views per episode in a year? TOO MUCH!! Can't wait to dive back into Season 2, though. That I've only seen once.)
On Saturday we went to Coney Island because it was SO HOT. 95 and man, did it feel like it. No pictures 'cause I felt like my camera was going to be stolen...but it was really fun. The water was cold. Not New England cold, but I don't want to dive in quite yet cold. The Cyclone was AMAZING as usual...and way scarier than I expected.
Today I went to the flea market on the Upper West Side that I love, but it was just too hot to really enjoy it. I bought a cute scarf for 2 dollars (!!) and then retreated to the cool subway and sweated my way home (ew, yes, but accurate). We were going to go to this artwalk thing in another part of BK but the subway was closed...guess the power went out! Odd. We read in Barnes & Noble for a good long while and made delicious stirfry.
Lesson of the weekend: Blockbuster sucks. We got a card there yesterday and the new release (Diving Bell & The Butterfly- pretty good but very artsy-fartsy) was 4.45. Indie movie rental place in our neighboorhood? Every movie's 2.25. Glad we found out early...
Why, oh why, did I volunteer to read/write a reader's report (summary/comments/should it be rep'd?) for an Italian book?? Help me God.

You see sweet dogs everywhere! Perhaps you are turning into a dog-loving type girl, hmmm? But that one is mighty cute.
I'm so glad that I didn't know about the Cyclone until it was over. You know that there is a 4 generation tradition of riding that, right? Only it skipped me. Remind me to tell you about how Grandma Sara was furious that such a thing even existed, when she was talked into going on it by Joan. Oh wait, that was the whole story.
That's an awesome story. I CANNOT picture Grandma Sara on the Cyclone- of course she hated it!
Start a blog, Mom! Then I can read yours too!
Hiya! Sounds like a great weekend - it was really warm here too and I'm finally starting to get some color. Oxford was amazing although no rides like Coney Island. Hope you're well and miss you!
