The most appropriate topic for my first post in the collective Zilber blog would be food. This afternoon, a trio of Zilbers enjoyed Father’s Day brunch in South Philadelphia. The menu included (sorry for the poor quality pictures):

-kiwi mango banana smoothies

-prosciutto topped with homemade creamed spinach and sunny side up egg baked in a muffin tin

-banana walnut flax pancakes

-(not pictured) strawberry rhubarb bread pudding with refreshing mint iced tea

Five hours later I am still full!

i’ll have more to report from aspen, co, soon, as i’m working on infiltrating the food and wine festival as we speak.

i did experience my first celebrity sighting today, that of the infamous marcel.his douche extraordinarie

a bunch of thuggy-looking slouches were crossing the street in front of my friend’s dave car, quite slowly and with lots of hand motions. and taking their time, not noticing its a green light, treating the whole world like its philadelphia, the bastards! and then i realize, its marcel, so i lean out the window and in my best falsetto, give him a passionate, “marrrrrrceeeeel!”

now as for my other fascination, music in film, and tv

i love that people can sneak any kind of music into the right kind of image, whether its webern on the sopranos, journey on the sopranos, crazy contemporary stuff on lost, bartok in the shining, funk all over the place. there is a long list, and i’d like to start documenting and sharing it….

now.

lebron catches kool and the gang’s “summer madness” perfectly, with each glorious synth attack releasing both adrenaline and endorphins!
