hi everyone, I decided to switch over to another wordpress domain. Since I don’t write for The Phoenix anymore I don’t really see too much reason to keep my name as The Swatorialist. An...
I made the best choice I could possibly make yesterday and dragged myself out of bed to make it down to the southern coast of Amager, to a little town called Dragør. I just couldn’t waste what...
soft focus is so pretty. this may cause me to start another round of listening to this song on repeat. from liebemarlene vintage.
few days old now, directed by avey tare’s little sister abby portner. this song makes me long for summertime.
I never realized how sad the lyrics to that song were until I listened to one of their greatest hits albums on repeat this summer. Perfectly depressing lo-fi sound quality on my little cardboard toy...
most of the pictures I took while in Grenoble were actually from the bus ride from Lyon airport into town. Within one hour I took over a hundred photos, which is a lot for me…I think the peopl...
Prague (Praha), the city of Kafka where food is cheap enough to get double-brunches and cute little dogs roam the streets but almost no bikes in sight where jethro tull may still be popular? at least...
she said, I’ll wait for you, I’ll wait for you… back in Copenhagen, starting to feel sick, these slim hours of daylight are disorienting me.
I’m done with traveling. Going back on the first plane from Prague to Copenhagen tomorrow. I can’t wait to go back. If I could use the title “what goes up surely must come down...
assorted pictures from the past week. a random lunch at Kalaset inNørrebro: it finally looks like autumn here, even though it’s been cold for so long now… no more rosy gardens no more cra...
photos from saturday’s 350 global climate day of action. it was a longgg day, but worth it…the photos came out great in the end and made New York Times front page (website) news! among to...
tallinn stockholm disposable cameras, 35mm, iso 200 I want to sleep from now until Tuesday night.
my life has been all over the place recently. like making onion tarts at 2AM. and doodling during lectures (with my left hand). I lost my camera, but was lucky enough to get it back this week. It was...
I rode my bike home from central Copenhagen during sunset while listening to Beach House. It was lovely. I can’t wait to get my camera back. Currently doing everything I can think of to procra...
I wish I had brought my copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to Copenhagen with me.
to get my head straight. not really in the blogging mood…maybe when I get my pictures developed from Tallinn/Stockholm. (link)
Off to Tallinn, Estonia and Stockholm, Sweden tomorrow. Be back in a week…
I was looking through photos on my computer, and came across these, from over 4 years ago when I first visited Swarthmore and decided I wanted to apply there…crazy that it’s been that lon...
Today is the last day of September, ahhhh! Hence why I had a freakout two days ago about travel plans for my two-week break in early November. I’ve got it all figured out now, but I’ll ...
Today was a dreary, somewhat cold, and rainy day. I woke up at 6AM but fell asleep resetting my alarm for 6:30AM with my cell phone in hand. I’m shocked that it happened. As a result I woke ...
After a high-energy weekend seeing/experiencing Sebastian at Vega on Friday night, and then celebrating Christiania’s birthday (that place is UNREAL in the best way possible) on Saturday night,...
While I like having a very manageable closet because I had such a limited number of clothes I could pack, I miss the variety that I normally have back at home… This is about half of the dresses...
I wore three of my favorite vintage items today. I feel like I’ve worn this combination lots of times before, but only because it’s so easy and comfortable! dress – vintage rampage...
(link) The shirt is Jil Sander, isn’t it perfect? All of these pieces could veer into really bad 90s mom territory, but somehow the way she wears them makes them perfectly chic and utilitarian...
So after that all that hullabaloo of a good weekend + Monday, I had quite a horrendous Tuesday. I got a fine this morning on the bus because I didn’t have the right zones on my transportation ...
Yesterday I spent the afternoon as a part of the Mr. Green core volunteer group for the climate flashmob. We danced down the street from Nørrebro all the way to Rådhuspladsen, with a completely C02 n...
I spent this past weekend on the tiny island of Samsø, famous for being 100% sustainable (and actually having a surplus of energy). We got there by train and ferry. The stars at night were overwhelmi...
sorry for the slowdown in updates, I’ve been sick but also non-stop doing things. I spent about six hours at practicum today, and I know all I’ve been saying about the Danish education s...
The Daughters of the Moon was published in The New Yorker on my birthday. My nail polish has been chipping. I might try some tiffany blue-green next. Here’s what I wore today: t-shirt – ...
