Yesterday, I was uploading and tagging some photos on Flickr when all of a sudden the site reloaded, and POOF! There was a message on the top telling me to smile, which I always find a little...
Six years ago, as I was preparing to move back to Spain, I wanted a means of communicating with people at home, of sharing photos, something beyond group emails. And so I decided, hesitantly, to...
After quite a few months of internship applications, and reconsidering whether or not I wanted to just spend the summer sizzling in Austin, and waiting, waiting, waiting to hear back, I finally got...
The semester’s end is a moving goalpost: as soon as I think I can reach it, it slides juuuust out of reach. In the meantime, I am ticking away boxes on my ever-growing academic and otherwise to do...
It’s that time of year again. Last year, I spent my tax refund on the Adobe Creative Suite. This year, after a whole lot of research, I finally decided to bite the bullet and use my tax refund to...
+ Pete Goldlust’s Carved Crayons series. + My Brita water bottle. I own about twenty water bottles. This one is not especially attractive. I sort of wish it wasn’t a squeeze bottle. But I’m...
III Spring is like a perhaps hand (which comes carefully out of Nowhere)arranging a window,into which people look(while people stare arranging and changing placing carefully there a strange thing...
Whoops, sorry. Got a day behind. Too busy watching Season 2 of The Killing on Netflix. Detective Sarah Linden is a total (redheaded) badass. If you haven’t seen it, do. (photo from here. warning:...
I’ve spent the last couple of days trying to sneak in some SXSW music (and have been mildly successful), which has led me to download some new music and add some new bands on Spotify for the first...
Note to every dentist I’ve ever had: “The reason we studied redheads in the beginning, it was essentially an urban legend in the anesthesia community saying redheads were difficult to anesthetize,”...
I so want to rock this look. (Photo from here)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gMq3hRLDD0 Cosmic Love (live on KEXP) Such a beautiful video, such a beautiful voice. And I can’t help but notice her super intense red hair, either… I try not to...
Yes, that’s right. It’s Redhead Appreciation Week here on ECM. For those who believe the question “do you prefer blondes or brunettes?” is sorely lacking. For those of us who require more...
Well, it’s official: SXSW has started. It seems like one of those things that you either hear A LOT about or not much at all. I was sort of surprised when a friend responded “What’s that?” last...
I’m back for the third and final installment of finally posting photos from and remembering my most recent vacation in Spain (which, for those who are paying attention, did actually take place over...
Back for another installment (here’s part 1 for the backstory). After a day in Madrid with friends, it was time for the next stop of the whirlwind tour. I headed to Barcelona to meet up with two of...
I may have a future as an archivist after all, since apparently I’ve gotten more comfortable with always having a backlog I just keep slogging through. By this I mean, I’ve caught up on Flickr...
+ That the top offers on the Groupon “Be Healthy” emails are always for Botox. + This bloopers video from The Office: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDNYLhr4o7w + Harry & David Moose Munch. Also...
“Make your home as comfortable and attractive as possible and then get on with living. There’s more to life than decorating.” —Albert Hadley After all of the drama and exhaustion of my move in...
I’m back in my old town for a couple of nights, the place where I lived off and on (but mostly on) for a decade prior to moving to Texas. I was looking forward to seeing some friends here,...
It’s been a slog, these last few weeks of the semester. I pulled an all-nighter for the first time in, oh, a decade or so. I did a couple of presentations and wrote 35 pages of papers and wrapped...
I have never compiled a bucket list, or a 30 before 30 list (though I’m thinking about it, with thirty a little more than a year away!) But, even without formal list making, our little life lists...
Hard to believe I’ve been in Austin over three months. Things have been pretty quiet around here, largely because being back in school turns out to be pretty time consuming. I’m so busy printing...
Calling out to you, internet. Two of my dear friends, going back to high school and beyond, had a baby girl a few weeks ago. They named her Matilda Mary, and she joined her adorable big brother...
Perhaps not surprisingly, seeing as how my name is Emily Elizabeth, I was a fan of the Clifford books growing up. This year, he turns 50! There’s something so special for a kid about seeing his or...
Last Friday night, I went to the opening of Futureland, the new exhibit on Norman Bel Geddes at the Harry Ransom Center on campus. Bel Geddes was an industrial designer, set designer, all around...
It’s official. I’m back in school mode (or at least desperately trying to be). I’ve been sick for the last week, a weird mix of symptoms that seems to change everyday. Every morning there’s a new...
Same old, same old: too many thoughts, too little time (or maybe just focus?) so I thought I’d take a tip from Dani at Sometimes Sweet and attempt a Currently post. Reply in comments and tell me...
I’m sitting in a very crowded Starbucks in Austin, watching the rain pour outside the windows. This is not the kind of midday rain I’m accustomed to. But then again, the last week or so has been...
“There are many dramas inherent to relocation via the highway: the tears triggered by a country song, the weird free fall of registering at a motel and not knowing your address, the exhilarating...
