The Demoralizers.

The title is in capitals... that's how you know this is serious... Demoralizer #1: Baking. I love ginger cookies... like, a lot.  And Char Davis [no blahg link... she's cooler than the internet] makes the best chewy ginger cookie I've ever had.  So, in a fit of self-betterment, I decided I wanted to be more…

when they ask me where i’m from…

Evan officially moved in a couple days ago. It's so exciting. I talked to a friend on the phone tonight and he asked... - Does Evan have a job yet? - No... But we have a lot of rice, so I think we'll survive. We laughed at how poor we are but how much we…

live your life live your life live your life.

Maurice Sendak, author and illustrator, is best known for Where the Wild Things Are.  And he has a new book, which is so exciting. But I don't know if any of his books [which i love dearly dearly] will ever have the same affect on me that his interview from today's Fresh Air has had...…

we embrace our love/friendship and go.

This weekend has been brutal. Why?  Oh, because my whole Texas-dwelling family was privileged enough to attend the Austin City Limits Festival. Brutal?  Because I couldn't be there with them. Convincing my brother to go see Pretty Lights: ...and getting back a rave review. Having texts sent throughout the days of favorite songs by favorite…

try pellegrino!

I just realized how awesome I must have looked walking down the street with my matching drink and outfit...   My dress is green... you could see that if I stood... but I can't be bothered to stand. And a song for sitting... in the coolness...

just drop your dress a little bit…

When I lived in Australia, Skyping with my family was the sunshine for me.  Seeing my family was great, needed... but my daddy really stole the stage. He would have a pile of props [unseen from the shot] and use them in a conversation filled with more puns than your own dad has used in…

to who? everyone.

I saw a girl on her bike get hit by a car today.  I've never seen that. It was right downtown.  The whole block froze. - ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! ...is all that was heard in the surrounding dead silence, yelled by many of us.  Still no one moved.  Everyone was still. She stood up.  Shaken. …

red shoes and all.

This is me. Yes, if you haven't had enough of the most self-involved blahg, here you go. A picture of me... myself... red shoes and all. A picture of myself... After a month of working at a company I can't get enough of. After dinner with the board.  Whoa. After living in my dream apartment…

keep you in my heart.

I meant to put this up a while ago. But life has had me doing so many other things besides blahgging. Regardless, music has been playing the whole time I've been adventuring, working, loving, dancing, learning. So, I want to share some of that music... with you. Here ye be: [THE DREGS OF SUMMER] [some…

stay.
