Simple Summertime Math
1.) this bathing suit is from my dreams 2.) this bathing suit costs $186.00. dream over. but wait… 3.) it’s too early to swim now anyway, so if i put away $1/day between now and actual swim-friendly weather, i could afford it! at first i was joking, but i might have just convinced myself…
An iris is like a snowflake. Kind of.
“Eyescapes” by Rankin -via NotCot peep this gallery. some remind me of snowflakes; or the bottom of a hot spring at yellowstone; or one of those plasma lightning balls my cousin had in ‘85. it literally makes me nauseated (in a good way - gives me butterflies then) to look at the texture and intricacies of an iris. i especially love watching someone’s pupil dilate and...

Office Party, c.1920
arriving home after my very first office christmas party; needed photographic evidence of my ensemble to show my mom, who over the phone told me that i “looked beautiful” - we laughed. (he said “ok now, it’s not the 1920’s” after he took it, but sometimes i like to think that it is… obviously.)

Keeping My Promise
the other night, i unearthed the memory that i took a night class about drawing years and years ago. it was fun to try to draw things, and so i promised myself that, whenever it’s convenient (no pressure) i would draw a thing. i harbor the tendency to be pretty ocd/perfectionist/uptight, so part of the challenge will be trying hard not to try too hard. here is my first one, at the dinner...
