[darden]

dinner with the boyfriend. going out to a Spanish restaurant.

not sure if it'll be just the two of us or the whole gang... I told him I had no preference either way and he was welcome to send out a group text (or not), but it's his choice.

 

[Maestro719]

I'm staying home with my bowls and my PS3.

 

[geloge]

drunk again :/

 

[AstareGod]

Two margaritas in and starting on my lemon drops. I may get some storywriting in. Hopefully.

Hopefully ten more weeks until I move out of Mississippi to Washington state. Just waiting on my boss's word as to whether or not I can keep my job after I move.

 

[Gentleheart]

y'all know I'm a homebody.

I'm staying in with the hubster and watching some Will & Grace reruns.

 

[AstareGod]

I'm two years Coca-Cola free and one year meat free (save for seafood). I wonder what's worse - Coke and beef or alcohol?

(Though alcohol tends to make it a bit harder to type.)

At home from work, browsing the internet right now and don't have any intentions of going out. Going to grab something to eat and play some games, which is very enjoyable to me.

 

[Pianist]

Yes... I went out to get some bread, and some skin lotion for Ariel.

I'm going out tomorrow night as well as it's the first concert of the season for Out In Harmony, the community choir, I sing in.

modernist architecture doesn't have gables

 

[RaKroma]

I went out tonight to Hell's Kitchen area bars with several friends, haven't partied with the gays in many months. Felt bit strange that I recognized so many faces of guys that I don't know, as if the scene couldn't feel any smaller even when you don't hang out often there.

I have to kind of envy you on this...you recognize faces of people you HAVEN'T met? Shit - I have a lot of trouble assigning (and keeping) names to faces of people I've met, even repeatedly. I've been to church nine times in recent months, and I still can't assign names to most of the people there, and there's fewer than 20 of us.

My facial memory is almost like an Etch-a-Sketch being turned over and shaken as soon as the meeting is over.

lecture on modernist architecture on Fire Island.

http://www.booksandbooks.com/event/alastair-gordon-christopher-rawlins-fire-island-modernist-gables

last friday I attended a lecture by Alastair Gordon & Christopher Rawlins on their new book Fire Island Modernist: Horace Gifford and the Architecture of Seduction at Book and Books in Coral Gables.

"As the 1960s became The Sixties, architect Horace Gifford executed a remarkable series of beach houses that transformed the terrain and culture of New York's Fire Island. Growing up on the beaches of Florida, Gifford forged a deep connection with coastal landscapes. Pairing this sensitivity with jazzy improvisations on modernist themes, he perfected a sustainable modernism in cedar and glass that was as attuned to natural landscapes as to our animal natures. Gifford's serene 1960s pavilions provided refuge from a hostile world, while his exuberant post-Stonewall, pre-AIDS masterpieces orchestrated bacchanals of liberation. Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift once spurned Hollywood limos for the rustic charm of Fire Island's boardwalks. Truman Capote wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's here. Diane von Furstenburg showed off her latest wrap dresses to an audience that included Halston, Giorgio Sant' Angelo, Calvin Klein and Geoffrey Beene. Today, such a roster evokes the aloof, gated compounds of the Hamptons or Malibu. But these celebrities lived in modestly scaled homes alongside middle-class vacationers, all with equal access to Fire Island's natural beauty. Blending cultural and architectural history, Fire Island Modernist ponders a fascinating era through an overlooked architect whose life, work and colorful milieu trace the operatic arc of a lost generation, and still resonate with artistic and historical import."
