P. Grimm braving the elements.
As long as I’m in Texas for a few hours, I may as well have some tacos.
My older brother is presently in Uganda and urged me to air a grievance against America’s postal system, which has made little effort to revive itself in this advanced age. I had even heard rumors of a potential cut in mail service on Saturdays to save money. Africa offers these letters that provide paper, envelope, and stamp, all in one. And they look awesome, to boot. Things need to be done to stimulate our postal system.
This is CoolHunting’s video on Tom Mylan, the man behind Marlow & Daughters (and a heavy hand in the entire Brooklyn empire [Bonita, Marlow & Sons, Diner]). I’m consistently impressed with everything these people are doing, and it reminds me why I love Brooklyn. Also, Tom blogs very well. If you have a free minute, you should read his post on preparing a boneless turkey for Thanksgiving. Boneless!!
“Look how good I am at sitting.”
I was crossing the Atlantic when things started getting really bad, the fever was hallucinogenic and shaking me like a leaf and I grabbed the sleeve of the Air France steward. “I’m not feeling well, I should see a doctor” I said and the reply came as a brilliant mix of death anxiety and french rudeness: “Uh, yes… Terminal D… go there maybe… when we land”. After that the stewards and stewardesses took long detours. A ring of empty seats formed around me. Peoples eyes were kind but determined, they read “Poor you, I really wish you all the best but if you come near me or my kid I will have to stab you with this plastic fork”. I got up and went to the bathroom where I fainted.
Now I’m in quarantine for ten days. I can see the summer through my window and it’s just perfect. Summer is always best through a window.

I lived with Caroline LeFevre in Paris for 6 weeks several summers ago. We liked to eat dinner in our beds and fancied a mini Cornetto pistachio cone after most meals. She recently launched a portfolio site to bedazzle (nothing can ever just be dazzling anymore) you with her goods.
Brian and I met Matt and Kelly for lunch. He dropped a lot of bad-movie references but we were delighted anyway.
I was fairly enamored with the 356 Speedster reproduction posted on A Continuous Lean last week, in spite of the fact that I don’t drive. Even though it’s a fake, I’m not concerned enough with cars for this to bother me. I imagine it to be the car I’d be driving were it reasonable (and feasible) for me to have a car.
Yesterday while in Cobble Hill, I saw this reproduction of a 356 Carrera, and it was just as nice.

As Hannah suggests, you should see Girls this weekend. I’ll be at the Monster Island Basement show.
