Recently.

I went to this show and it made me want to read Shakespeare and Beckett. We drove to Beacon and ate the freshest most delicious meal at Homespun but decided against going to Dia Beacon because it happened to be such a beautiful day to be outside. The meal consisted of a Harvest salad with cranberries, beets, apples and squash, cauliflower soup and mac-n-cheese. We made it to Shopsin's again after a long time where we ate country scrambles and chocolate chip s'mores pancakes. Later in the day we watched Almodovar's new film where every scene was beautifully impeccable and sometimes quietly disturbing.

At school, I've been coding patterns with sound, going around in circles with my Thesis, wondering where the days go and always running to catch up with work. I have also been listening to Little Dragon's Ritual Union and Future Islands' On the Water and reading Pollan's Botany of Desire. I've indulged in good chocolate this week and a beautiful dress that I found on deep sale at the store.

The photos above have nothing to do with any of this though. They are from Maine in July.

Photos above are from a trip to Storm King a little while ago when the leaves had just barely started showing a little color. Then there was sudden snowfall on Saturday. I missed actually being outside for it on account of being sick all weekend. I have been very overwhelmed lately and I need to find ways to get out, seek inspiration, de-stress, look at new work etc. etc. I am looking forward to watching the new Almodovar movie. And I just saw this re-release of Food Rules with the dream combo of Michael Pollan and Maira Kalman (via Kate). Want!

Any suggestions for cool stuff happening around the city that I should check out?
