August Recap





Well, its been a quiet month here on the ibellum blog... and there were good reasons for that. As the summer days began to fade into fall, a kind of frenzy over took me, and I tried to wrap my legs and arms around each day and struggle it to the ground and have my way with it. When such aggressive "living" is going on, there is little time to log on to a computer and comment about it. So, in the interests of world history, I've decided to recap a few highlights from the last month, in no particular order:

-Tapes&Tapes and the Black Keys in McCarren Pool Park
-Jessica's Birthday in Little Italy
-My Credit Card information was stolen for the first time
-Bob Dylan in Prospect Park
-Got an iPhone (and started to Loopt my life, rather than Blog it)
-Jessica's Softball team finished Second in the League this year
-Became even more obsessed with biking, and I'm about to ride to work for the second time this morning
-"Vicky Cristina Barcelona" was a masterpiece of a film... welcome back Woody!
-Teresa's, in Brooklyn Heights, was discovered to have cheap drinks and delicious pierogies
-Biked to the Astoria Beer Garden with Will, and discovered Miss Favela
-Watched them filming a scene of "Gossip Girl" at Columbia
-Finally started hanging out with our cool neighbors upstairs in 4C
-Welcomed Snezan to the neighborhood, and the hood is already better for it

Well... that's good enough, and I'm out of time. Peace in the Middle East.

The only funny thing about identity theft is that it contains a veiled reference to my favorite part of the female anatomy. Other than that, it totally sucks.

Biking. Yes. Biking.

iPhone? Really? I thought you above this wave of rampant consumerism.

I am so far above it, that when I indulge in it, it is either ironic or for purpose of further cultural study.

I'm boycotting irony.

Oops, I spoke too soon. This just in:

Running Out of Time
Dave Freeman, co-author of adventure travel book "100 Things to Do Before You Die" has died at age 47 after an accidental fall at his home, a rather mundane end given the activities he advocated.

RB -- Thanks for all of your comments on our blog...I felt bad that I never had a chance to respond to any of them, so just wanted to say thanks and we enjoyed them. =) Also enjoyed your August Recap. ~Vojo
