Bits Of My Weekend
As always, you can click on the photos to read (possibly) more info about them on flickr!
It probably looks like all I did this weekend was eat and watch the sunset. Well, there was a lot of that, for sure, we’ve recently discovered that taking a picnic (by picnic I mean takeout) to Gantry Plaza Park and watching the sunset is just about as good as it gets, the absolute best (only? heh) part about living in Long Island City. But besides that, lots of important business was also taken care of that I let my camera take a break on. Like tracking down rare science fiction novels and cardamom iced coffee. Gathering lots of supplies (including a dozen bar/long-shaped donuts, which cannot be found at 3pm, apparently) for a video piece Billy is working on. Maneuvering the insane subway construction changes. Finally finishing my library book (can’t decide how I feel about it yet). And of course, all of Sunday was devoted to shop update preparing, except for a break to SOB MY HEAD OFF at the FNL season finale. I didn’t even get out of my “studio outfit” (really just pajamas) all day long. Luckily my assistant Wendy was right there by my side for any problems that arose, as you can see above. I like a good taking care of business weekend.

Your sink is exactly what my sink looks like RIGHT NOW….aloe and cacti…too funny, I’m tempted to go take a picture just to show you…

Absolutely gorgeous photos. Finding some place to routinely go is almost more satisfying than discovering it new. That feeling of returning and claiming it as your own… that’s my favourite.

I have been searching for a show to watch since I finished The Wire — maybe I will give Friday Night Lights a try!

I just really, really love your hair.
We kind of have some crazy weird similarities. Like our ties to Great Falls and I lived in LIC. Also, we have basically the same swimmingsuit and I like sandwiches. If only I had your coolness factor. Does this sound stalkerish of me right now?

Lovely pictures as usual, you always make such good use of your weekends. Her Fearful Symmetry was certainly not one of my favorite books. I really wanted to love it from the start, it opened so strongly. However, I felt like the ending was such a let down. Could be that I just didn’t like the lack of justice, but I felt like it was wrapped up too quickly. Also, I really have to start watching FNL, I need to know who this Tom Riggins guy is.

Ohh I totally agree, Erica! I know it was a ghost story, and her last story was about TIME TRAVEL, but the whole ghost taking over another body thing was like, huh? The twin wanting to die was so ridiculous too. That’s your only solution? Definitely wrapped up too quickly.
And YES! You need to watch FNL. Personally I find it the perfect show to watch when my boyfriend is gone because he would seriously roll his eyes so hard at the draaama. But some boys enjoy that, plus there is football and all.

I didn’t love the ending either. The story sucked me in but I hated the last 1/4th a lot. Sorta felt the same about Time Traveler’s Wife as well.

Gantry Plaza was my favorite favorite place in all of New York. There truly is no other view of the like it and the fact that you are that close to the hustle and bustle of Manhattan but can enjoy it from the quite of there is amazing. I lived not too far from there before I made the jump across the pond to London. It really makes me miss NYC!
