Sorry for the lack of posts lately, my computer got some wonky virus and is being worked on.

This week has been:

1. a continual hunt for summer shoes
2. blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries
3. rockaway beach
4. belle & sebastian
5. black hair
6. rich's birthday extravaganza
7. snacks instead of meals
8. gossip magazines
9. cleaning out my wardrobe
10. drinking hot coffee in air conditioned rooms

waiting


This girl is pretty and creepy at the same time, I need to figure out how to pull that off.



Been waiting for people to come fix the stove.
Thanks for giving me the specific time of "between 9 am and 4 pm."

I wish that instead I was sitting at a beachside restaurant with a view like this:



And eating lobster mac and cheese:




the search is over


I have been on the hunt for a summer shoe, but as I am not much of a sandal person, the selection is drastically limited. After all my searching, I think I have come up with what I need:

Kelsi Dagger Zip Sandal (UO)




If only I could afford these right now.
Someone want to buy me an early birthday present?

A smattering of books in my 'to read' pile:

1. The John Fante Reader
2. Brian Greene "The Elegant Universe"
3. Jorge Luis Borges "Everything and Nothing"
4. Ayn Rand "The Fountainhead"
5. George Orwell "Down and Out in Paris and London"
6. Alex Flinn "Beastly"
7. Roberto Bolano "Antwerp"
8. J. M. Coetzee "Elizabeth Costello"
9. Franz Kafka "The Castle"
10. Charles Dickens "The Mystery of Edwin Drood"

I hope this summer turns out to be an endless beach bbq and/or rooftop pizza party.

fantasme francais



Oh, to be sitting at a cafe in Paris, reading Camus or Baudelaire, eating something buttery and drinking an espresso or a glass of red wine, and possibly wearing something like this:


Paris, my love, some day you and I shall meet again. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

mr. burdon







Dear Mr. Burdon,

Your voice makes me weak in the knees. On top of that, you also look quite adorable in those suits. Just wanted to say thanks for being such a fox.

Sincerely,
Lace
