i went to a free philharmonic concert in central park tonight, and it was quite the cultural experience. i went with two girls from my internship, and since i like bragging about my multi-cultural friendships, i'll tell you that i went with the french girl and the kenyan girl from my internship, and the french girl's sri lankan boyfriend. it was pretty weird when i mentioned something about disneyland and no one knew what i was talking about.
so anyway. apparently every summer nyc does a "concerts in the park" series. tonight was a philharmonic concert from 8-10, followed by fireworks. it was PACKED. we're talking thousands and thousands of people, all crammed together on blankets, with their spreads of cheese and bread and fruit and their bottles of wine, lit by candles, with fireflies twinkling around. somewhere around 9 the smell of marijuana wafted over towards us (not that i know what marijuana smells like.....), and i felt like i was at a rich version of woodstock or something. it was like 4th of july fireworks events injected with massive doses of sophistication steroids.
in other news, no matter how much i try to fight it, my obsession with the amc show "mad men" has just grown and grown, and i'm spending WAY too much money renting the first season from blockbuster.
in case you're not familiar with it, it's about men in the advertising industry at a company on madison ave in the '60s. so basically it's totally disgusting and misogynistic and heteronormative and all that stuff feminists hate, but it's sucked me in. the fact that the leading man is a BABE has nothing to do with it. 
p.s. i quit my job. oops.

REALLY? Him? i disagree. i mean he's good looking, sure, but there's nothing out of the ordinary about him. you can turn the channel to any show and find this guy. plus he looks like he fits the misogynistic, wifebeating, drinks way too much part perfectly, but if thats what you like...c'est la vie. i'm not jealous at all hahaha

That pic of your roommate from the previous entry really does look bitchy as hell. Have you tried pooping on her face?
I still haven't sent you the things I've been meaning to send you, and i have no excuse, but i'll do it soon and in the mean time i send you e-kisses. Jonny may get not-jealous of your TV man, but i'm really not jealous of your new friends. Tell Frenchy l'Gioux to find her own Ashley! SEAT'S TAKEN!

"Breath of Ashes"
It's like stumbling upon the lost city of Pompeii,
disturbing the hollow sculptures
that were once living, breathing, humans...
And a chance breeze catches the
disheveled ashes and lifts them up to your face-
so all of a sudden you're breathing in
those long lost people and their forgotten souls.
In that instant, they become a part
of your own body and spirit,
and you can never quite go back again,
to the way it was before you made the discovery.
