August 14:: Country Fair

Still on the August Break and posting every day over at flickr. Yesterday we went to a country fair. Fun. Sun + sun, livestock, lemonade, maple cotton candy, ribs, tractor + truck pulls, pig races and rides. Sprout’s first carousel ride = total glee. An awesome day, except: my gimpy ankle and the long drive [...]

August 8:: The urgency of now

I find my way in the dark, fingers slipping across the smooth surface of the wall, across the lip of the door frame, the lights needed now at 8pm. The rain is falling outside. Along the road today the first red leaf with a hole in it’s heart; chicory and queen anne’s lace at the [...]

A studio glimpse + a way cool anthology

Here are a couple snapshots from photo booth earlier when T. interrupted me unexpectedly. I had just finished this update. I often use photo booth for editing actually. I read to myself out loud, then play it back, while following along and making changes. It helps me focus on the text, especially if I’ve been [...]

The way things go + some current crushes

Hi! I have so many things I want to share with you today. First, some crushes: These luminous folder icons have completely revamped my desktop and seriously upped both my cool factor and organization. These fabulous planers are also rocking my organizational world. I am so not an organized girl when it comes to creative [...]

Media Record Day 2

Started off on media bistro this morning, and found my way here. Again apropos. I like how even here, in the seeming chaos and of the Internet, like attracts like, and patterns emerge. Later my mother sent me a link to this fascinating review of Winifred Gallagher’s Rapt; a book I now very much want [...]

Media Record Day 1

Here is a record, more or less of the media I interacted with today: The continuation of a hysterical email exchange with my dear girlfriends about married names and given names and choosing names. One of my friends is marrying a man who happens to have the same name as her, minus a syllable. You [...]

Media Habits

Wednesday. When I type that word I think of fifth grade, of the yellow lined paper I used to practice spelling it on in loopy cursive, Wed-nes-day. I still say it that way in my head when I write it out. Funny how certain things stick and others evaporate in a second. Just as I [...]

Supercapacity

In the back of my mind it registers that my stomach is hurting. It feels a little like listening to muzak, something invasive but distant, not quite distracting enough to justify attention, but enough pervasive enough to give me a vague sensation of angst. Everything is not as peachy as it could be maybe. So [...]
