Marilyn Monroe Wanted to Retire to Brooklyn (via Gothamist)
That’s my favorite place in the world, so far, that I’ve seen. I haven’t travelled much, but I don’t think I’ll find anything to replace Brooklyn.
Monroe in Manhattan, circa 1955
I saw Tilda Swinton give a talk about her upcoming movie Julia at the Apple Store in SoHo last night. I happened to be in there after getting my hair cut and saw that she was going to be giving a talk, so I stayed to listen.
Then I had an impromptu dinner at Kelly & Ping. The Lemongrass Chicken was really good, but on a whim I decided to order a Cucumber sake (é…’) because I LOVE cucumber for some reason… It was super tasty and light. I liked it so much I had to take a (bad) photo of it. Cucumber sake, who knew?
In case you haven’t had enough of fireworks – click on this photo for a terrible home movie shot from the wrong side of an apartment building. This is a blurry photo of the mass of people who were also enjoying the festivities.
As promised, here is video of me riding my bike.
Some may find this compelling. Most will not.
