My Photo

Definition

  • [es-pree de less-ka/-iay] (idiom) A witty remark that occurs to you too late, literally on the way down the stairs. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations defines esprit de l'escalier as, "An untranslatable phrase, the meaning of which is that one only thinks on one's way downstairs of the smart retort one might have made in the drawing room."

Happy weekend!

Plymouth

This photo is a polaroid with some special film made for my old school polaroid camera.  (It's a long explanation about the film, and far too geeky if you don't already know about it.)  I only bought two packs and am regretting that (I should have splurged for more).  The tones are a little sepia-ish, but I think they add even more of an old fashioned look to them.  (The pug photo from below is also with this film.)  Anyhow I've only got 16 shots total (14 left).  I hope I don't screw any of them up!

Oh, and the car?  The sign in the window boasted it has never rusted.  1950 Plymouth.  For sale, if you're interested.

This weekend I've got people coming in town (including a brief visit from this fabbo lady), scouting for a photo project and it's going to be a scorcher from what I hear.  What do you all have planned?

It is a beautiful 83 degrees and overcast here in Chi-town, and I am sipping a cherry infused lambic. This is my plan for the day.

Cristina is fantastic and we are having a lovely weekend! Kayaking down the Chicago river was amazing - definitely something I am going to do when people come to visit. It's only $15 an hour!!! It's not exhausting and the views are amazing.

Cristina and I had "urban brunch" yesterday (I now use this Claire term-of-art frequently) and wished you had been here. I had eggs over-easy with corn cakes and spiral cut ham. Nom nom nom.

You best be for reals about taking me to the state fair. I want something fried on stick. Ohio ain't the fattest state in the nation for nothin'.

And PLEASE say hello to miss Stacy - I'm glad she brings her sunny disposition and good energy to the Midwest - she's like an atmospheric phenomenon.
