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 […]
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 […]
Lucky number seven
Seven years ago, I decided to start a blog. Some years it’s been a more prominent part of my life than others, but it’s still one of the best decisions I’ve made. Here’s to another year! Thanks for sticking around, y’all. (photo by me, taken at the Alhambra. Yep, wanderlusting as ever.)

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 […]
Where I’ll be: Washington, D.C.
After quite a few months of internship applications, and reconsidering whether or not I wanted to just spend the summer sizzling in Austin, and waiting, waiting, waiting to hear back, I finally got word a few weeks ago that I’ll be spending June and July interning at the Smithsonian in D.C.! This week, I finally […]
The Event of a Thread, and summer on the horizon
The semester’s end is a moving goalpost: as soon as I think I can reach it, it slides juuuust out of reach. In the meantime, I am ticking away boxes on my ever-growing academic and otherwise to do list before shifting to my summer to do lists: the mostly fun kind, and the kind involving […]

III Spring is like a perhaps hand (which comes carefully out of Nowhere)arranging a window,into which people look(while people stare arranging and changing placing carefully there a strange thing and a known thing here)and changing everything carefully spring is like a perhaps Hand in a window (carefully to and fro moving New and Old things,while […]
Redhead Appreciation Week: Day 5
I’ve spent the last couple of days trying to sneak in some SXSW music (and have been mildly successful), which has led me to download some new music and add some new bands on Spotify for the first time in a while. More on that in an upcoming post. But in the meantime, it got […]
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
