yoonmi and michael bought a farm house in the hudson valley.  and that's where they decided to have their wedding.  they had the summer to set up their north mountain house instagram account to post photos of DIY flooring and fencing and manhattanite relapsing to the outdoors activities...before outsourcing the big wedding items to professional catering services and amazon.com for the rest....it turned out beautiful.  sunny and clear skies during the day.   4 degrees celsius at night.  the bonfire just wasn't enough....

4:49 PM

it seemed that my entire instagram network was visiting a farm today.  pumpkins, apple picking, hay rides, petting zoos, donuts, apple cider....farms are a place parents bring their kids.  we went as adults...

6:21 PM

we went to newark for Portuguese food.  mikey's been talking about it forever.  so we brought dre.  the crab dip was supposed to change my life...but i pretty much didn't like any of it.   but there were two key moments.  1. the bathroom is soundproofed from the rest of restaurant blasting 80s jams.  a timewarp or the twilight zone.  and 2.  "how are you getting there?....oh i can't make it"

some neighborhood egg tarts amidst some parade...

order the kit online.   spit into the cup.   and in a few weeks your test results are available online.  if only the DNA testing was as comprehensive as before the FDA shut it down.  the new results show limited health related disease variances.  nonetheless....im 3.6% korean.  can't make this stuff up.

i don't carry any disease variants....so "even if we break up...i need your DNA to procreate to offset my diseases..."  haahhahaa...

2:54 PM

with my new found sobriety....keeping a car in the city makes more and more sense...hangovers don't get in the way of day time activities...and night time activities aren't hindered by the responsibility of driving....and the convenience offered by covering more distances with the freedom of an automobile adds a wholesome balance to ones life....like our monday afternoon excursion to 하뭉냉면 and a walk through piermont.

6:27 PM

with the last few days of beach days left...we had to make use of that 30 dollar seasonal parking pass....we picked up vodka and caviar...made sandwiches...and spent the day baking in the sun...

hobart beach.  can't go wrong.





oh yea...and we picked up a cold cheese slice on the way home...

6:33 PM

i asked for permission...and off i went to the US OPEN.  i might've been too excited to see Nadal and his butt picking because i got a speeding ticket on my way to the stadium.  lobster salads, beers and tennis....a good time....right until the end....when i wasn't allowed to stay out anymore...




my seats were unreal....
