juggling.

grocery hell #3:
it continues. the theme of today was cranberry beans & gummy bears.
scenes from register two. 8.6.2009.

I like food a lot but I like grocery stores less & less. Time to move to a farm?

my gramma, a DnD original

today. gramma: "I have a girlfriend who walks to church every morning at 7am. she thinks it's saving her but I think it's killing her." my gramma & jed should seriously hang out & trade witty phrases.

& there are some ponies cooking breakfast. yup. 

moving day

what I (& jed) ate 8.1.2009. 

(jed is a moving hero.) 

these same mussels & calamari also make an appearance  here. 

yeah, they were that good. 

summer in noho

some images seen from the window of local burger a few weeks ago. 7.17.2009, street drawings. 

main street. 

you're missing part of the sentence (the part that tells me what you're talking about). main street #2. 

two girls crossing at the crosswalk, both wearing headphones. 

some more hilarious shit from jed. oh, there's been so much. "I am going to have to draw some nuts now, just in case." "You don't have enough paper to cover me." oh, jed. 

noho: sometimes you & I have issues, but truly deep down I love you. 

Drinking/Moving/Eating/Drawing

My move last saturday was a good example of how beer makes tedious tasks MUCH better. & of how we at Drinking & Drawing are good people who help their friends move & only call them bitches occasionally throughout a long long day of carrying boxes. 

moving, bleh. & then there was food. mussels in coconut curry & fried calamari with pepper jelly at the northampton brewery, post-move. 

& of course, more beer, two samplers.

sadly jed lost all his body parts in the course of helping me move, & is now incorporeal. hopefully he can still draw though. 

(also, this hereby concludes what I think may be the best sketchbook I've ever done. cheers, DnD.)

One Good Interaction

Grocery hell #2: fancy beer, artisan hot sauce, good cheese, even when you can't afford them. yes, I support these choices. 

see, I told you this series would continue. you have no faith, internet. 

two symbolic meals

first, my first meal cooked in my new apartment, the first new home I've felt really good about in a long time. patty pan squash, vidalia onions, my thai basil, local baby arugula, wild yam buckwheat soba noodles. Simple, but your first meal eaten in a new kitchen is a test. & this kitchen is beautiful. with flowers from ali & katie. 

Second, leftovers at mum's house in brewster after driving here tonight. interesting day, accomplished a lot of practical things (new goal: not hide under the covers when faced with practical tasks) drank pbr with jed in the late afternoon at his house discussing album covers while mark slept in my bed at home, went to whole foods because for some reason I decided I couldn't manage the drive with sushi (sushi/road trip emergency) & realized that rin is my only real friend left in that whole store. weird, cause the store was once my whole life. anyway, cold macaroni, peas, mashed potatoes & roasted veggies at mum's, after a very contemplative drive, considering life & death & love & friendship. 

I really miss my gorgeous new apartment & can't wait to unpack, but it's kind of nice to take the night off from noho.
