Hot & Muggy Again

For some, this means to church they go!

I vowed to take advantage of the hot weather and wear dresses and shorts until I ran out of clean ones. Only a few more months before going bare-legged is no longer a practical option and we women must don stockings with our dresses (this means annoying periodically checking whether or not they have runs, are falling down our legs and adjusting for "the wedgie factor").

Funny more people noticed the switch in attire than the fact that I lopped a few more inches of hair off my head.

Different Gig, Same Shirt

Ryan Jarman/The Cribs at Siren Fest 2006, Coney Island
(versus RJ/The Cribs at Tribeca Grand)

but still rocking the hipsters (sporting facial hair, headbands and pigtails is so uncool that it's cool, which firmly places that middle guy on the top of the hipster dude food chain).

Siren Fest was extra fun this year because:
1 - it wasn't heinously hot and sunny like past years
2 - we kept hydrated by consuming ridiculously big girly drinks from a two foot long neon cup
3 - we discovered the one public bathroom without an insanely long line

Why it was not so fun:
1 - waking up with an achy back from having stood around all evening.
2 - getting my butt kicked at the gym the next morning

Reality Check

When I was 16, travel writing seemed like the coolest job in the world. Now that I'm older and lazier, not so much (read "A Job with Travel but No Vacation," The New York Times).

Mon Chat Aime Oui Oui

Watched The Work of Michel Gondry with Coco. Forget about The White Stripes, Beck, The Chemical Brothers -- Coco was riveted by his music videos for Oui Oui, especially Ma Maison. Perhaps I will need to get cable tv installed for her viewing pleasure.
