It’s the freaking weekend

…baby, I’m about to have me some fun. (thanks for that, R. Kelly) It’s raining and chilly here. Go figure. I’ve spent the day thus far under the covers, finishing the third Hu...

Backtracking for beauty

Something you lose in being mobile, a new city or even just a new neighborhood every couple of years, is the ability to judge the passage of time based on a handful of constants. My short walk to wor...

Recently

+ The Moveable Type Truck made a stop in town two Fridays ago for just a couple of hours. My sister and I hustled down there to meet Kyle on the tail end of her ten month tour of the U.S. We were luc...

Making my move

After months of wanting to talk about this, of feeling like I was always holding back something I was dying to discuss, I can finally share what’s been so central in my life in the past few mon...

Dances with the daffodils

For oft, when on my couch I lie           In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye           &n...

On super clean showers and having beautiful days

I mentioned in my last post that I spent last Thursday, International Women’s Day, at a showing of Miss Representation. And it was interesting. Shocking at times. Thought provoking. Afterwards,...

This week

» Sunday was my birthday. Great sushi, friends and family in town, and lots of fun presents. I’m finally the owner of a pair of TOMS (the Carpe Diem style), a present from my mom. Just in time ...

Fairfield (not far from Freezeout Lake)

Fairfield “A guy I used to know — he taught me all about the sky.” Humphrey Bogart in High Sierra I wanted it depressed, one dusty road and two cafés both with ‘help wanted’ s...

post-Valentine’s Day thoughts

Valentine’s Day was never a personal favorite. I thought that my grandma dying on February 14th last year would seal the deal and make it a sad occasion each year. But, in fact, the opposite ha...

the joy of books

Three of my favorite things: books, stop-motion animation, and color coding. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =SKVcQnyEIT8

thank you, state tax refund

My tax refund was paltry, once again (I think something was jacked up on my W4 and I never realized it…hoping for a bit more of a payday next year). But since it was so small, I felt 100% justi...

Domino?!

I know this is going to be all over the design blogs, since peeps are still obsessed with Domino almost 3 years to the date when it printed its last issue. But I don’t care. Nothing even close ...

I got 99 problems but a blog ain’t one

(yep, I went there.) Somehow, I managed to post 99 times in 2011. That’s kind of incredible to me. And I spent most of the time thinking that I wasn’t getting around to posting often enou...

Singing solo in a crowd

Tonight, I went to a concert. By myself. And it was really wonderful. Many summers ago, my dear friend had a mix among his many burned CD mixes called “My Martin.” I burned it, tacking on...

A new view (new specs!)

In the past couple of years, I’ve basically become a glasses girl. I didn’t get glasses until high school, even though I started failing eye exams much earlier (and hiding the results fro...

A new year, a new word

Hope 2012 is treating you well thus far. Did you buy a new calendar? I’m still contemplating my options, but would love hearing which ones others chose. I thought about skipping a calendar this...

Why I may never leave the couch again

Like everyone in America, I’ve been pretty annoyed with Netflix this year. They provide a great service, yes, and I’ve discovered all sorts of movies thanks to their crazy algorithm (wait...

January is my favorite magazine month

I feel like I have so much I want to tell you! It’s been hard to decide where to begin. This sort of echoes my general, near-constant state of attempting to “catch up,” but seeing a...

Taking a color poll

So I have this huge mirror: My mom bought it for me. I’m a big fan. It needs a little more crack-filling and a fair amount of sanding. Then comes the fun part: painting. It’s been sitting...

Why I’m Here

This reminded me of the story of how my grandparents met. There is a certain degree of randomness in all of our lives. Little choices that add up to the path one takes, even without realizing. “...

Lighting up the dark

Whenever I come home from seeing my friend Anna, which isn’t all that often as she’s typically living in Sweden or Spain, I come back and have found new ways to I emulate her. She’s...

An unthemed update (time to catch up)

  I’m sitting in my living room, listening to “Linus and Lucy” for one of the first times this season, a little transfixed by the Christmas tree, finally decorated. It’s ...

Sometimes the world is startlingly beautiful

Updates, post-Spain

I’m back. I’m jetlagged still, sorta. Or maybe coming down with a cold? Whatever – falling asleep at 9 pm is not my norm. So much swirling in my head so I’m not quite ready fo...

Keep in touch

When I lie in bed in the morning, listening to NPR and all of the depressing news about the Postal Service, about closing offices, no Saturday delivery, that people just don’t use the mail the ...

Whatever happened to romantic comedies?

For whatever reason, this has been a weekend when people have commented on the movies on my bookshelf. Although my Netflix queue is fairly diverse, the movies I own are the kinds of movies I’d ...

Happy Friday, feminists

I actually met him way back when while he was filming The Slaughter Rule in my hometown. He’s gotten hotter. And the feminism helps, along with his dog. (From Feminist Ryan Gosling, the funnies...

Random acts of kindness

Even in the haze of all of the stuff going on, even as I’m feeling snippy and kinda cranky and worn down, I’ve been stopped in my ever-hastening tracks by truly lovely acts over the last ...

On being brave

I recently attended a poetry reading as part of the Montana Festival of the Book. To be honest, the poet I most wanted to see, a former professor of mine, wasn’t there and initially I felt sort...
