New in the shop! I re-painted the wall because I decided that the light colored wall wasn't working. It's just a slightly lighter shade of grey than it was before, I'm happy to have it back.

My friend Joya and her friend Kathryn (same spelling as me!) are throwing this super cool dinner party in Brooklyn on July 14th. The information is below, the contact info to rsvp is below as well. I love good food so I am very excited about this:



IT'S ALREADY SUMMER ALREADY!
 
THE WILDEST supper club was founded by Joya Carlton & Kathryn Moïse on a lazy beach day in June. While gazing at the ocean, they wondered, "Is it possible to feed people clean, healthy food without these people running out to the nearest pizza stand/white castle/pork belly mac 'n cheese joint after? And, can these people forget about the blazing hot subway platform, kick back and let us show them some genuine hospitality?"  (They answered, yes.)

Scrap those restaurant reservations along with that New Yorker you'll never get to, grab a glass of wine, and plan to join us monthly for a celebration of THE WILDEST in seasonal cooking (and eating and drinking and laughing...)


For our inaugural dinner we'll be whipping up a huge vegan feast and dining al fresco on the patio.
 
$45 gets you: A cocktail!  Hors D'ouevres!  Dinner!  Dessert!
**Bring the bottle of wine of your choice for dinner.  We'll have the glasses.

Only 20 seats available! Hurry up and RSVP; we will send you all the ticketing details and the menu!
 
SATURDAY, JULY 14th
7PM
82 MASPETH AVE #1
BROOKLYN 11211
 
Can't wait to see you and feed you!
 
Love, Joya & Kathryn

So I decided to paint the wall where I take my photos, I wanted to get brighter images so I painted the wall a light light grey, instead it had the opposite effect and all the pictures I took today are dull and dark! I just consulted my friend Michael and he explained how I can manually adjust the exposure and everything, I am going to experiment tomorrow. I normally use daylight with no flash, the camera is just set to automatic, easy easy. The photo below is an example of what I got today, you cant even tell that my lipstick is bright red - orange. Painting the wall was such an drag it was so totally frustrating to take these bad pictures today. The whole time I was painting I listened to like 10 episodes of Radiolab, have you ever heard that show? It's like a science version of This American Life


In other news this past week has been super rough. First I got bit by a deer tick for the second summer in a row, I was near tears as I watched the bullseye rash appear on my leg. Then that tv show "Girls" was filming in my neighborhood, they had most of the streets around my apartment blocked off with trailers so there was nowhere to park. I had groceries and vintage clothing in the car, lots of heavy bags so after driving around and around I finally found a spot sort of close which I thought was ok, the tail end of my car was slightly touching a crosswalk but it's a dumb crosswalk that no one ever uses so I thought it would be fine. I just wanted to get everything in my house, change, chop up some watermelon and then head over to my friend's house for dinner, super quick. So I leave and go out to where the car was and its gone! I panicked, I called 311 which was pointless because they never know anything, they connected me with the police department where the phone rang and rang forever with no one to answer it. One of the film set guys told me that I should contact the Brooklyn Navy Yard because his car had recently been towed and I guess thats where they all go. I winced when he told me that it had cost him $245 to get his car back. So I ran home and got the number online and called them but they were closing soon so then I had to wait for a stupid bus that almost never comes, nervous the whole while that I wouldn't make it in time. I get there and they wanted my insurance card but I could only find my old one and not my current one so it was a tense situation. On top of that my phone started to die and that made everything worse. I got my brother on the phone in Connecticut and he ran over to my mom's house and luckily found the envelope with my new insurance info on it, he emailed it to them and they finally gave me back my car. One of the lessons I learned was to be more organized and to have the proper things in my glove compartment. The saddest part though was how they not only towed my car which cost $185, they ticketed it as well for touching the crosswalk and that was $115. $300 just out the window for nothing. I'm always careful about parking, I just misjudged the space that day. It was a very painful expensive lesson. That night ended well though, my friends waited to have dinner until I got there and that was sweet. They sent me home with a bag of vegan chocolate chip cookies which comforted me for days.
