jumbled

the shuffle got it right today: 

grizzly bear on a neck, on a spit, interpol stella was a diver and she was always down, lcd soundsystem new york, i love you but you're bringing me down, john lennon mind games, the books take time, radiohead there there (the boney king of nowhere), simon and garfunkel the sound of silence

photos via backyard bill, and misc. blogs i can't recall. 

wishin i could just read and write and take photos all day.

if only it were that obvious

if there is one thing that you take away from this post, it won't be the fact that i got my bike shipped out to brooklyn (and therefore my life is even more dreamy), that the williamsburg waterfront at sunset may be one of the best spots this side of the east river- especially when basking in the sweet melodies of grizzly bear, that olea's sangria in fort greene is the best i've had outside of spain, that going to a free dan deacon concert in red hook is the closest you can get to joining a cult, that rooftop dinner parties in the warm summer night are the perfect way to spend an evening, or that picklebacks generally lead to picking noses, but you will be mindful of the simple lessons in body language, as explained by a second hand book:

"the sexual signals are clear as they lean towards each other. his legs are wide apart, exposing his genital area. her back is arched and her bottom is pushed out - it is a perfect example of primate sexual posturing"

they're gonna eat me alive

the countdown has commenced. grizzly bear two weeks

(one day i swear i will learn how to put music and videos on this damn blog. but for now, hype machine will have to suffice)

shed your love

orcutt road, edna valley

my time on the central coast has run its course. although i have yet to grow completely restless of it's charm and loveliness, it is time to move along and to, ahem, expose myself to somewhere new. to stroll down new streets, perch on new porches, inhabit new coffee shops and bars, and lounge in new parks. san luis (and surrounding towns) i bid you adieu, and give you baci. grazie mille for the memories.
