Emily August

Just a few nights ago, the northeast experienced a magical weekend of snow falling and making everything quiet and clean. I had to save some of the memories for later (when it gets terribly grimy and we are angry Father Christmas bestowed us with such a gift). Enjoy.

What sparks your happiness and sends it careening down the street to Trafalgar Square?

Right now the most ominous storm clouds have rolled in over Jersey City, sheets of rain, pillows of thunderheads, lightning feathering the sky. I am supposed to go to Duane Reade and pick up something for my roommate but I picked the worst time to decide to leave, and instead I found this video via Ruby Psuedo, and remembered several something elses.




This one caught my attention during my last days at work on Wall Street. I would watch it over and over during work to soothe my nerves, became a tiny bit obsessed with Jose Gonzalez (whom Rory and I had seen already--was it with Four Tet?), and ultimately fell in love with The Knife because of their version of the song. And so it goes.



Remembering pressing up to the glass vending machines at the front of the Kmart in Bricktown, wishing we had extra quarters for treats like bouncy balls and stale gum. One time I pushed the soda machine at the front of the Pathmark and got a free soda, someone must have paid and not taken it. I was happy for days afterward.




Oh! Haha. This is the first time I'm seeing this version... cheers everyone.
