Welcome to hell.

It’s officially the most disgusting time of year! Other than eating this tomato sandwich on repeat or watching these vacation movies or these TV episodes or these perfect summer movies, what shall we do to pass the time until the best time of the year arrives?

Tan on Governor’s Island. I have to get a tan somewhere, so why not there? I love the idea of renting a bike, taking the ferry, riding around that car-less paradise and then just lounging anywhere in the sun. Shit, is that maybe the answer… to life?
Make a summer buckle. I never have before and the main reason I want to? It has a fun name.
Visit Storm King. See what the big deal is.
Go swimming at least five times. This is really for my sanity, I need to be in water.
Visit the new Kim’s Video because it seems cool as hell.

Again, I encourage you to make a list of your own because this life is not long and you should maybe eat a buckle while you still can.

And if you can’t think of ideas on your own, here are some past summer lists of mine to peruse for inspiration.
