thus far

new shoes

///source///

///source////

um, ive spent the last two nights in the lib until 2am
and this vegetarian, person of of questionable politics and flexible morality is honestly super happy about her new shoes, like really happy, like i had to do a 3am fashion show, with a play by play of shoe awesomeness to B
its like if my early attempts at wiccan-ism stuck and i opened up a store for people who worship the earth and also liked to look cute while communing with her, these shoes would be IT

oh oh oh thank you Mr.Campbell for your awesome designs

xoxo

...i heart...

sometimes i feel like i exist in a real time version of this movie

and that is totally ok

"what am I doing? What am I doing? I don't know what I'm doing. I'm doing the best that I can. I know that's all I can ask of myself. Is that good enough? Is my work doing any good? Is anybody paying attention? Is it hopeless to try and change things? The African guy is a sign, right? Because if he isn't, than nothing in this world makes any sense to me. I'm fucked! Maybe I should quit. Don't quit! " ///source///

magical gettaway super secret spot

...over the shoulder of babes...

"Complaining about the assholes we interact with on a daily basis is the #1 eternal pastime of the human race. We all do it, and we get to do it every day, because the world is full of assholes. Me personally, I waste an enormous amount of time seething over people who get onto crowded subway cars with big backpacks on and/or talk in the Amtrak quiet car and/or drive 57 mph in the fast lane or, my personal favorite, walking with glacial slowness in a horizontal row four overweight tourists across on a New York City sidewalk. We all get into furious arguments at work that make us want to explode in self-righteous fury (in my office dramas I always realize I was actually the asshole a day or so later) and when we get home from work, this is usually what our loved ones hear about for at least the first hour or so."

I still maintain that I want to make jam

i can do either urban or rural-ish

but not never suburban, sprawl souffles your soul & makes compost out of it

...currently in the heap of where to exist...

but i could do this: the prettiest living situation outside of the city their everything is simply amazing...

... their home makes me want to start packing...

la la la

"only seven of the world's 150 elected national representatives are female"

did that get your attention?

what about the climate crisis?

we should all be more concerned than we are...

interesting reads...

start here

feminism and climate change

Greenland is melting quicker than we thought

monday monday

////source////

there is alot of from all the corners

bits and comments about

whatever one else is doing

and it seems like a lot of people feel like its a monday monday morning or a sunday afternoon all the time

like taking a nap in the afternoon and waking up when its dark out

or maybe coming home after a vacation

maybe its all about inspiration and perspiration

just thoughts

embrace the monday monday, but act like its friday friday

xoxo

i cant cant cant cant wait

congrats!!!!!

today two very important things happened.

i had to research stuff, information, in books, not online, in a lie-berry, in the basement, by myself, with no cell phone service.

books do exist. they are real, they help you find information, and if you can't there are librarians (people who can help you find information) there to help you.

what a crazy world.

how strangely reliant we are on the inter-web & non human contact.

i remember in 3rd grade figuring out with my BFFs who got to take out the Witches Handbook, the seminal book for an eight year old from the lie-berry.

also on a completely unrelated note, from a completely unrelated part of life...

Z, R & C (now known to the world as Katie) do you remember the guy who would yell ICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! ICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! i thought of him today?!?!?! I wonder what hes up to...


okay, and im back to work...

dear weekend..

where did these bruises come from?

could you enlighten me?

that would be great....

looking forward to my long train ride this weekend...

who doesn't like to watch the world whiz by and daydream???

....music to my...

volcano choir

LP

i miss you. and our nonsensical conversations about everything and nothing and the importance of anthropologie

when are we picking apples

& baking vegan sugar chicken cookies
& day drinking
& passing out to poorly chosen movies...

when I ask, when?

happy birthday Jen-nee-feer

may it be filled with...
pp walks & pups
bevvies & yummies
& your dapper husband

xoxo

the sky is so big

the sky is normally big in other places, not so much in ny

but recently... the sky HAS been so big?

is there a science reason for this?

does it matter? its so pretty...

brooklyn, brooklyn say it twice

i am looking forward to you this weekend...


xoxoxo

what does this mean for my sparklehorse?

fall is the best time of year

ummm

this is the best time of year to drive and drive and drive and drive and drive.....


last end of august/early September i holed up in my apartment reading the historian i had found on the street

just wishing it was cold enough to wear boots and drink tea and crunch on leaves

in ny, we have been having the most perfect weather....

I've been listening to mount eerie julie doiron fred squire kinda makes me want to find an orchard, pick some apples and take a nap with friends... especially voice in headphones...


xoxo

happy labor day my loves

freaks & geeks

i dress everyday. as though its dress up.

and this week I've been working with freaks & geeks.

I got this coat for my birthday and started wearing it this week, as temperatures went to from hot & humid, to awesome & brisk.

but after a few days i began to realize that i was most certainly channelling..... Linda Cardellini as Lindsay Weir from Freaks & Geeks

spotted in bklyn

i do not know what it means, or if its a thing, perhaps its a non-thing...but

it was really funny to stumble upon during a late night walk

the sun also rises

i am lost in a book.

its no good, i really should be reading about other much more boring and less important things.

but alas...

i got caught up in the paris review last night, reading interviews, seriously, how wonderful...

sometimes or at least yesterday i wondered what in the world i am doing.

sometimes i do things that are so contrary to what i want to do...

i just want to travel, write and save the world.. is that too much to ask...

"But later everything he sees goes into the great reserve of things he knows or has seen. If it is any use to know it, I always try to write on the principle of the iceberg. There is seven-eighths of it underwater for every part that shows. Anything you know you can eliminate and it only strengthens your iceberg. It is the part that doesn’t show."

Ernest Hemingway, from the Paris Review Issue 18, Spring 1958

hippity happity

xo rainy days

you are not so bad...

in fact, you even the playing field, because i have to stay in and work all day...

i am going to bake cookies, i'm going to yoga and i am going to nap...

today will be glorious...

happy weekending....
