VI

Last Day in PA. Nothing to say. Just watch and enjoy.



California Dreamin'

Day VI

I went for a walk in the woods at my grandparents cabin with my dog, Buster. . While we were walking, a doe ran across our path. She was beautiful and was this wonderful burnt umber color. I couldn't snap a picture though, I just stood in awe with Buster.

Today's song is "Washed Out" by People, a Gainesville band that I'm pretty sure you all should get interested in.

Some Day V

So it is impossible to understand what this picture means, because I couldn't see anything when I took it.

I went to my grandparent's cabin in Clymer, NY and spent the day with the majority of the family. I got to hold my two-month-old cousin, and he is precious. Got my baby time in for the next year or so. It was the hottest it's been all summer, and with all the kids and heat, I was pretty beat (and so were my cranky relatives).

I left to join my friends in North East. There was a heat storm brewing and we decided to go to the beach. The picture above was taken on the walk to the shore. The lightning was similar to that of a strobe light. God was having a rave. Within seconds of getting there, the wind start blowing harder than I've felt since a hurricane. We were pretty certain it wasn't going to rain, but it did. And we got soaked. It was still fun to walk back in the rain though.

Today's song is The Dirty Projectors' "Stillness is the Move". Something about it just screams Apocalyptic weather and babies.

What a Day IV

I went to an Irish Step-Dancing competition today in Buffalo. Pretty ridiculous. Awesome though, completely other-worldly. It was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot about the cultural phenomena. Example being that I like the reel.

Afterward, I RODE THE MAID OF THE MIST!! I wore my poncho as if I were auditioning for a position as a back-up dancer for Animal Collective.

I came home for a family picnic at the Zoo. Too many kids. Too much good food. But I got to feed the Giraffe!

When THAT was over, I went out to an old friend's house warming party with only one person aware that I was even in town. I saw sooo many old friends from.. I don't even remember when anymore. We were just shooting the shit, but it was so comfortable. It was still different though, because everyone has been moving on with their lives, and therefore are buying houses, getting engaged, being young adults. It was just what going home is all about.
Which brings me to today's song. This is the collaboration between Noah Lennox and Bradford Cox.
"What did you want to see; what did you want to be when you grew up?"
