MIMOSAS FOR ONE

i was able to escape the heat for awhile and join my family at the coast. 1. filling up the kiddie pool for my nephew zachary. of course it looked so inviting that i joined him. this is an excellent and cheap alternative to the real thing. my roommates in college often joked about getting one for the bottom of our driveway. we so should have done it. 2. calamari from capitola institution, zeldas . i hate zeldas. they are overpriced and have terrible service, but the calamari is super yummy, and since they are right across the street, i just ordered for takeout. 3. the front lawn through a kalidescope. i saw zack's little kalidescope sitting on the table, so i decided to experiment. this is the front lawn. i think they look like cucumber slices. i ordered some 620 format film for my box camera. 2 rolls of color and 2 of black and white. they should come this week, and i can't wait to experiment!

my new baby camera came today...hurray! i can't wait to get some film to shoot with. yosemite was a blast. everything was so beautiful. i shot 3 1/2 rolls, so i can't wait to share those too. ugh. summer is offically underway. the weather report calls for triple digits over the next few days. i hope i can survive :) i hate hot weather. if it's over 80, i'm dying. has anyone but me been watching my fair brady ? they are such a trainwreck, but i really like adrienne for some reason. i do think she could do so much better, though. i really miss grey's anatomy having...serious....withdrawals...god i need to get a hobby. any suggestions?

yeah! we leave tomorrow! i am so excited to be going back to yosemite. it has been about 12 years since i was last there. one of the things i am hoping for the most (besides perfect weather) is that the falls (like the one in the above photo. copyright 1980. by donald joseph purdy.) will be actively flowing. the sound and sight of the rushing water is totally calming and beautiful. by the time i get back, there will be plenty of pictures to share. i just picked up another 4 pack of film last night. i promise though, it won't be 96 pictures of waterfalls. at least no more than 10 ;)

after watching the house of yes last week, and i thought only parker posey could have pulled off a performance like that in a movie like that, and still remain likeable. she's craaazzyy and i looooooove it! i will watch superman returns just for her. she wrote this for esquire magazine: * number 8 made me laugh out loud Ten Things You Don't Know About Women By Parker Posey | Jul 1, 2006 1. Compulsive hair playing equals great, unbridled passion, but not necessarily directed toward you or toward anyone in particular. In my latest book, The Secret Language of Hair, I attempt to bridge the communication gap between hair gesture and meaning. 2. You know those places that only sell smell-good, girlie products? There is a patron saint of these places—perhaps a cult leader—and that's all I can say. 3. When you see a woman chewing gum, she is counting. Next time you see a woman chewing gum, ask her what number she's up to. 4. Personally, I'm not one for lingerie. It would

within a few short days, i will add the kodak duaflex IV to my family of cameras. i bought it off ebay for 99 cents, and i can't wait to get some 620 film and shoot some stuff. first of course, i have to learn how to work the darn thing. i was just so asthetically mesmerized with box cameras after watching a lot like love that i immediately got on ebay to look for one. i hope i can use it, but if not, it'll make for a cool decoration piece. my family and i are going to yosemite this weekend. this will be a fun but bittersweet trip. yosemite is one of my dad's favorite places in the whole world, and i am sad that he is unable to go with us. i still remember going up to yosemite falls on his shoulders and standing under them letting the mist fall on our faces. and the first and only time i went backpacking with him. i never thought we were going to stop walking. my dad can seriously walk forever . i think i'm going to test myself and see how much i can walk on this trip
