Week 2 of summer vacation

The apartment smells of garlic and I don't know why. Chris is cooking up something that smells delicious for dinner. I know it involves macaroni, basil, and garlic. We went foodshopping today so we bought lots of delicious things. Lots of fresh (summery) fruits and vegetables, rum (for mojitos!), and yogurt (for smoothies!) Then we went to the dentist where we both wound up with numb lips from our fillings.

We had a good weekend too. Friday we hit up Woodbury Commons (outlets) for a ton of shopping. We got a lot of summer stuff and amazing deals. At night, we hit up the new Rififi for some dancing. On Saturday our washer and dryer was delivered. Our landlord should be over any day to hook up the dryer. I can't wait to be able to do laundry here and not lug it around to the laundry mat. Yesterday was Lisa's shower which went well.

Nothing too exciting this week. Friday is the free Sonic Youth show with Mon and Mike and then probably Toad Hall. Saturday is the Brooklyn Brewery for the tour and cheap beers and then to a German Beer Garden for more beer and food. Exciting weekend!

I plan on perfecting my mixologist skills as well. We had mojitos before (mine was a cucumber one). I want to make a drink of blueberries, basil, vodka, sugar, and club soda, kinda like a vodka mojito? Sounds good, hope it tastes good.
