Rodin



I think the Rodin exhibit opened this week. I hope they have some of 
camille claudel's pieces, too (i secretly like some of them better anyway).
Anyone want to go with me?

go fly a kite

so sunday we had a picnic
It was sort of cloudy, but it never rained



there was tons of food 


and wine and mimosas




we had fortune cookies




and sunflowers





and soccer





Ricky tried to steal my hair



Mael apparently went to clown school? and Richard, well he's just Scottish 



There were piggy back rides




new friends



and old loves



I guess you could say it was a pretty nice day

I hate

when winter pretends it's autumn and my nose pretends it's better
until a cold rain reminds it that I'm sick again.

Imissyou



Thanks to lelove for posting this image!
It's been the background on my mac for over a year now. paperheart has lots 
of other great images, but this one is my favourite for certain reasons.

reassurance

thank God it's finally over

 


He still doesn't understand. I almost feel bad for him.  His excuses and explanations were almost comical in the tragic way that only Bush can pull off. He shouldn't have even tried to make the excuses and just given an apology. We deserve at least that after the past eight years.

So this is the new year...

Three deaths that I know of so far this year.  I went to church yesterday and cried, don't know if it was more for those who died or for my own fears of death and of a fleeting life.  Lately, its like I'm grasping at the life I once had and always falling short. My new years resolution is to be better, and to be ready, and to appreciate every breath.

Hiatus

Style is the answer to everything. A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing. To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it.Charles Bukowski

gifts

it's been a while since I've updated this I suppose, but Christmas was pretty good to me:


I went to just about every bike shop in new orleans and baton rouge before I found one that i actually liked, but i think this one is perfect for me. I got a detachable basket that goes on the front, too. It makes me wish i lived off magazine so I could use the basket for grocery shopping.


I couldn't believe that matt knew that I wanted this. I've missed my Holga ever since I lost it. 
I can't wait to break the new one in.


I painted these for my godson. I think they came out kind of cute. 
Did you know the name for octopus in french is "le poulpe"? sounds funny, but then again, so does octopus.


I think we may have a belated Christmas party sometime next week. 
I'm still not ready for the holidays to be over.
