Reminiscing: Holiday in Spain (part 1, Madrid)
I may have a future as an archivist after all, since apparently I’ve gotten more comfortable with always having a backlog I just keep slogging through. By this I mean, I’ve caught up on Flickr uploads…through 2011! Success? One of the really fun parts about going through old photos is reminiscing about fun times, creative […]
View from my kitchen window
As much as I put off doing dishes, there can sometimes be a certain kind of therapy in zoning out and looking out the window while the warm, soapy water scrubs everything clean and then gets washed down the sink. As I’ve been trying to spend less money eating out, and have been trying to […]
summer in photos (v.1)
A few recent Flickr faves. Can you tell that I have summer on the brain? I want to be wearing tank tops, sitting in a swimsuit by the pool, barbecuing every night! Hung most of the living room/dining room/kitchen art this past weekend. Next up: my art wall in the bedroom. Trying to get some […]

Happy 4th!
Hope you’ll be somewhere warm, with a cold beer in hand and some picnic food on a paper plate. I’m headed up to the lake with friends – should be fun! Happy birthday Mom! Gangsta firecrackers
Back to basics
With as much time as I spend online, and as much as I love everything from browsing Amazon or the NYTimes online to reading blogs on Google Reader to doing a little html/CSS editing of my own, my heart is still with paper. I’m working at a stationery shop, and I can tell you that […]
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
