fireflies

Saw the first fireflies of summer last night in my backyard. I'm sure you all understand, having a backyard is exceedingly rare in New York. Mine is quite small. My building neighbor and now friend Claudia has been exceedingly kind in making it even better. She claims not to be so good, but she has a green thumb like the Incredible Hulk has one. She had the makings of an entire salad yesterday from there.

But anyways, fireflies. Green phosphorence at dusk has to be one of the most beautiful things in the world, and it's little things like that which keep me in love with New York. I mean it's this colossal frustrating fuckup of a city, with beautiful fireflies.

Here's something to check out this weekend in NY:

Kozyndan who a lot of you know from having done all the Postal Service singles and EP artwork are showing at Giant Robot. One of the best things about GR art shows is that there are always affordable pieces if you get there early enough.

Other things I'm up to this summer...

I'm writing a novel.
I'm giving my thumbs RSI with the blackberry. Mostly it's 200 messages a day to my friend Anne Ishii. She is the single funniest person I've ever known.
I'm missing my new friends, or at least wishing i could see them more Saelee and Souther who are guest blogging at GR this month.
Drinking.
Finishing up the Decemberists DVD. It's really happening.
Heading to Comic Con.

I stayed up til 7am the other morning writing a treatment to deadline. I actually liked this one. Fingers crossed.
