The salt air margarita. My first experience with molecular gastronomy. http://twitpic.com/8qgdf
Tapas at The Bazaar in West Hollywood. Any foodies out there who know what salt air is? Should I get it on my margarita?
One of the many arbitrary incongruities of the Venezia household. http://twitpic.com/8pogr
Despite the gloom, my face is freckle city after just a couple hours at the beach.
Loving @colsonwhitehead’s Sag Harbor. Wish I made it to a reading when his tour was happening.
Gloomy beach day: http://twitpic.com/8p0lw
At the beach on a very dreary day. Where did the sun go?
Wish I could dance to some Michael Jackson music tonight.
I don’t know if The Corrections was a good choice to read on a trip visiting my family.

Just stumbled upon an excerpt of Blame by Michelle Huneven in LA Weekly. Greetings from LA @FSGBooks.
Happy to know that the dudes at Java Man in Hermosa still remember me. Drinking my favorite iced tea.
Have arrived at JFK. Looking forward to spending some time in LA. It’s been almost a year since I was home… hard to believe.
You know you’re on your way to LA when the woman sitting across the aisle from you has a glaring nose job.
Watching Father of the Bride with Mom. Such a good movie. Steve Martin is a favorite.
Feeling stressed about the prospect of going out of town tomorrow.
Cloud Atlas fully lived up to expectations. Still thinking about the way it ended. Beautifully written.
This week, too busy. Halleluhia it is over. Hello, bed, so happy to see you.
Can anyone recommend an affordable bike shop in Brooklyn?

They’re artificially inseminating Rosie the cow. :( Her bleating does not sound of the happy kind.
I think someone is impersonating me on facebook. Feeling a little disturbed and have the inclination to “friend” said person.
On a happier note, there are swans floating around on the pond!
On board the Peter Pan bus, bound for Southbury, CT, and reading David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas for the first time.
Will it ever stop raining?
I can’t decide what to read now that I’ve finished Anna Karenina! Suggestions? What have you read recently that knocked your socks off?
$2.25 for a cup of coffee is wrong. I don’t want the Ethiopia, I don’t want the Brazil. I just want coffee!!!
Where I will be eating for the next 10 yrs RT @TheUndomestic Places in NY that give free food w/drinks: http://bit.ly/qAVox
RT @FSG_Books Listen to the first of Michael Sandel’s Reith Lectures: Markets and Morals http://bit.ly/NjZ8O #Reith2009
Will be headed to the farm this weekend w/ mother, for some time poolside and some bonding with Rosie the cow. Also, laundry sans laudromat.
Thoroughly enjoyed Michael Dickman’s The End of the West. The title poem is my favorite.
Despite all the fake moonlight / His hand flat against the flat of her back / so she has to move / where he wants her to move-M. Dickman
I’m not allowed to buy anything other than food for the next 10 years.

Had a blast at softball practice in Prospect Park. Now, a bit sunburned, but falling asleep on the grass afterward was well worth it.

Thinking I will head to Gagosian for “Mosqueteros” after I leave work on this rainy summer Friday.
Just saw Up with Kalah. Most adorable movie ever. Now at Revival drinking some beers.
I grossly underestimated how tragic (and fascinating) Anna Karenina is. Staggering study of human feelings and relationships.
Was just called ‘white chocolate’ on my walk home. I think that means that I’ve been accepted in my new neighborhood.
Itching to listen to the new Grizzly Bear.
