The power of a three day weekend
Chiming in here just to remind myself what a pleasant, rejuvenating weekend this was—a much needed change from the pace of life lately. Sat in the shade at the park this morning, reading a magazine and eating breakfast tacos while Riggins was (somewhat miraculously) very calm, despite loose dogs and bike bells and big trucks […]
Memory keeping
Let me ask you this: what do you do with mementos (pamphlets, tickets, maps, photos, cool paper schnipsels) from your travels? Or interesting examples of design that might catch your eye? If the answer is “toss them,” well…that’s cool for you, I guess. As for me…I’ll take that into consideration when I’m a new person […]
All the (house) feelingz
[a little sidenote: It has been a strange few weeks, punctuated by Friday’s amazing news from D.C. on the legalization of gay marriage. I am truly overjoyed that we’ve finally legalized something so obvious to me: that love comes in many forms, and in whatever form, it deserves to be seen and to count. I […]
The Goldilocks of art
I firmly believe that nothing makes a space yours like art. While I generally take a little time to settle in and feel things out, I try to get art on the walls within the first few months of moving into a new place – and no, I don’t worry too much about putting holes […]
The lost holidays
[actual autocorrect I got today] Happy Easter, all! Happy Passover! Or, in my case, Happy Sunday! Growing up, holidays were a big thing around my house. My mom decorates for seven holidays a year, I believe, and we had family traditions affiliated with so many of those days. Cards and chocolate and little presents […]
That fall feeling and last night’s dream
Since I still haven’t learned how to write short, single-topic posts, I thought I’d just throw in that having a blog, even a neglected blog like mine, is great for many reasons, only one of them being that I’m reminded of how seasonal my urges are, even when living in a place with little drama […]
Catch up
So much has happened in the last few months and I’ve been dying to a) know where things are leading and b) write about it here. I guess most importantly: I got a job! The Monday after graduation, back in May, I started interning four days a week at a large tech company with an […]
This week’s to do list (- hot water)
I made it back to Austin last night, despite the polar vortex (great weather name, no?) and threats of overbooking and delays. Denver airport was full of camped-out travelers and the line at the United customer service desk was long long long, so I had my moments of doubt, but all went pretty smoothly and […]
Game planning (Thanksgiving edition)
This morning, my Facebook feed blew up with talk of “the big game,” the annual Montana-Montana State football game (which is, somewhat foolishly to my way of thinking, called “The Brawl of the Wild”). While alums of both schools taunted one another, I was doing my own kind of game planning: the kind that involves […]
Fall longing
Fall is the season of bloggers. Every blogger and her mother is celebrating the solstice today, the crisp morning air, the hot apple cider to come, pumpkin everything, hearty crock pot meals, cozy sweaters and knee high boots. It makes me so jealous. Here in Texas, it’s supposed to be 90 all week (or, as […]
I like writing, photography, reading, music, design, typography, paper products, days in the seventies and sparkly snow, Spanish wine and cans of PBR. I spent a year in Córdoba, Spain, working as a
