I spent a large chunk of my childhood in the passenger seat of my parents’ car playing navigator while my mom dragged the two of us around the state to various photo ops. So I’ve seen just about every waterfall we’ve got, know all sorts of random and weird facts about all sorts of obscure [...]
Like many young women in my age bracket, I harbor Design*Sponge-fueled delusions of housewife grandeur.
This sort of thing, these “image dumps” as I call them, they’re kind of a trend these days. Tumblr’s apparently where it’s at.

I haven’t made anything new worth talking about yet, and I’m getting sick of putting us through this constant reflection and rehashing of why I can’t make good art. So, not much to write about. That said, here comes another 1100 words about nothing much.
The entries from this summer reflect the huge artistic upheaval [...]

So my new downstairs neighbor is a first year. And also my co-worker, as he’s LB’s new project assistant.
And I’m only putting that here because I knew in May, when my landlord started advertising about the studio apartment for rent directly below me, that it was going to be that way. I debated putting [...]
I will try to keep this short (ha!), as I’ve managed to convince myself that tonight is the night I will clean my kitchen. Not a small feat. It’s disgusting and I am barely a human being for living like this. I don’t know how I let it get this bad, seriously. The next time [...]
My good friend and I have this obsession with the local co-op, because it is so much more than a grocery store. In this neighborhood, the co-op is religion, and sometimes we go to temple more than once a day. Sometimes we meet for coffee in the morning before shit gets crazy, and when this [...]
