So my dear friend Courtney, with whom I've had too many misadventures to count, surprised me last week by stopping by Brooklyn on her way back to school in D.C. We had some fun! After a hearty lunch at Yemen Cafe, we took a stroll down the promenade and took some nice pics.
Afterwards, crazy old Chipsy just could not help herself from licking the Statue of Liberty.
Walking back, we came upon a mysterious magenta light bathing the sidewalk and we couldn't figure out where it was coming from! Neither of us had ever seen anything so. . .peculiar. It wasn't reflecting off anything, yet it didn't seem to be coming directly from anywhere either. Was someone toying with us? The game was afoot! We decided to go about investigating the mystery like proper detectives by tagging and documenting the evidence, as well as writing down clues. Just as I went to tag and photograph the mysterious light, it dissappeared. And so did the sun! Ah ha! Our first, and sadly, as it came to be, only clue.
The elusive and baffling light toyed with us for a good 10 minutesUndeterred by its dissappearance, I tagged the spot where the light had once been.
We waited for the light to reappear and for more clues, but the trail had gone cold. We were perplexed, but it was getting chilly out and we decided it was time to head home.
We headed back to my pad and read through some old notebooks and journals of mine from Madrid and I was crying laughing remembering one particularly wild night in Toledo.
I love hanging out with Chipsy 'cause we can just shoot the shit for hours and be ridiculously silly and gossipy for hours and miles. Also outrageous things eventually happen to us and when they don't, we just make something up. Plus, we have a deep well of memories to draw on and drink deeply from. Ah, refreshing.
It's not all a bed of roses though. . .I still wake up screaming in the middle of the night thinking of that unholy magenta light. . .
