Hey Girl

Whoa. I am sooo bad at getting my picture taken. Must. be. still. must. not. be. awkward. WHAT DO I NORMALLY DO WITH MY ARMS?!

Anyway… the pretty girl photos are from Harpers Bazaar, Hong Kong via Le Fashion.

Open Water

I need some lake as soon as possible. A nice quiet one please. With a few friends in it.

Not Quite Spring

1. I am currently obsessed with: Beautiful ladies. It’s easier to stare at a beautiful lady than to stare at a beautiful man, and oh my goodness there are so many beautiful ladies in my city.

2. Today I am: Feeling ghostly.

3. The age I am is: 22, and the age I feel is: Changing… mostly I feel 19, but sometimes I feel 45 and then the other day I went bowling and shared a super lightweight ball with a granny and I felt 65.

4. My favourite place is: transient. No one place can hold my attention or provide enough of something good to really be my favourite place. Maybe my favourite places are the ones I’m dreaming about visiting because in my head they are everything I’m looking for and are full of cheap food and great light.

5. Something I have been procrastinating is: Applying for jobs. I need a new one.

6. The last thing I purchased was: Food and snacks to keep at work for the week. Yesterday was the best lunch ever, dill and lemon tuna on spring mix leaves. It’s great working close to a grocery store.

7. The thing I love most about my home is: the light that comes into my bedroom through the wall of windows. It’s also a great place to people watch because there are wide wooden ledges to sit on and a hundred strangers always passing by. I like the ‘whooshing’ of the huge curtains opening and closing when I pull on the curtain cords. I like my gas stove that is the heart of so many delicious things.

Cute?

Sweater shorts…hmmm

Holiday Alternatives

This is a really neat ‘tree’. I don’t like the idea that you NEED a ‘real’ tree… I don’t like the idea that you NEED to BUY decorations. I don’t like the idea of HAVING to do ANYTHING. But this is a neat, awesome, romantic DIY compromise. Photo via Design for Mankind.

Late for Work

But this song will be played at least twice more before I leave. Got to have that morning dance-and-get-ready some days.

Happy Monday. The Dog Days are Over – Florence and the Machine.

Nice Mice

Just want to hold them and squish them and make them be mine. You might forget one or two in your pocket and then on a really bad day you reach in to grab your metro pass and get a handful of aw instead. Cuties found at Sarah McNeil’s flickr.

Abode

I hope my next apartment looks like this bright studio/y space. But with a much larger, squishier, nap-inducing couch and a bit more ‘warmth’. I would really like an area that helps me focus on making art, though my whole home would be filled with things of inspiration. Images by Dan Backman, found via Lolita.
