Sand on a Summer Day

This guy was making a cool design out of colored sand at Washington Square Park. Pretty neat.

According to my friend, "it's similar to the mandalas tibetan monks create with colored sand. it's a long, tedious process..."

I walked by an hour later and he had filled in curves around all of the circles.

Sucks to imagine at the end of the day that it gets blown away or stepped on!

May Day Fun Days at Brimfield, MA

Holy crap! Indeed... I just had my first antiques show experience in Brimfield, MA. Collectors, dealers, and fashionistas from all over the country (and maybe world) converge in this small town at the break of dawn each day for a week in the hopes of finding "treasure" amongst someone else's trash. If you are dedicated, don't mind digging and sifting, and maybe have a lot of patience, you could find some amazing things... Brimfield is the largest antiques show in the country and they have 3 week long shows every summer. May, July and Sept. The May show is the most popular one to check out, and is assumed to have the most stuff.

If I had a bigger living space, I'd totally rent a U-Haul and buy up a shitload for furniture... the majority of what you'll find there.

I did find some treasures... and observed some trash...

yes.... i did use my Hipstamatic app for my iPhone for some of these photos... ;-)

I know I said "no" to online dating....

... but I just might have to give this a try. I mean, I'm a MAC! I've dated a PC before and he was so opposite me. Practical, mechanical and couldn't think his way out of a box... not a single creative bone in his body. bo-riiiiiing.

a quote from the new Mac user dating site, Cupidtino:

"Cupidtino is a beautiful new dating site created for fans of Apple products by fans of Apple products!" a message on the site says. "Why? Diehard Mac & Apple fans often have a lot in common – personalities, creative professions, a similar sense of style and aesthetics, taste, and of course a love for technology. We believe these are enough reasons for two people to meet and fall in love, and so we created the first Mac-inspired dating site to help you find other Machearts around you."

that's me! creative, sense of style and aesthetics. this is a good idea. do you know how many hot people shop at the Apple Store??!!

maybe i'll meet someone that i love even more than my iPhone?
