summer in the air

i must say this to the multitudes, as sufjan stevens' michigan goes round and round on the record player: i am so in love with this woman:

we spent the day roaming the hill country backroads in the silver car, whom i have christened 'sylvia'. helen had a midterm this morning in san marcos (half hour drive from austin), and so i leisurely enjoyed the morning at a san marcos coffee shop as she worked her magic. and then we had lunch at rivendell, a hobbit house of a restaurant where they serve you elf rolls. then the drive. wimberley, dripping springs, and laughing laughing laughing. even a mandatory trip to target was a comical adventure. i tried on an isaac mizrahi bathing suit that was horribly wrong for my poor body, and then we bought dogfood and underwear. oh yeah, and bread.

and now, i'm eating eggs for dinner, which my schmelen has lovingly prepared (over hard, thank you), and she is wokking up some fake fish, which--as opposed to fake duck, which is clearly fuck-- we call ffffish. nasty.

ah love. you know the ingredients to a perfect monday.
