Beach Weekend in May

March Revisited: Lion to Lamb

It doesn't actually feel lamblike here today—still gray and chilly-rainy—but here's hoping.

Look what I spotted!

What are these, anyway?

On my way to work

One morning last week, I was inspired to try to photo-document my whole day and do a (fascinating!) "day in the life" entry. The cubicled reality of my daily existence kind of killed the inspiration, but here are some things I saw while it lasted!

February was full of days

February 11: For VDAY, I went and heard Eve Ensler and Dr. Denis Mukwege speak about the crisis facing women and girls in the Democratic Republic of Congo.


February 12: Hannah made cupcakes for Darwin Day.


February 14: I had a Valentine's date with not one but eight of New Jersey's finest bachelors.


February 15 (bonus) (unofficial): Unlimited Sushi Day.

Sunny Saturday

Drink = Limonmenta, frozen mint lemonade. Divino.
Book= Middlesex by Jeffery Eugenides

Quiet Sunday

Ditmars Blvd, a few blocks from my apartment.



Astoria Bagel Shop & Deli.

Anne, remember when we had bagels before you left, and you schooled me in true New York bagel consumption? I think I've finally committed to memory Lesson #1: You look like an amateur if you ask for it toasted. The bagel should be fresh enough that it's still hot.

Rosario

A couple of weeks ago I spent the weekend in a small city called Rosario, with Elise and her friends Nick and Min Jee, who were in town from New York. We had planned to spend the weekend relaxing on one of the beaches along the Río Paraná, but the weather had other plans.



On Sunday the sun came out. Below, proof we made it to the beach, albeit briefly.

Nerd alert!

Hannah and I went on a scavenger hunt at the Museum of Natural History.

juicy

I moved in to my fully furnished apartment to find the kitchen lacking in some essential items (i.e. pot lids.) However, I have a juicer! Fresh squeezed OJ is a good way to start the day.

End of the beginning

I still can't quite believe everything that happened in Washington, DC during the weekend of President Obama's inauguration. During an interfaith "MLK Shabbat" on Friday, Jan 16, the speaker told a weepy, cheering crowd to celebrate this victory all weekend, yes, but to think of this "not as the beginning of the end of all our hard work, but rather, the end of the beginning."

My camera broke on Sunday night, after my best friend's wedding (l) and the concert on the Mall (r), but before (among other things) a Ludacris/Nelly concert, the actual swearing in, and the balls. I managed to collect the images I do have into a couple of albums: one for the wedding, and one documenting the rest of the hullabaloo.
