the best 36-hour period of my entire life

one unbelievable smoked meat sandwich from Mile End (brisket, rye bread, mustard!), five homemade chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and delicious almond milk made by my sister (thanks Cambria!), one icy and delicious ginger ale on a humid day

three cool videos made by NYTimes (hilarious&delicious Minimalist recipe for pound cake; Sleigh Bells story which makes me appreciate them for real; a fascinating app called Improvox which makes me want to make music on it), one discovery of new viral territory in "Hot Drinks" and other Wendy's training videos, one reading of actually insightful and well-written column by Frank Rich

two beautiful new film experiences (Blue Velvet already scene but new again on the big screen; Wings of Desire utterly unknown), beautiful musical listenings to Delorean, Sufjan Stevens, and "Cliffs of Dover" - all moving either by emotion or dance, two instances of jaw-dropping jazz (an amazing oldie Al Foster, an incredible new fusion by the Afro-Peruvian sextet)

two encounters with friends on the streets of E. Vill, and over 9000 THOUSAND flirtations with beautiful strangers.

To whom does this dream belong?
How could it have happened -
is it even possible?
And what if I never wake up?
