Things that make life worth living 3

Listening to Neutral Milk Hotel "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" on Grado headphones. Listening to any great album on headphones, really.

Amateur Film Critic

Every so often I'll come home to a package outside my door from Matt. They've contained a book, and a skull, but mostly movies. This is great, because while I trust my own taste in books, music, and clothes, I don't really make a hobby of film. So it's wonderful to get a long distance film education. So far I've seen Vivre Sa Vie, Summer Hours, and tonight's movie Wings of Desire. Wings of Desire is my favorite so far- so romantic, so beautiful, such great music. I highly recommend it.

Lovely Saturday- walking around in Miami

I went home to Florida over the weekend. Winter always get to a point this time in February when I feel like on of those children in "Flowers in the Attic"-- so deprived of light and air.

On Saturday, my parents and I hung out in South Beach. Out of all the cities I've lived, I would most love to return to Miami. It's an insanely livable place in what feels, much of the time, like a foreign country.

Oh, how I want a Smeg. Especially a Smeg devoted to storing the Veuve.

My favorite restaurant in Miami

perfect meal

best color combination

Pilgrimage to New World Symphony Frank Gehry building

amazing vintage shop- I've bought some of my favorite things here

It's cold outside...

I didn't have a snow day today, but I came home from work a little early and had a snow evening: my dads chili recipe and a Jean-Luc Godard film that's new to me- Vivre Sa Vie. Nothing says cozy like cheap wine, spicy food, and a good movie.
