shnookture

I recognize that picture. The one in the jigsaw puzzle.

You still have the photos - you didn't delete them all.

Taste & Aesthetic

"Less is More."

Gordon Ramsey so instructs many a chef.

I believe this carries over to art as well. Hints of figures or objects, peeping out of the canvas or paper, alluding to the blankness from which it formed. I personally find this to be aesthetically pleasing.

Also in relationships. The less you get, the more you want. Just a taste. To wet your appetite. Just a little nibble. To make you hungry.

You can't have one without the other. As Missie and I discussed over dinner Tuesday night, the inevitable coexistence of love and heartbreak. There has to be a balance, the good and the bad, it is an absolute impossibility to have only one.

Balance.

My glass is full.

Brooklyn II

Dionne Warwick is the shit. The shiznit. The bee's knees.

I can hardly contain my excitement, anxiety, and anticipation for Wednesday. I feel warm again.

bad horror movie
drinks with missie (tonight)

Saw "Shutter" with Alex. Had tremendous fun, despite the incredible predictability, horrible acting, and contrived screenplay. I'm just a sucker for horror movies you can laugh at.

Plans to meet Missie in the slope for dinner, v. excited and happy to see her. Will discuss house. Linda comes wednesday. Crossing my fingers. Thursday we're meeting with the Blacks (or the Bodkins, or whatever name my blood may have). I am incredibly nervous and excited about meeting my family. I hope to gain more insight into my heritage, considering my little to no knowledge in the area.

Brooklyn

I am in Brooklyn, and I did not get that jolt as I have before. Granted I came from Jersey this time, and was exhausted, and rightly peeved about the taxi fare, and the apple tree was gone, and baby it's cold outside. The weekend has been relatively low-key, but this week is about to get busy. Adam, Andreas, Alex, Missie, Steve, Wesley, Linda, the Henry Blacks, Charlie, Lucy, and so on; so many people to see!
