tip of the tongue taking a trip

summer is almost too good



(**Niel Krug took them there photos)

today we took a trip to the "500 days of summer" park in downtown LA, how appropriate!


super pretty and wonderfully lush. the folliage was nice contrast to the big citay. a place where bums and young professionals alike apparently come to take a breather.. for extended periods of time. we were right in the middle


some oakley ad shit

we grabbed some tacos, burritos, and papusas(sp?) beforehand (of course) and gorged while the bums looked on longingly at our disgusting amounts of food. we purchased pastries as well, all from Grand Central Market. Pretty great place, with pretty great food-eats



any place with sawdust on the floor is bound to be delicious, right? and notice 3/$1 mangoes and cantelope melons! there was a woman decked out in laker gear with dodger flags flying high on her motorized scooter but that picture, by some curse of the devil, won't upload. But we can all close our eyes and visualize

camp beverly hills

jessica also forgot to mention that she takes photos like this of herself in her spare time:

aaaand that she and i go way back, and that she cries when i brush my teeth

and also that she is the one who introduced me to XANADU, the 70's roller disco acid trip of a movie starring olivia newton-john... where would i be without her? also you need to rent this one from your local library and watch it late night and with lots of treats

ok but enough about that. sooo i'm a little late in the game and have been reading the largely overrated yet still somewhat eye-opening memoir "eat, pray love." apparently it has inspired signs such as this in restaurants in india:

anyway, looking for some feedback from all four of our dear and beloved readers. did you read this book? are you sick of hearing about it? will you be seeing the julia roberts movie? i tried to post the trailer on here, but the shots of julia roberts meditating seemed a bit too much to handle before i'd finished my coffee.

ok enough of that. so this month i am starting as a camp counselor at a summer art program. there are 47 (mostly female) high school kids at my disposal, and i am really having a flashback here. they are homesick and catty and excited and lively and always laughing and chatting. i love them all already.

anybody wanna recommend some rad activities for the under-18 crowd? we're taking them for food and museums and concerts but i need as many ideas as possible.

found these photographs and though they had a certain mysteriousness to them

are native american-inspired clothes out?? i feel like they have been absorbed by the hipster crowd but i still rock my moccassins proudly... discuss.

have a lovely day all! lights out by 10:30!!! oh wait jk..
