It's so interesting to see what I prayed for. What I asked for. How I talked about God and myself. Then they quickly moved to wine-fueled scramblings about… Continue reading new chapter? hell, a whole new book.
Work has been more awesome than usual lately. It might have something to do with the fact that I'm not in grad school anymore.

So much snow and sickness for a week or so made cabin fever inevitable. It was time to get out. Get to Salt Lake, see fresh faces of friends I haven't seen in so long. Friends from different walks of life at different times, living in one city... and they all became friends! A circle… Continue reading go and enjoy yourself.

After running some errands today, I decided I wanted a Dairy Queen Blizzard. Okay, who am I kidding? I had brought along coupons I've been saving for DQ. The whole point of this excursion was to get a Blizzard. Driving through town, towards DQ, I saw a hitchhiker. And I thought to myself, Self, you… Continue reading lethal poison for the system.
This blahg post is purely to remember/share the randomness/beauty of yesterday. -------------------- I've been riding my dad's old Schwinn Varsity around.

[everything is just so so exciting.] Yesterday I awoke early and started out on my bike. The Tetons beamed in the morning light at me whilst I yawned into a smile. I thought, I am so lucky.

It was a hard year. The hardest yet. Last fall. Leaving Yosemite in a blur to try and soften the blows of a family emergency and my sister's divorce. The darkness of that. Fresno. The tears of family, the delicacy of a two year old in question in your arms. Hard. The frustration of uncertainty.… Continue reading i am done.
A couple things from the girl on Vicodin*... I first saw this short film in Sydney... at the Banff Film Festival. It was so incredible for me to watch it, to be there. Sydney was rough.
