cover shot

'tis mine. shot it ages ago, and the issue finally came out this week. could only find this small image of it online, but you get the general idea.




yay!

til my trophies at last i lay down

dwight singing a bit of "old rugged cross"- a personal favorite.

cracks me up how he's singing along so beautifully, so moving, and then he just stops and goes on with what he was saying before. but it's still just so gorgeous.

the curmudgeon

spent a perfect sunny afternoon at the zoo yesterday, with a certain lovely somebody.

this gorilla, whom i've yet to name, was my favorite.

an evening climb

There was a lunar eclipse tonight, so Troy and I made a little trip up to the rooftop (our very very steep rooftop, along the lines of the ones you see across the way) to take some snapshots. I was a little nervous in the climb, but I conquered my fear, and the view was worth it. The moon in the picture doesn't exactly look eclipsed, but it was. You'll have to take me at my word on this one.

all i want

joni said it best:

i am on a lonely road, and i am traveling
traveling, traveling, traveling
looking for something, what can it be
oh i hate you some, i hate you some
i love you some
oh i love you when i forget about me
i want to be strong
i want to laugh along
i want to belong to the living
alive alive, i want to get up and jive
want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive
do you want, do you want, do you want
to dance with me baby
do you want to take a chance on
maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby
well, come on

all i really really want our love to do
is to bring out the best in me and you too
all i really really want our love to do
is to bring out the best in me and you
i want to talk to you
i want to shampoo you
i want to renew you, again and again
applause, applause - life is our cause
when i think of your kisses
my mind see-saws
do you see, do you see, do you see
how you hurt me baby
so i hurt you too
then we both get so blue

i am on a lonely road and i am traveling
looking for the key to set me free
oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
it's the unraveling
and it undoes all the joy that could be
i want to have fun
i want to shine like the sun
i want to be the one that you want to see
i want to knit you a sweater
i want to write you a love letter
i want to make you feel better
i want to make you feel free
hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm,
want to make you feel free
i want to make you feel free

a sunny day at the market

Went to the Ballard Farmer's Market for the first time today. It was the most gorgeous day imaginable. Sunny but cold. Bought fresh baked sourdough, yummy cheeses, and apples. And ate a lemon sugar crepe while listening to a bluegrass band called The Tallboys. Couldn't ask for more.

(in honor of this week's day of love, and the fact that i happened upon my old schott's miscellany)

so easily i fall.

(sigh)

how do morning people do it?

Seriously, this is the first time I've been up before 7 am in ages, and I feel like I could fall right over. But I start my new photo job today, so I'm stoked.

why my mom is awesome:

I got a card from her today, a singing card, with Lucy and Ethel on the front and the song "Friendship" on the inside. Wishing me a happy un-birthday (the "un" portion, of course, being written in by hand) and telling me how much she values my friendship and believes in me. And there was also a $20 bill slipped in there, with a note telling me to treat myself to some good coffee or a nice glass of wine.

Hence, my mother rules.

making me smile on a tuesday morning

i LOVE carol burnett. and julie's quite wonderful too.

"you just got a subscription for love"

no joke, this was in the email i just received welcoming me to match.com

so, yeah, i have a one-month subscription. it was entirely against my better judgment, but i figured it should be good for some laughs and some stories, if nothing else. honestly, the quote above is almost worth the cost. plus, my roommate is doing it too, so we can endure it together.

anyway, i'll be sure to share any horror stories. =)

I'm intriqued by it. Here are some favorites:
