Luckily for Bahareh and i we have friends who come up with great ideas for us. Meaning, Panos and Brent planned to go apple picking upstate in Granite Springs and then we just jumped into their wagon.
Suckers.
The ride up:
....we saw some amazing homes. I want the one up top because its the very last home in a dead end on a hill, it also needs to be gutted and restored, and its easily on a full acre.
Bahareh prefers the second house because its the exact opposite of my choice - its ready-to-move-in.
We did agree on:
...and we finally arrived.
A couple hours later we waved farewell to the apple fields that embraced us with delicious bounty.
Panos was headed back to Boston so before dropping the rest of us off at the train station we wandered the town's streets for goodies.
We decided on a cute (yes, i really mean 'cute') little southern italian diner on what we considered 'Main Street'. The food's amazing.
Homeward bound:
Monday was indeed a great day. We ate like spoiled elementary schoolers and, uhm....i think that was the entire day, really. ha.
Oh! We got apples n shit. 27lbs of it.
Bahareh's gonna make a whole bunch of apple goodies; apple cider, apple tart, apple pie, apple toilet paper, apple remote controls...
autumn anyone?

Apples Galore
1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Im proud to announce JELSEN JARGON's 1st year of sole freelance & permalance. Many thanks go out to many people.
Without some of you folks i'd eat a whole lot less, my wedding would have been a shotgun, i wouldnt experience so many midweek weekends, and i'd still be trying to convince my parents i dont need a PhD in graphic design to get ahead in this business.
Ive met tons of amazing people and talent throughout many on-site / off-site gigs. I also learned a thing or two about professionalism.
Bigups to my recruiter Greg Christman, my friends that keep supporting and vouching for me, and all you guys that reply to my emails worldwide.
To many more relationships....
thanks again,

Diesel's XX + X Party
After my drink-all-day saturday and Bahareh's work all day we met up and headed to Diesel's XXX party.
Confetti was on full force. Famous people too.
Bumped into a bunch of folks. Here's Fly Lady Di. And we stole some of her sweet stuff.
.....and here's Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn Borough President. I dont think ive ever seen a pic of this dude not smiling. 
Simon was so sincere about teaching Greg and i how to do the 'To The Wiiiiirl!' move. I was [trying] to tell him the move's more like 'To The Moooooon, Sucka!'. He won.
Jess exhibited how a lady double-fists: both pinkies erect.
These guys. These guys. ha.
Bahareh was convinced they were on ecstacy. When they were well into a 7min lip-lock the guy on the right turned around and leaned in to kiss me....and then tried his charm on B.
He was having proper fun.
Yep - that's M.I.A.'s preggars belly. I guess most people already knew this but to me it was a surprise.
Oh, Whitney!

My Sister From Another Mister came down for a visit this wknd from Montreal. Jessica, consistently, kept me giggling.
If McCain wins, Canada might be an option for The Innocents.
