A Spike Lee Joint

I missed some summer standards with friends this week. I didn't get to hang out under JN's giant vagina and watch movies al fresco on Friday and I missed HS's garden party with its jazz band today. Taking myself to places has seemed like a heavy task this week. I know my friends will understand.

But I went to see Highest 2 Lowest with At and her friends this evening. It was very fun. Nu and I had been on a bit of a Spike Lee jag recently too. We'd watched The Sound of Music, which made me think we should watch Lee's The Inside Man because it's like an alternative life trajectory for a Capt. Von Trapp character, and then we went on to Do the Right Thing and BlackkKlansman. 

Pic: A screengrab from At's social media this week: "In high school I had homemade Spike Lee converses and I wore them the entire band trip to nyc just in case I ran into him." Haha. Aw. We still have these shoes. (Also, I'm pretty sure these were knockoffs.)

I’ll bet the movie was good! I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Getting myself to go places is sometimes difficult…sometimes I love it, sometimes I just want to stay home on the sofa and read my book.

I am charmed by At and her tribute shoes. Completely and utterly.

I can never again hear "The Sound of Music" without thinking about the orangedrink lemondrink man.
Love those shoes! Lol just in case! I mean, I feel like Spike Lee would be pretty cool and would have appreciated the gesture.
I went on a rabbit hole from the giant vagina to your eyebrow piercing to wondering if you ever got a Costco membership?
