OK, it's getting on that time of year where I start thinking about how I want to spend my summer. Here are some scenes I've been fixated on lately, when the grayness becomes too much even for me (and I like gray):
1. sitting on my balcony with my morning coffee, maybe a book, or in the early evening with a crossword, or...really, just spending as much time on the thing as possible.
2. walking over to a kind of dive-y bar for a nice late afternoon beer (something about my work schedule may have to be changed for this one--or maybe it's on a Friday?)
3. Picnics! With fruit salad, like the one I made for the leaving-Philadelphia picnic, where I went overboard and cut out the watermelon with a star cookie cutter. And records. And lots of salt, like the one Tiff, Cara, and I had 4th of July one year where we were all PMSing and it was all deviled eggs and sour cream and onion chips.
Want to join me? Interested parties should apply at the office. By which I mean the comments field. Or if you're extra-special, you have my email.
I should also mention that, in all of above scenarios, I'm wearing black shorts, kinda knee-length and Bermuda-y, and Chinese cloth mary janes. And maybe for a picnic I've got the 25 cent tube top on.

dork,
make fun of me for wanting shorts then fantasize about them yourself!
well, 1) i rock at crosswords, 2) I can drink whenever, 3) my, unknown, by apparent attraction to you and tube tops is a stronger than I didn't know.
so, i'm in.
-K
Also, lots of lying (lieing? ARGH!) on the floor and listening to Out of Time and/or On Fire, which I've decided is the quintessential Galaxie 500 summer album.
one of my multiple mix cd ideas is a summer night mix...it has to have blue line swinger by yo la tengo, some gbv, especially off of bee thousand, and some neutral milk hotel...
