New York Lights and Bar Harbor Nights

I'm back in the Big City! This weekend I took a hiatus from the smog and strangers to venture back into more familiar ground- trees, you say? Clean air? Why yes! And ocean to boot!


Beautiful bricks.

The camp before the famed camera-dashing incident of the weekend. Yes, I did dash my perfectly lovely digital camera on a rock for no reason other than sheer idiocy. Yes, I feel like an idiot about it. Moving on.

Wes and I went to a cute little street fair on 7th Avenue last weekend. Is it just me, or is this "mascot" just the kind of thing that could keep even the most ardent carnivore reaching for a tempeh kabob?


Truly terrifying. I can't decide what scares me more -- his vagabond ill-fitting clothing or the unnatural pinkness of his skin. Or maybe it's those piercing blue eyes....

Just had a delightful dinner with the cuz at Fig and Olive on 52nd between 5th and Madison. The cutest little Mediterranean tasting bar I've ever been to. Oh wait, I've only ever been to one. Either way, it was adorable. Free bread? Check. Three different kinds of olive oil to dip the free bread into? Check check check (+YUM). Lemon sorbet and fresh strawberries for dessert? Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Off to tackle some VMizzle.

I love the snaps - are the bricks at the "little house" or somewhere else?

Am I allowed to say that I miss you here?

Scary pig there.

When I do the word verification I do not seem to be translating the archives of the world...hmmm...

Is there a way that I can be notified when there are updates here?

yo mum

Hiya! Yes, that is a terrifying mascot. Enough to put me off meat for a good 20 hours or so. Good thing I just finished my meaty dinner :-P

Hope you're well! Update more! :-P

re: your mother's question about seeing your updates; depending on your browser (should be there if you use firefox) there is a little orange and white icon in your url bar (where you type the web address) which allows you to get an RSS (really simple syndication) feed for the site. That way, you can just click on the RSS bookmark stored on your web browser and a popup list will show you all the posts on the blog - and if there are any new ones!
