Happy Labor Day

As I sit here sipping the last of this bottle of Château du Rouet Côtes de Provence Rosé (farewell summer!)I am faced with the idea that I might have wasted an entire holiday weekend. I did NOTHING. Seriously nothing of merit. (other than drink this bottle of wine which reminds me of a cafe that sits on a busy street corner, facing the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, and daydreaming about Paris is always worthwhile I think...)

Anyway, I did manage to get one item checked off the to-do list: I hung the four vintage costume prints I found at a flea market in Paris two years ago. I love these prints and nothing other than sheer laziness has stopped me from hanging them. You try to get shit done in an Upper East Side Co-op sometime. You can only hang pictures between the hours of 8am and 5pm Monday through Friday; it is impossible to get things hung without hiring someone to come do it for you when you're off busy working. We were let out of work early on Friday so I ran home and grabbed the level, measuring tape, hammer and nails and got busy:

Sorry for the picture quality, I should have scanned these before framing, then I could also work on the translations--there's some seriously archaic French going on there.

This sucks too, but the lighting gets close to what the bedroom actually looks like most times. It's a very dark room and I'm working with that, or at least trying to:

The lampshades are not fuschia by the way, they are red damnit.

Other than the hanging of pictures I also went out Friday night with Chris Burke! (carrying on the MySpace stories, I have "talked" with Chris more on MySpace than I have since we were both in middle school, trying to study for an Algebra test and not making out in Jennifer C's bathroom! I love this boy:

On Saturday Dave and I went to a Yankees game and then a pizza grilling party at Ben and Beth's in Brooklyn. Okay. Maybe the weekend was front loaded with Friday and Saturday activities. Sunday and Monday? Barely left the apartment. It was kinda awesome.
