our new light

20110820-230037.jpg

the title is misleading. this light isn’t new at all. it’s one of the older items in our domicile. it predates our relationship. but it has acquired a new elevated status as the light that is perfect when reflected instead of hideous when used directly. makes me want to set up some still lifes and click click click.

one-way tickets

first the ticket to hawaii. now the ticket to d.c. they both left me with green plants to tend in their absence. i may have to go to therapy for my abandonment issues. i may take the plants with me. i am not expected to return these lovelies but i hope they flourish and that their previous owners may see them again just as healthy as when they were bequeathed to me. i can’t turn away plants. they are good for the soul.

(ses: please forgive me for posting these photos.) despite my earlier crazy rantings, i now have some new “glass” and have been putting it to the test. ses looks kinda funny in the bottom picture, but i also kinda like the irreverence of the image.

beautiful day

Today was perfect in so many ways. We walked to breakfast and ate outside with our puppy dog. We loaded the bikes up and drove to Dockweiler State Beach. We biked to Manhattan Beach and had lunch at Petros. We sat by the ocean and debated the finer points of health care reform and politics. We snacked on fresh fruits and freshly roasted ethiopian sidamo and roti from 99 ranch and vegged in front of the tv after taking a nice hot shower. We had a wide array of sushi and some of the best mackerel EVER. What a perfect day…
