magidSunday morning I went to Revere Beach. I'd only been there once before, finding it by accident last summer while on a summer Friday afternoon bike ride. I couldn't stay, then, since Shabbat was approaching and I still had lots of prep to do (why I was out on the ride at all is another question). This time, the weather was hazy, a bit overcast, which was good for me, since I am not a lover of hot sun bouncing off the water (and sand), making me squint in addition to making me sweat. I walked barefoot on the sand, getting my feet wet... can't remember the last time I did that. There was lots of seaweed, brown and green and red. I kept wondering whether any of it was edible... There were also lots of shells of a couple of species, and bits of crabs. Also some nice pebbles. Why is it that their colors look so much more amazing when wet?
Early in the afternoon, I helped a friend getting clothes organized. Why is it so much easier to do this with someone else's stuff?
Later, I finally got to see (most of) the windows with art in Davis Square. The things I liked best included:
Cthulhia's eggs, though now they're badly faded. I can still see the designs, though some of that was memory-enhanced. I wish the sun had not been so brutal (and that the store had not taken down her artist's statement).
Pheromone's photographs. I was fascinated by the tomato-in-onion one, I think because I kept imagining cutting into an onion to find a squishy tomato inside...
I liked the name of the "li fe-kabobs" in the little park, though the pieces themselves weren't so compelling for me.
The soup stained glass, and the celery one, and the eggplant one (I finally noticed how names of eggplant dishes radiated from the 3-D eggplant in the middle).
So me other stained glass that included the life "cycle" of an egg: egg to chick to chicken to drumstick.
The wedding of Barbie and G.I. Joe was wonderful, including the invitation, the cake, guest place cards, the vows, etc. Wonderful.
And I also liked the strings of colored candies hanging in one window, just liking how the colors and shapes looked in the light, rather like a beaded doorway divider.
Oh, and Hilary Scott's automatic hamburger dispenser was fun.
I'm sure there was other stuff I liked, but am forgetting...
