It's been perfectly dreary here the last couple of days. Not cold but constantly sort of drizzling. Yesterday we went over to some girls' huuuuge apartment and one of them wasn't feeling well so she was gonna lay in her queen sized bed with her wrinkled comforter and tall double hinged window and watch gone with the wind. Deep down I was a little bit jealous, and so low and behold! On account-a taking a bite of my sick friend's hamburger and having nothing but a sleeve of chips and beer for dinner (while watching riff tracks for Twilight btw, hilarious you should see it!)the other night, today I am not feeling so hot.
I've done nothing but what I want to do which was lay on the couch and watch TV, admittedly I would prefer the watch something in English, it's actually very frustrating 'cause I can't get anything to stream on my computer, not even Spongebob! How am I suppose to keep current with all his antics?!
Anyways fortunately I live in an awesome neighborhood and today's big outing consisted of walking across the roundabout to Zanzibar cafe for some "honey drink" which is hot water lemon and honey and some sort of cake deely (see attached map and picture). Yesterday there was a flee market at Namesti Miru and the surrounding streets. It was so perfectly Portland, like a European equivalent to the farmer's market in the park blocks. It was raining but warm like and there was some folk band, and swing dancers, and brownies, and oatmeal cookies, and this DELICIOUS chicken soup with cilantro in it which made it taste like pho. I got some earrings (also see attached doodle) and then we went shoe shopping. Always searching, ever alert for the perfect pair of boots. Boots found! But out of my price range (see vagabond.com for everything my heart could desire).
I've been wandering by myself a lot lately, one of my favorite wanders brought me to Frank Gehry's "Dancing House" at sunset. So I bought a margarita so that I could go to the roof terrace. It was awesome. Giant ball of mesh to top off your building? Why not?
I also went to an exhibit at the contemporary art museum of Czech architect Jan Kaplicky which was amazing. Being there made me realize how imaginative I used to be and how strongly I want to resurrect that. I'm pretty certain that I'm a lot more passionate about architecture than film, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop pursuing film. It just might mean I'm taking the easy way out...
Anyways enjoy the pictures.
I apologize for the extra long entry this time, but I made it up to you with actual correct capitalization and spelling. You're welcome.
