*INSYNC

I noticed today that my iGoogle Tiger and I have the same schedule.
I wake up in the morning, and I say, “Hello Tiger.”

Tiger yawns and says, “Hello Nickie.”
We eat breakfast, go about some business, work in our respective worlds. Round lunchtime I’m ready to go eat some lunch, and Tiger has beat me to the [...]

Crossing the Bridge

I am just blown away. Not only by Aynur above, who described being banned from singing in her native language as “it got complicated” and yet she smiles, but the entire film Crossing the Bridge by Fatih Akin (whom I love from his other film Head-On). Check out the film website, [...]

Water Dust

It’s snooooowww! I’m excited! Love watching it accumulate on the branches of trees especially. It’s so fluffy and annoying when it get’s in your eye, yay! Here’s the traffic cam north of town; shows how ridiculous I am for getting excited over this dusting. So California
Don’t know at this point whether or not [...]

Geography of Time and Travel

Some place names are just so evocative:
Wild Horse Opening
McDuffy Opening
Saurkraut Gulch
Three Chop Ridge
Poverty Gulch
Devil’s Nest
I can tell you where, in what section, township and range, but I can’t tell you why.
I can tell you possibly.
I could spin you a yarn of the felling capabilities of my ax on top of that piece of earth or [...]

For When You Need Beautiful Things

I’m glad for the perfection of water.

A brilliant red madrone.

There’s no orange like a newt belly. And no keeping em still

And a shooting star in the daylight.
On a side note, my record player sounds like it has firecrackers in it. To fix or to get a newbie…

Friday Night is for Skaters

Tried inline skates for the first time last night (I didn’t miss the 80’s, we just couldn’t afford some of em); that was a different beast from the quads. The gliding and power and dance potential is better on inlines, but the balance is different. Would have ate it on the Hokey Pokey if it [...]

Velouria

I woke up before the alarm this morning. This rarely happens.
I lay in bed listening to the rain.
My current dream Older Self was living with past Younger Self. We were occupying a room at the middle school down the street from where I currently live; it’s disrepair reminded me of the house on Apple St.
Young [...]

A Fine Day

Chris mentioned a blog code, trying to write everyday, and I am endeavoring to do so. Kick my sloth’s ass.
So today has been a fine day. Very fine. Here’s why:
1. Received my student loan check! That pup is gonna pay off my credit card, yee-ah!.
2. Finished the scarf! Here it is:

YouTube is probably the best [...]

Primer Dia

<rambling>
Today saw the official start of my second semester. I’m oscillating between being super excited and raring to go with oh gaaaaaawwwwwd kill me now. The best piece of news thus far is an awesome gal from last semester is in one of my classes so yay! It’s the little things that make completely online [...]

Vintage Reproductions

Pretty dresses, pretty weather, and pretty ladies = one spectacular day!

Twirl together

I really like how these out of focus or rather a different focus of these pictures came out. I’m gonna play with that some more!

To eat or not to eat

Even a natural glint in my eye

Stars!

I think this ones my fave, I [...]
