My weekend was right on "Target"...

so to speak...Friday night was a good night, I went to Target for 3 HOURS with Magpie and the Floating Head (they've both just moved into new apartments, or are about to) and so they have the fun job of buying all the stuff you need to clean, to decorate, etc....I love that part of moving...I just bought some fun stuff, such as a mouse pad with a calendar that you can write on, a throw for my couch (pink orange red..isn't that a cocteau twins song? yes, by golly it is...and I think a Rothko painting), new earphones (Zeusapollo will be happy about that, as they are cushiony and I no longer will have to JAM the earphones into his head with my grabby hands as he claims I'm wont to do) plus a yoga dvd (since I don't seem to be making any effort to go to the class at Integral...maybe at some point I'll try again...) and then we headed back to my neighborhood for some great Indian food and a bottle of wine at the Jackson Diner and had lots of laughs...Saturday was supposed to be brunch at Bubby's in Dumbo, but no one could go, so instead I met Lucia and we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge, walked on the Promenade, through Brooklyn Heights, then over to Dumbo, to Jacques Torres (http://mrchocolate.com/) for the best chocolat in the world, ever, period, hands down and then to Bubby's for a pork chop with some asparagus and rosemary potatoes...very lovely, like a homecooked meal...then there is a place to sit right outside - the Brooklyn Bridge Park - funny strange, I've never seen it before - and you have the most perfect view of the city, so we sat there and ate some of the good chocolat and watched the sunset and then walked back over the bridge, up through Chinatown and that was that...

Weird old warehouse in Dumbo...looks haunted, yes?

Sunset...perfect, right?

Ohmigod! I was mentioned in your blog! That's very exciting for me! I feel "touched by the hand of god" (which is a New Order song - but not, as far as I know, a Rothko painting).

Target was top; but I think the shower curtain fumes have given me "brain damage" (which is a Pink Floyd song, etc...)

Well, I can't think of any more songs.

I love target too. I have to go back to get some essentials that I can now get.

P.S. Eureka is doing well.
