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 […]
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 […]
Currently
Listening: to more music than I have in a long time! It’s been nice to work in a couple of places this summer where my focus is actually increased by listening to music, and not just the instrumental/foreign/wordless stuff I listened to when writing papers through grad school. I even bought new headphones to mark […]
Wanderlusting
I had one of those dreams last night that seemed really vivid at the time, although now I can’t really remember much about it. I woke up around 6:30, when the world was still half-dark but the birds were starting to chirp. In the dream, I had decided to go to Amsterdam. I was trying […]
A 365 Project for my 30th Year
One way or another, this is going to be an important year. Finishing grad school, most likely moving, starting fresh all over again. And today I turned 30. It took all of those things to finally convince me to do something I’ve been considering for many years: a 365 project. One photo a day for […]
Three months and counting
It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost two years since I made my move and landed in Austin. And now, in just three months, I’ll be graduating from my master’s program! (insert equal measures of excitement/trepidation/hope/terror) This semester has been the most hectic, by far. I’m trying to apply to jobs but so far […]
Conversations with friends
I am a verbal processor. I think out loud, preferably talking through things with someone. Sometimes I talk out loud to myself, because even hearing things in my own voice often helps me to figure out what hits the right note. As I talk, things start to make more sense. In some ways, this might […]
Year-end musings
It seems like December 31 is the year’s most contemplative day, don’t you think? The bug hits me, I’ll admit. I’ve spent the past few days thinking about the year, the pace of which felt a little like this. Even as the light dims this late afternoon (snow is falling!), I’m still hoping to have […]
Final hour thoughts
I’m at the airport, an hour away from commencing my westward migration. Today: to Austin. Two days later: to Montana for almost two weeks. Somehow, tomorrow is August. Despite my best tourist efforts in the last two weeks, much remains that I did not see or do in D.C. Eleven years will not pass between […]
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
