stay golden, ponyboy.

Isn't it weird when you have to do a double take when you see yourself in the mirror? Or you just have to stare at yourself because everything looks all out of sorts. Iona is right...why can't we start old and get younger?? Iona is genius ♥

Can't wait!

we meet again

my insomnia is back - like a ghost that just keeps haunting me. it's such a ridiculous part of my psychographic composition now that i'm not entirely sure if i don't actually need it in some way.

maybe a new bed...a new apartment...a new city...country...life.

think pink

recently i've been enjoying a pink renaissance.

absolutely inspired by my new benefit "bella bamba" blush & my vintage gooseberry pyrex refrigerator dishes.
love it!

days like this

i miss my best friend in london. i miss being in school. i miss being bone-y. i miss working in downtown san francisco (not that working at Cal, in Tilden no less, isn't lovely), i miss having a reason to visit my hometown. i miss having a fireplace. i miss having free time. i miss dance class.


i love the king's speech. i love my new coats. i love my new business cards. i love my new teapot. i love telling friend's embarrassing stories about myself (hopefully i make other feel less embarrassed and more amused by their own ridiculous missteps through my own silly & cringe-worthy shenanigans), i love finding new old bands, i love all my vintage pyrex finds.

don't put another dime in the jukebox

a bit maudlin...but true enough. actually not a bad thing really.

PS. there are no kindred spirits in my new workplace.
once i'm settled in it's going to be time to find a better fit elsewhere.
(why am i so capricious!!)

home! sweet (ish) home!

a full week with extended family... i'm spent.

i wanted it to be perfect - a full hollywood production (with great editing & magical score).

it wasn't. but it was real and occasionally fun ♥

Beyond Golden Clouds:
Five Centuries of Japanese Screens
