I've been drinking a lot of seltzer lately. Just plain seltzer, maybe a little lemon. I used to hate it, when I didn't know the difference between it and tonic water, which is gross, but water with bubbles didn't appeal to me back then. I was a dedicated Coke drinker. Where I come from it is completely acceptable to have Coke (or a coke, i.e. a soda of any variety) in the morning instead of coffee. I fully support this practice. Really, what's the difference? Sugar+caffeine=awake.
Maybe I just need a lift from the bubbles in my seltzer.
Tonight I'm going to the International Center of Photography to see the Stephen Shore Exhibit before it hits the road (ha ha). There's something so quiet and calming about his photography that at once sooths and surprises me. There's the one on the ICP website with the full billboard of a mountain scene right where you'd expect the real mountains to be. It blows my mind how powerful subtlety can be. I want to be like that in everything I do, every minute of the day, but I don't have the patience or reserve.
The photo also reminds me of some lyrics to a John Mayer song which I refuse to be ashamed I like. Actually, I refuse to be ashamed that I like John Mayer a lot. A lot a lot.
But subtly, of course.
