The Stills: Hands on Fire
Listened to this ALL. DAY. TODAY.
This is lamonic.
The three of us used to be in a band. Back in college. Monika, Nicole and I.
We played two sold out shows in Malibu, CA. We mostly performed Ben Harper covers. In fact, we exclusively performed Ben Harper covers.
Until that last performance. I don’t want to talk about it. That last performance marked the end of the band.
But now tonight, in our apartment, with the arrival of Nicole from San Francisco, lamonic is back together again.
This band photo may or may not have been taken after sharing two bottles of champagne.
A lesson in rolling with the punches.
This morning I woke up excited to go on a day road trip up to the Storm King Arts Center in Mountainville, NY. They have a beautiful sculpture garden on 500 acres of rolling hills. I packed my camera, some snacks and planned to rent a bike for the afternoon.
First failure of the day was riding 45 minutes on the train to pick-up my car, only to realize I left my car key at home. An hour and a half later, I was ready for a second attempt.
It was then that I finally reached my car, which I’ve been keeping in a “secure” lot in Brooklyn, to find some bastard had stolen my driver’s side mirror.
I shared a few not-so-friendly words with the parking lot attendant and set off to find an Autozone, hoping they’d have a mirror in stock and with an appropriate amount of damsel-in-distress flirting, could convince some fine young fellow to install it for me.
4 Autozones, 3 random local body shops and 1 junkyard (it was worth a shot) later, I gave up and plugged “NISSAN DEALERSHIP” into my GPS. This was not after first shedding a few tears of frustration. Hey, I’m a girl, it’s what we do.
So here I am at the Yellow Hook Grille in Bay Ridge. It’s actually quite lovely sitting outside, having a beer with a burger on the way.
Not at all the day I had planned, but oh well. Life happens.
Hey, internet!
Question for you.
I’d like to be able to use my iPhone 4 while in Australia. I’ve already organized with ATT to suspend my service for the 7 months that I am gone. So great that you can do that, by the way, for only $10 a month.
I’m no good with this tech stuff and want to make sure, before I download anything, that I’m not doing permanent damage to my beautiful piece of machinery.
So if anyone is familiar with this process, can you shoot me an email at laurenfarmer.blog at gmail, or reply/comment to this post? Basically looking for a how-to jailbreak and unlock an iPhone for overseas use, and what will be needed as far as SIM cards and what not when I sign up with an Aussie service provider.
Thank you!! Thank you.
Love, Lauren
