Where I spent my 4th of July.

I love Wednesdays. Farmer’s Market downstairs: grilled veggie quesadilla (I know, but: it’s yum) and a blackberry ice cream bar.

Passion Pit - Sleepyhead (via h): swoon.

Midori & Berliner Philharmoniker Bruch & Mendelssohn Violin Concertos (via kusc): gorgeous

Addendum!

Jakub, over @ Scott Hansen’s ISO50 blog, is always spot-on. No less so with today’s entry which includes “David” from The Radio Dept. Love.

Liza Pro

The lesson here, kids, is that underware pretty much always gets it right. (Their Bello is a longtime fave.)

Saturday, dinner. (there was more, but I was too busy eating it! (: )

Friday. Working from home. Lunch.

Soccer City Stadium, interior.

It’s an interesting building to be sure, but this is a pretty sweet photo. Who wants to take bets on how long until a post-apocalyptic movie is filmed here?

I distilled my book collection down when I moved. The introduction of the Kindle along with the established presence of the library has begun to regrow that collection. I haven’t bothered trying to figure out the rules for downloads (Percy Jackson & The Olympians [so. fun.]), borrowing (Cormac McCarthy), and purchasing (Joseph Campbell, David Foster Wallace), but I am thoroughly enjoying navigating all avenues.

More input!
