The Weather's Fine

Keeping to our Wednesday night tradition, Nathan and I make a weekly date with our tv for So You Think You Can Dance at 8pm.  Last night we squeezed a new ice cream place in between dinner and dancing.  I think we'll have to make Theno's Dairy a semi-regular treat.  Boy, oh boy, it was good.  We found some raves about it online and decided to check it out.


 
It's a humble little shop just off the road that sells the dairy's eggs, milk, and ice cream.  But take a look at that view. :)

 

It was just like ice cream should be.
We shared a double, Black Raspberry Swirl and Cherry Vanilla.













What else is going on? hm.  Nathan has started his summer job working the deli at Safeway (I tease him that he'll be "bringing home the bacon," but if he does literally he'll be eating it himself...I love a pun).  He looks so dapper in his dress shirt and tie.  Sorry, no photos--yet.
Here are a few things I'm loving right now:
The Sartorialist: a blog of well captured street fashions. It's like Vice's Hot list, but without the perviness.
The Fallen: photos by Paul Fusco of crowds gathering, June 18, 1968, to look upon the train that carried Robert F. Kennedy's coffin from NYC to DC.  Beautiful.


This French Bulldog puppy. Gosh, I'm in love.
Also, totally awesome Eames rocker.

Sweet little knit eyelet dress from Stewart and Brown.
Stewart and Brown sells organic, sustainable, and fair trade clothing.  And unlike many of the similarly minded clothing businesses out there, the stuff is actually so cute.



I've got more in mind, but I've got to get to bed.  Mom, I got your voicemail--I love you to death, and I'll call you tomorrow (Friday), which is also the day Nathan and I sign the lease on the new apartment.  I'm getting excited.  bonne nuit.

Yay for new ice cream discoveries - that looked delicious!!!

I love the picture of you two... sweet 'do my brother is sporting these days, no? :)

I think you should definitely get some cute little dresses like that! You would look adorable, and even better that they're organic and free trade!!!

Have a great day. :)

Now that Nathan works for Safeway, you have no excuse not to pick up a refreshing can of their generic Dr. Pepper for your caring older brother. ;)

But really, I'm glad you got yourselves a place and are having a nice time! Mmm, ice cream.

tae, i'm glad you mentioned it, because that was actually one thing i looked for on the first trip to the grocery store! however, i believe their brand is Dr. Skipper, which you already have, no? trust me, my eyes are peeled.

I lurve the Sartorialist. If only more people pretended we were the Great Gatsby—imagine what the world could be!
