things i love thursday

• Boats...particularly colorful boats in harbors
• Cardinals (because male + female are never far apart and I think it's so cute...plus, they're pretty)
• Bagels
• The idea of shooting portraits on film (come onnnn reliable 35mm SLR and/or medium format camera!) (come onnnn photo subjects!)
• The Vaccines
• IRELAND next summer!  I went in the winter and have been dying to visit in the warmer months.  I haven't made any plans yet, but Evin told me yesterday that his family over there sent invitations to a hooley (definition: Irish slang for party or celebration) in late June.
• New nail polish, like the bottle of OPI Russian Navy I picked up on a whim yesterday
