I just made the below image my phone wallpaper & am caught up in the viscerality of my sense memory of summers past.
Summer has always been my favorite season. My birthday is on June 1st and always brings with it the feeling of fresh, bright, fun times. It’s the start of summer to me: the [...]

The other day I woke up to a dream where a group of friends and I were flying around without assistance.
It was natural to us but also fun and exciting. We were practicing our techniques and it felt super realistic ie angling forward or backward, moving the arms to turn, etc.
When we landed, I mentioned [...]

Things I remember about being in court:
wood
being a small child
having a chaperone
peanut butter cup
anxiety
small voice
confusion
sunlight
Mrs. Naylor
mustard yellow jacket
brown pants
a $20 bill

For our first anniversary, I told Shannon we were going away for the weekend, that I wasn’t telling him where, that I’m covering our lodging & he can cover food.

When I was a kid my bedroom was just off of the living room at the front of an old stone Victorian apartment house in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I had two walls of windows and at the foot of my bed was a glass door with a sheer curtain, as if my room had [...]

I was diggin this new theme and then realized that it’s perfect to roll out today – Friday the 13th.
I’ve got to work out some sidebar issues (hello, labels?) but I dig the colors and the rest of the design elements. This is awesome because I can spend a long time customizing colors if [...]

The word of the day is try.
Because of KindaCarsick I’m going to try to post more media to this place here.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
2/28/10 UPDATE: Looks like the woman behind that site closed it down. She WAS in grad school… I will miss her contributions (even if it might have taken me months [...]

Was in my own bed with Shan – as if I’d slept with my eyes open. Shan had a little puppy – perhaps a Jack Russell – who’s name was Watson. It was clear to me that Watson was Shan’s dog. I asked him if he was training him and he said “he likes [...]
