pour myself a cup of ambition.

wull hay... there's a new banner. what do you think?

tryin’ to rock it.

This is some me and some friends in Yosemite. Take note of my outfit.  That is my favorite favorite shirt. Yesterday, I wore my favorite shirt. In a hurry, running from one job to another, I threw my computer bag over my shoulder and walked towards the office.  I saw a guy standing outside the…

these days…

the way voices carry over water.

[oh... oh, wull hay... didn't see you there...] I am waiting for the circles under my eyes to fade back to flesh. I am waiting for one of the blurry things to become clear... just one... any one. I am waiting for answers to questions I haven't asked. I am waiting for my inside self…

we’re not drawing!

Man, I heard a song on KHOL yesterday and was like, "Wow, I love this song... I'm gonna share it" and then I totally forgot what it was.  Shwoops.  It was good though... rest assured. So, I have too many jobs now.  Random jobs have me running around working from 8am-11pm [like yesterday] and it's…

blllblllblblllbllll.

If you don't know Dabney West, you should. And if you do know her, you should wish her a happy birthday! Let me tell you a story about Dabney and birthdays. I had bought a Sesame Street balloon for a friend's belated birthday celebration and was riding around town with it.  Talk about annoying.  The…

for the moment.

oh, well damn.  go watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaYsczkWti0 ... Let me elaborate. This song.  Wow.  This song. First of all, I love it... lots.  I love the music, the vocals, the lyrics, it all. Secondly, the moment I hear it, I am taken back to a certain moment in time.  And it's silly, you're going to…

oh man, i love jackson hole.

Just in case it's too small to read, it says: "i need to borrow or rent a metal detector for only a few hours to find my water shutoff valve in my yard. i only need it for an hour or two.if you have one to loan i would appreciate it. thank you" Can someone…

less than thrilled & i thought it was so cool.

When I moved from Australia, I really needed a fresh start.  So, I took my journal and tore out most of the pages and got rid of most everything in the back pocket [it's a moleskin... so yeah, the back pocket for special treasures].  It was a very symbolic, cleansing action for me.  I set…

the magic remedy for when your stomach is making your knee hurt.

Today I babysat for the adorable three-year-old, Beckett. We were playing in the living room and then all of the sudden he froze up and said... - I can't walk anymore!  My knee... Oh... I can't walk. [he frankensteins it over to the couch and lays down.] - Beckett, buddy, you okay? - No. -…

at sea!

Upon my last crazy week in Sydney, I realized that [somehow] I accumulated more stuff than I could fit in the allowed airplane baggage. [p.s. i will never understand how i have so many clothes and yet always want something else to wear...] So three days before I left, amongst the craziest times I might…

the lamest love letter ever.

Dear Lovelies, I apologize for being very unentertaining as of late.  I am back in Jackson [WOOT!] and it is beautiful [holler!] and still filled with beautiful people [SMOOT!]... and I have no pictures of any of it yet [lame!] so I'm sorry for that. I've been running around trying to square everything away... and…

DENVER DINORTOUR 2009.

Thanks so much to Katrina for picking me up at the Denver airport and whisking me around to different diners at ungodly hours... I had a BLAST. Well, there you have it folks.  The Denver Dinortour 2009.  [c'mon... say it... "DINORTOUR"... and make claws like a velociraptor... okay, now say it again in a deeper,…

i’m back in the land of the milk and honey!

I'm back in AMERICA!!  I'm in LA!  The airport! I haven't been able to stop singing this song... Then I'll be in Denver with my dear dear friend, Katrina, for a truly magical night.  I feel this picture is appropriate: She is precious.  I am psyched to get to see her! I am SO excited!…

us by us.

My last night in Australia.  Jimmy [the great, the fabulous, my hero] cooked up some great kangaroo for dinner and we had a very unromantic romantic dinner for two.  Then a relaxing night on the streets of Darlinghurst.  With the music of us playing in the background.  All beautiful. Goodbye Australia.  You taught me a…

slowly.

These days have felt like weeks... months... I'm slowly saying goodbye to Sydney.  Not much to say. I think this song is pretty: Listening to this album a lot lately: ...live through this and you won't look back.

things i do not recommend…

this movie: it's called Tulpan... and it's the Most Boring Movie 2009. seeing/hearing passion pit in concert: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105109499 don't get me wrong, i LOVE passion pit... i do... but can we agree that this podcast is lacking?  is it just me?  or is it horrid?  i vote "just horrid."  sorry. having children: i'm just leaving…

next stop: olden days.

Can we go to the olden days? Can we?

this found happiness throughout.

We've been here before: You and I. You: Sitting at your computer with five other tabs open, keeping up with the Joneses and that tall girl in Australia. Lost again. Moving. Again. Me: Moving. Again. Leaving another nannying family tomorrow morning. Ready to get out. Usually, this would call for some Last-Day-Kitchen-Dancing. And let me…

i follow my heart…

Wow. First off, thank you.  Thank all of you for just being so awesome. When the shit hit the fan and I was lost and broken, the first thing I thought was, "I am going to be with loved ones. No matter what I do next, I will be around love."  And the first place…
