Suprasensorial: Experiments in Light, Color and Space

You should go to this. I did, and I took a few pics to pique your interest. Extra awesome bonus? For the exhibit, one artist equipped a room with mattresses and pillows, and projects photos while a great soundtrack plays. Super secret snuggle spot so take someone cute. Runs through May 13th.

US Botanic Garden

Best time to visit the US Botanic Garden? Now. It's a great escape from winter, even if winter this year is oddly mild, and through the 29th of April you can see the annual orchid festival. I went, it was a treat and I took some pictures for you.

Postagram?

I am a self admitted Instagram addict. I post pictures allllllllllll the time. I do this probably for a few reasons,
1. I love photography.
2. I love all the fun filters.
3. I love the simplicity of it. Take picture, there it is...
4. My pictures are rad.

Now, what do I do with these photos that I take? I haven't done anything with them yet. I have seen a few things online about making a book -- which would be cool. Or, a calendar BUT, I have become very into POSTAGRAMING these days! What is better than getting a postcard? Getting a post card with a fun picture on it!

I KNOW!!!! SO EXCITING!!!! 

So, I have been sending Postagrams like mad. All you need to do is download the app and start sending. They are .99cents per postcard which can add up if not careful... or if not sober. But, for the most part, they are all good fun. I just sent this one to my mom to show her dogs. Yep, seriously.

let me know if you want to be postagram pals. ;)

My Faves

No matter where I move, these t-shirts follow.

FIONNA!!! The singer, not the ogre.

Ive been a bad bad girl. 

Ive been careless with a delicate man. 

And its a sad sad world

When a girl will break a boy

Just because she can. 

the beginning lines to one of my most favorite songs of all time. Fionna Apple captured my ears and strangely my music heart in my Junior year of high school year. Maybe it was her lyrics I related with, maybe because she too was a fellow female teenager,  or maybe because her songs are just so hauntingly beautiful... who knows...  But I was hooked and wore out her CD's faster than any other I owned.

Her debut album was packed with great songs, most played were Criminal and Shadow Boxer on radio waves... but for me, it was always Never Is a Promise that would still to this day be a tear jerker.

Oh Fionna, I am happy you are back. I missed your deep set almost dehydrated eyes. I missed your low enchanting voice and Ive missed songs that tell a story.

You play here in March, your tickets are REALLY expensive. (Jerk). 

Fionna in 1996. LOVED this video.

her now. glad to see she filled out a bit.

Happy Birthday, DFW

One of my favorite writers would have been 50 years old today.

“Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted and relieved. Drugs, movies where stuff blows up, loud parties -- all these chase away loneliness by making me forget my name's Dave and I live in a one-by-one box of bone no other party can penetrate or know. Fiction, poetry, music, really deep serious sex, and, in various ways, religion -- these are the places (for me) where loneliness is countenanced, stared down, transfigured, treated.” ― David Foster Wallace


“The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.” ― David Foster Wallace, This Is Water

Thought I Forgot About You?

Never. I'm like an elephant. Just had my head in the clouds.

This is what it sounds like up there:
