a weekly collection of things i do not wish to forget Your dear cousin and you singing “Livin’ On a Prayer” all day long, through the hallways of work. The extreme desire for the floor to open up and swallow you whole. You’ve never wanted to wish a pair of ankles good luck before in [...]

Written Form :: Dean & Carter a brief moment in time with our protagonists “Why did you leave Italy?” It was the middle of the night and Carter at him with wide, open eyes. Eyes that were hazel in the florescents of the LaundroKing as Carter leaned over the counter and looked up at Dean. [...]

on how fashion is one of the many manifestations of my falsified worlds A few weeks back someone asked me Oh, so you write? When I nodded, this someone nodded in return and said That explains your clothes. My hair was a rat’s nest and I had on my long multifabriced tier skirt and a [...]

One is Never Enough I did it again. Over the past week I have been using the Stereoport/Eastern Undercurrent sketchbooks with a lot of success.

With scrapping parties and a Circut machine and pages upon pages of my children’s soccer games. That’s not to say I can’t take up scrapbooking now, but it would be all photographs of [...]

On James Bond and why I can’t give a decent review of “Inception“ Inception: Joseph Gordon Levitt wears a bunch of amazing suits and looks absolutely stellar while a bunch of fantastic storycrafting is taking place around him, but when asked, all I can say is Did you see that shot of his suspenders at [...]

My brain doesn’t shut off. It’s an anxious thing, creating stories from nothing, making a fake life I am living in tandem with the one I am living in now. It holds my hand, it gives me love, it gives me a new home, it gives me a new place to imagine living in. It [...]

on a life of too much soccer and not enough art Inspiration is a funny thing. I’ve spent the last month lost in the haze of the World Cup. Before this, I haven’t seen a soccer game since I stayed home from work one day and found an English soccer match on television and watched [...]
