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 […]
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 […]
Redhead Appreciation Week: Day 2
Cosmic Love (live on KEXP) Such a beautiful video, such a beautiful voice. And I can’t help but notice her super intense red hair, either… I try not to post videos alone, but this one is worth your time.
Lifelist check: Counting Crows live
I have never compiled a bucket list, or a 30 before 30 list (though I’m thinking about it, with thirty a little more than a year away!) But, even without formal list making, our little life lists start to develop. I want to see Machu Picchu before I die. And the Taj Mahal. And the […]
This week
» Sunday was my birthday. Great sushi, friends and family in town, and lots of fun presents. I’m finally the owner of a pair of TOMS (the Carpe Diem style), a present from my mom. Just in time for spring! As my sister said, inspirational. footwear. Just my style. There was also a snarky comment […]
An unthemed update (time to catch up)
I’m sitting in my living room, listening to “Linus and Lucy” for one of the first times this season, a little transfixed by the Christmas tree, finally decorated. It’s my first tree (and I even wielded the saw!) and is mostly covered with my parents’ castoff ornaments and a bunch of FIMO fruit ornaments […]
well hello friend
I’m finally ready to welcome you. Celebrating with quilts and peppermint tea, quiet evenings listening to Adele. Leaf collecting has officially begun. Pumpkin muffins on this week’s agenda. So, pull up a chair and tell me: what are your favorite fall rituals? Who’s playing on your stereo these days? (photo via hier houd ik van […]
Seven years ago
Dave Matthews Band, The Gorge, 2004 All but one of these yahoos will be joining me to relive our youth at the Caravan this weekend. Four nights, three days of concerts, flying and driving in from Chicago, L.A., and all corners of Montana, with a couple of new people (sisters, wives, fiancees) added along the way. […]
Garland all the lawn
This has been a very strange summer, and all of a sudden I’m realizing that it’s mid-July and it’s halfway over. Montana summers don’t really follow the June-July-August model, to be fair, and I’m sure we’ll have some lovely, warm September days. Even so, it’s mid-July. I think I’ve eaten a total of two meals […]
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
