hey there

hey there, originally uploaded by benjaminhyun.

I really like these classic faces - the towering and sloping noses, the slightly chubby and cherubic cheeks that wrap around the delicate lips. The tilt of her head lets me know she is sincere in her thoughts - she was worthy of becoming a statue.

Anyhow - enough of me trying to be a sentimental observer.

Ate at BARBRIX last night with Debbie, Eli, Sarah, and a new friend named Dean. 1/2 off wine/beer at the bar with tapas type food. I haven't REALLY hung out in Silverlake so much, so it was all a new experience for me. It's a great neighborhood - it's strange. I felt some reassurance here because I knew people were aware, peaceful, and more concerned with art, equality, and embracing differences . Really - not that I have anything to "fear" in Los Angeles, but it just feels good. I guess some blankets are softer than others.

Ate some:

Speck (been a long time, baby)
Parpadelle
Crostini Misti
Duck Confit
Tagliatelle

Tried some italian rose´ last night; did not know such a thing existed knowing that italians love their cold cold cold white wine and dark dark room temperature reds. Must have been an American idea, but I loved it either way.
