adventures of late

some of our latest adventures, in instagram form :)

we went to see les miserables last night!
I was happy as a clam, though chris had some
harsh critiques :) the musical kept me thinking
of the arab spring movement and how people
will do anything to be free.

our dear friends, erica and ryan. aren't they the cutest?

chris and i showed up to the kennedy center in matching gingham! haha!

what is it about gelato that gets my heart racing?

my new bracelet courtesy of minjoy! thanks guys :)

chris concentrates on his second love, Siri, at Teaism in Dupont Circle

an early birthday brats and beer cruise from Chris. it was a happy occasion!

chris stuffs his face

pretty bikes

my new hippo friend, brought back from a
colleague who visited Africa. I think this is a
Tanzanian hippo :)

love

adams morgan by night

Here's another 8mm app video for you all! As you can tell, I love this app. I shot this while waiting to meet Chris for dinner last night in his neighborhood, Adams Morgan, which is equal parts seedy and lively, as you can tell in this clip. Enjoy!

8mm

so i got my iphone last week and it is truly amazing. I shake my head over having gone with the droid first.

i should've realized that I have NEVER been a hardware person. sure, some people can hack into their droids and make them into really efficient little machines, and I respect that. but i like my computer to function as it should -- simply.

but i love good software, so i should have known that the iphone was for me, because while a droid is nice, the iphone is better supported by the app community. (especially publications! So many pubs/media organizations have iphone apps but not droid apps. when I found out NPR didn't have a droid app, i was SO disappointed.)

my first app purchase was 8mm ($1.99). think of it as hipstamatic for your video camera. here's my first video shot with the app: my new office space! can you imagine if i'd had this app at joy's wedding?? omg.

anyways, hope you enjoy!

want!

this dress is the epitome of easy fall style. long sleeved black shirt underneath with some tights and ankle boots, or a warm, wolly grey cardigan over with knee high socks and tall boots. so pretty, don't you think?

christopher's former roommate mel was part of a team of architecture students from parsons who built a house to enter into the department of energy's solar decathalon. the 19 finalists get to build and display their homes on the washington national mall. even though it was freezing cold, raining, and grey, we headed down there to check it out and i'm so glad we did. the innovative and beautiful designs were a pleasure to see :)

brooklynites reunited in DC. unfortunately i got
horrible pictures of the inside of the house mel built,
so this is from the outside.

wood can be so pretty
