April is the month of Nostalgia
We were watching Objectified the other night. It’s a documentary about the everyday things we use in life, and the future of design. I really enjoyed it, in part for its focus on quotidian items and the thought that goes into them. It made me think of all the things [Read More]
A Hunger Games conversation
Heh. SPOILER AHEAD. …Sometimes, marketing goes terribly awry. Still, the nail colors sported by those peeps in the Capitol sure were sparkly. [Read More]
Random gorgeousness
So. Paula Stanton, who made my wedding dress, also made this recently. I saw it and wanted to Pinterest it, but Pinterest is being cranky and won’t let me. So I’m posting it here. So I can pin it. So THERE. You can find Paula on Etsy at Very Tres Chic. And front [Read More]
Holy caca
I have an incredible backlog of posts to write, but I’m at SeaTac now, and my brain is still buzzing buzzing with ideas and MFA stuff. I’m waiting for my usual lovely 11:36 PM flight to Dulles and then home to HPN, and I’m thankful for the extra time to [Read More]
In Which I Prove I am a Crafty B**ch
Well, not really. It’s just that this week has been alarmingly stressful. Between the jetlag (an average of four hours of sleep a night does not make for a happy girl), a burgeoning cold, very little exercise, and one very cranky, mostly former client, this person was [Read More]
A New Way of Seeing
Wow, am I cranky. Peeps, I am so cranky I can hardly believe it. I think I would be lying if I said I don’t know why, so I’ll just try to talk you through it. 1. I am scheduled to do a half-marathon on trail October 2. That’s this weekend, and I have been [Read More]
A Lot Happens in a Month
…Although, really, it’s been a month and a half. This is the first time I’ve ever blogged from my iPad, although I’ve had one now since February. I think I imagined myself doing a lot more in terms of blogging while mobile, especially given all of [Read More]
The long road home
Ooh, but it’s felt like a very long time since I’ve had time to sit about and do nothing. First there was a trip to DC to help move my brother and his wife into their lovely new home in Washington, DC. Then there was a week-long trip to Wisconsin and Chicago to [Read More]
White Plains at Night
I like photography a lot. When I have a visual record of things, I feel much more complete. Because I’m a writer professionally, I sometimes feel confined to my chosen medium, so it’s nice to step out of it some days. On my way home from a day in the city the [Read More]
Kickstart My Heart
Last night, one of the students in the class I’m teaching on the essay wrote about one of the moments that she’ll never forget in her life. She relived the two days leading up to her wedding, and how special they were, in part because of her father’s [Read More]
