the xx + jessie ware

best video birthday presie: the xx covering modjo's "lady" which was the jam when i lived in copenhagen over 10 years ago. then the extra special cameo with jessie ware mashing in stardust's "music sounds better with you" = amazeballs! here's the xx take on the collab.

happy birthday thomas!

thomas and i discovered years ago that our birthdays resided on the cusp of taurus and gemini, so a few days ago i left him a birthday note in his locker at kula. in return he left me this sweet reply:

it was amelie-esque in it's simplicity and a reminder that the littlest things can brighten someone's day. happy birthday thomas!

see you soon, night beds

just got my tix for their glasslands show. have you? not convinced by the performance above.  more here.

i am the loneliest person in this subway car

"The train came, and Jules Jacobson stepped on and that: I am the loneliest person in this subway car. Everything here looked ugly: the aqua subway seats; the ads for Goya products, as if a faded color illustration of now-grey guavas in gray syrup could make you want to eat them; the metal rails that had been grasped by thousands of hands that very day; the stations as they flowed past the window. I am having a crisis, she thought, I suddenly feel a new, fragile sense of myself in the world, and it is unbearable."

- Meg Wolitzer, The Interestings

tied!

head in the clouds

happy mom's day! in honor of another mom - mother earth, i "helped" with the build of a cloud-shaped pavilion that will be a signature piece at figment this summer on governors island. they still need a ton of volunteers for the remainder of the build. sign-up for fun here.

first visit to the navy yards

happy mother's day

yep that's a spurs jersey. worked side by side with
patricia until we parted ways to watch the game separately.

why do we blog?

i ask this of myself a lot and jenna park of sweet fine day really puts it beautifully in her post. i'm not promoting a business but i do use it as a "creative" release. it's also a nice snapshot to remind myself of what i've done. i'm often referring back to posts for travel recommendations or exhibits i've viewed. i'm not so sure how much of a community i've garnered since i don't get many comments though my friends say "i read it on your blog." that brings a smile to my face. i don't really write a lot. i think i've grown lazy and posting a pic or song seems to say a lot, no?

on repeat
