Bye bye 2016 (you were a trip)

By Emily on January 1, 2017

I’m going to wrest myself away from old episodes of The Great British Bake Off long enough to bid farewell to 2016. If I had to use to just one word to describe the last year, I’d say: tumultuous. There were some highs and some lows, but mostly it was just unsettled and, truth be […]

Three trips for 2016

Three trips for 2016

By Emily on January 9, 2016

It seems about right that I’m wishing you a happy new year 9 days in…”constantly playing catch up” was a theme for last year. But I gave myself a bit of a break—instead of wrapping up the new year in contemplation and quiet, as I generally like to do, I spent the last day of […]

Year-end musings

Year-end musings

By Emily on December 31, 2013

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 […]

Bye bye, 2008

By Emily on December 31, 2008

I have to admit, I’m not much of a fan of New Year’s Eve. Any event that includes a countdown seems to be anticlimactic, I think. But I’ll go out with some old friends, meet my friend’s fiance (fresh off the plane from England), toast them with some free champagne at midnight, and look forward […]

About Me

photo of miamired 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 language and culture assistant through the Spanish government, traveling, and writing about it here. After a few years back in my home state of Montana, I moved to Austin, Texas, where I like to go exploring, take pictures of my food, write letters, dream of far-off places, and think about concepts of home.
