long weekend
it was a very busy weekend for me... went to see fireworks at the esplanade on the 4th... it was at least worth the heat + humidity we had to suffer... will post pics soon... afterwards we went to 711 Boylston for some jazz + wine... the band was really nice, complete with cello, violin and trumpet... and the vocalist sang sinatra... mmm... :)
next day went to newport w/ kunto and ralph, and saw "the breakers," vanderbilt's mansion by the sea... one word: excessive! some of the stuff were impressive and beautiful, but combine them altogether, and they just lost their beauty in a jumble of bad randomness... then again, maybe that's just me.
but the scenery outside of the house was just awesome! we just sat on the grass and looking out at the sea and the sky.... you could also see the skyline of the city across... very pretty and soothing... the clouds are very similar to the simpson's clouds... took a lot of pictures of yellow seaweed... i just like the brightness of it and the texture... later that night we went to 711 again, but there was no band this time... :(
on saturday, me, sisca and kiki decided to do a weekend painting project... so we went to the art store and bought some paint and canvases... not sure what got into me, but i painted this really depressing (or contemplative, depending on how you look at it) cigarette butt surrounded by dark red walls... which didn't really match my mood that day, cuz i was having fun and practically bouncing off the wall with bursting energy i got from all the food and sweet stuff i kept eating all day...
anyway, on sunday i went drinking (again!) at barcode with audy, kiki + martin... i didn't plan on it, i swear! but for some reasons we drank a LOT... like 8-9 glasses each, which wasn't too surprising, really, cuz we stayed there for about 5 hours, until the place closed. i don't even really remember what we were talking about anymore... :P
