Oh my God, not Coney Island again! 
Yep, it's true. I was invited to join Afterbirth, Anaxarete, their little boy, and FancyD for a trip to Coney Island this Saturday. The weather had been forcast to be crappy, but it was gloriously sunny and warm. I was happy to tag along, especially since they would drive by my house and pick me...

How come you get to use this face and I don't?
and I don't?
dorwayin:
yeah, you get it for sure. Thank you for your thoughts on the matter. I wish we got a chance to talk more in person about shit in general. You appear to be a person I would love to converse with for long periods of time.
I was thinking, I've been doing the old fill-my-journals-with-digital-pictures schlock a lot lately, and I wanted to return to relaying interesting news items from respectable news sources. So here is my very important, engaging, in-depth reportage on current events:
ShellyMC, Dorwayin, FancyD, Afterbirth, Anaxarete, and I (and let's not forget A & A's cutest-little-button-boy Wave!) met up in the East...

that was a coffee hazelnut chocolate marjolaine. It was fucking delicious.
I took the day off from work today to attend some friends' quickie 1 Centre Street wedding. For all of you non-New Yorkers, that means one of those government building/Justice of the Peace weddings where the people getting married usually go back to work afterward. That's how my husband and I got married, almost three years ago. Instead of an American-Irish union, though, this one...

For whatever it's worth, I'll be able to give you a first-hand report about GoCars come late October. Friends of mine are to be married in October and will be honeymooning in San Francisco. Since I wasn't able to attend the wedding, I decided to catch up with them at the tailend of their 7 days in the Bay Area. Yes, yes, I know that that could appear to be horning in on their horny time, but do keep in mind that they've been living together for years now. Thus, they should have their nuptial nookie when they first arrive.
The record was ruined, but it didn't reach the point of melting onto another surface. Years later, I was able to get a tape of the melted record, but it just never really replaced the feeling of loss I'd created with my youthful absent-mindedness.
No spinach pies in a year?
What kind of life is one without spinach pie??

Nice new pic, looks cool. Do they have those lights like that everynight at ground zero, or was it just today?
Nice to meet you BTW ! You are so incredibly cute in person and plus anybody who can pimp wrap like that is cool in my book ;-)

Labor Day 2006 has come and gone. The beach season in New York is officially closed, and the collective mindset has already redirected itself toward thoughts of autumn and battening down the hatches. The weather here had been dark, cool, and rainy for almost three weeks, so all I could ask for was at least one day during this long weekend in which I could...

Ah, but, Corpy, the theoretical Lebanese situation you describe doesn't seem to have an upside. I'm trying to give a tough question here! Yet I suppose that it's fair that you didn't answer my question since I hadn't answered yours. 
Bumbershoot is, apparently, named as such since the end of summer is supposed to herald the return of the rain. In reality, though, sunny weather is still quite common in western Washington in early September and this year's festival was no exception. Aside from haze in the air (which supposedly came from forest fires elsewhere in the area), the weather conditions could scarcely have been more summer-like for this year's festival. HolaGatita even has a few excellent pictures of Debbie Harry and roller derby girls. Ask her to post them and she might just do as such. She likes you.
Sorry that the YouTube wasn't working for you...but, if you commit the entire Young Ones series to memory, it will become a moot point, anyway.
Why is spinach pie soooooo freaking good??

I got my digital camera delivered the other day, and I can't leave it alone. I keep picking at it and picking at it.
Here are some things I shot. All the green things are my babies. I reared them lovingly through the summer. I breastfed them water and nutrients twice daily. I inspected them with a careful, loving eye. And I battled hungry birds...

Yeah, dude, she's like a total rock star now. Well, or at least she likes to think of herself as one. Her band is called The Licks.
fancyd:
Yah, new cameras are always fun. Yeah, I think I might just blow my savings and get a macbook, I am debating between the pro series too, the thought of all that computer power makes me a little giddy ;-)
Picassa is ok, it is tough for me to use though cuz I deal with raw images, which can be fairly large, google didn't design it for that I think, it is more mainstream.....thanks for the info on the other prog. It will be useful when I do get a Mac.
Enjoy your Monday, I have been working with all pics from this weekend and seriously about to kill myself, something about the hum of the computer that really zonks me out.

The weather in New York continues to pique my ire. I don't know if that's actually a cogent expression, but it sounds good to me this morning. And I don't even know if "cogent" is the correct word to use in this context, but I'm bending the ol' language rules a wee bit. It's cold here for Crissake, and we haven't seen the sun in...

I actually have lucid dreams more often than not! It is seriously one of the great joys of my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but to be able to make myself fly, and do other impossible things at will is just freakin' fantastic.
Wow, I sound like a huge dork.

I just watched Happiness, and maybe I'm just really twisted, but I fucking loved that movie! I think it has replaced Mulholland Drive in my book as the all-time most surreal movie (well, I'm sue that's not the gospel truth, but I think you catch my drift). Philip Seymour Hoffman was brilliantly sad. I so wanted to believe he could fuck someone hard enough...

happiness **shudder**, now i guess i'll have to see it too.
i'm glad to see the pic of mary pickford, your super8 movie really does recall that era
i got a macbook - top of the bottom of the line, if you know what i mean. its scrumptous.
sorry to hear you're not feeling well. i want to see you one of these days after work.....

That video is compelling, you know. 
I enjoy the work of Tod Solondz, but, for some reason, I don't remember much of Happiness though I do seem to recall seeing it.
How are you these days, Ho-ster?

So I just got a roll of film developed the other day. On our last flight back from Ireland, we bought a funny little camera that comes in a plastic case, which makes it suitable for taking pictures under water. It was only 10 euro so we thought, what the hay? It came with a roll of film already loaded, but it's not like a...

It's a beautiful day in Brooklyn today, and of course, I'm indoors, taking it easy after being up late last night for a Spielerfrau show. That's one of the bands my husband's in. They played at Crash Mansion, in the Bowery. They didn't go on until midnight, I think, and I was pretty buzzed after drinking while waiting around for the first round of bands...

You wouldn't stink up the joint...unless, of course, you had chili the night before.
afterbirth:
That's all fine, but don't forget the wrath of winter....
And as far as visiting us, you should pick out a cheap flight when you guys can come up and we'll work around it.
Summer's passing us by though.
It's gonna be too cold for the swimmin hole.
At this point I would almost say (but not quite) that you should wait till winter, and go skiing with us.
Or sledding.
Or skating.
But Fall is really nice, too.
Just no swimmin.
And the nice part of Fall ends around Halloween.

see? i knew the hair would be hot. how cute! i need to find a no-hassle shorter style for immediately following the ceremony thingy. it's easier to do short if you have some curl or wave, i think, because it adds its own attitude. mine is stick straight and heavy.
well, i really don't want to leave sg, i just feel silly keeping this when i'm never on it. but it's not like i'm that strapped, and i'm sure i'll have more time soon. better to keep this account then cancel and have to start a new one later...
honeymoon... not exactly. we're going to drive down to my aunt's family's lake house for a couple days immediately after. nothing to do there really in october except veg and read and play pool. but it'll be nice to have some peace and quiet. if we can't hike, we;ll just stay in and watch movies or read or sleep or DO NOTHING. eventually, we might take a longer trip. if he gets a passport and we have enough saved up. why didn't you go anywhere? ever take a trip later?
