The Spider's Parlor

Remember I told you that Jane, my good friend in New York, said she's finally done with her living room? Well, she's sent a photo of it, so I thought I'd show it to you. She's naturally very proud of it, she took more than the usual effort in making it look good... The sofa and the table are new, so's the carpet... the eames chair on the left was from me, and the curtain and the fortune plant are also new (or at least new since I was last there, March this year)

Herbst

I went to Frankenlabor again today (I'm becoming some kind of a daily fixture there) to bring the film rolls from Prague. I like this lab, I think they've got really good and professional service, and Andreas, the guy I always deal with there, is very friendly. I only had a couple of rolls for processing, it was way too dark and gray in Prague the whole day that we were there, I only took pictures mostly of Fred and Ginger.

As if the color shift on the leaves everywhere isn't enough to show everyone that autumn is here, the clouds thought they'd reinforce the season by going crazy (pictured, left). It's nice and cool again, but I'm apprehensive about the coming cold season. This will be my first winter in Bavaria, I'm just hoping it's not gonna get any worse than New York. Eric told me that there's a mild winter forecast in your side of the pond this year.

Btw, about the lamps that we installed (pictured, left), It was a nice surprise to see that even during daytime, when the lights are off and there's brightness coming from outside, the lamps still look nice and very light and not chunky at all. Am very pleased with the result.

A Bleh Day

Yep. Nothing special today. I put up my Interfit 3200W studio halogen light in one corner of the dining area and hang the rescue-mission plant on it. I'm always trimming the plant so much I think it needs rescuing from me now.

For dinner I roasted a whole chicken, with butter, bacon, and thyme stuffing, potatoes on the side. I didn't like it much, I should've baked it on lower temperature and longer. Oh well, next time. At least the leftover should make good chicken stock, bits and all.
