Psychic Chasms.

This new cd by Neon Indian is perfect winter break music.

I was so excited when I saw the amazon box yesterday. This book has the most amazing images.

If you are going to paint

you might as well do it in a feathered frock.

William Steig.

Fire Fire Everywhere.

These posters were designed to raise money for the victims of the southern california wildfires back in 2007. They are very appropriate since so cal is experiencing another terrible bout of fires. I was supposed to start school tomorrow but it was canceled due to Art Center's proximity to where the fires are happening. So sad. I hope they stop soon.

Twin Palms.

one of my favorite vogue spreads ever

Caran D'Ache

These pens are so simple and come in all sorts of lovely hues. I can't believe I have orientation in less than a week!

soaking up my last days of summer...

Art Center Bound.

I just found out today that I got into Art Center!

I want to be here...

For Lunch.

For lunch today I ate a delicious bowl of gazpacho that I made.

ReDo.

I kept getting really frustrated because all my photos were looking really lackluster when I uploaded them. I finally figured out the problem so I fixed a bunch of pictures (mostly ones from my travels) so you can now see them in all their glory. Below are my images from my recent (I just got back Saturday night) family pilgrimage down to Nicaragua to connect to our roots. We got to see the house where my grandmother was born which was so cool. We had such a great time exploring, surfing, sailing, beaching, and chilling though I ate way too much gallo pinto con pico de gallo and what else is new- watermelon. The only rough part was when a terrifying monkey came a little too close to me and I sort of had a panic attack. I chose not to post any pictures of the devil monkey our boat man called Lucy because I don't want to inflict the trauma I experienced on anyone else.

Nicaragua.

Back.

I am back from NYC. I had the most wonderful month in the city. I absolutely loved my program at Parsons. I met so many lovely people and enjoyed all of my graphic design assignments. I am a little sad to be away from the city but I will be well distracted when I go to Nicaragua on Monday. I am quite the jet setter these days. I was even bumped up to business class today on my flight from NY to LA.

Perfect Sunday.

Yesterday I went to see (500) Days of Summer, a cute cliched example of an indie movie (odd vingettes, cool music scenes, architect wannabe, Zooey D. dressing the same, acting the same, singing the same etc). Afterwards I had a delicous sweet corn frozen custard. It was my idea of a perfect Sunday afternoon. I also had a fantastic day with Cordelia on Saturday. We went to a flea market located in a parking structure and joined the urban beach party at P.S. 1. All in all a lovely weekend.
