1.2 // A balmy -4 degrees calls for some fur

The wind woke me up this morning at 8:30. Not because it was blowing outside (though it was, harsh and whippy and freezing and sounding very much like winter), but because a few icy wisps were streaking through the minute crack between the bottom of the window and the sill. I had to crawl out [...]

01.01.10 // twentyten

Happy new year, everyone! Today’s date is 22 in binary, which is the first thing I thought when I woke up at the late late hour (for me) of ten a.m. after going to sleep at four. That’s a crazy sleeping schedule for me, because I’m lame.  :P
Had some cranberry bubbliness en lieu of actual [...]

12.24 // superbly slow and cosy christmas eve

Enjoying a wonderfully laid-back, comatose, close-knit-feeling Christmas eve… dinner was like Thanksgiving Round II – turkey + all the works… and I’ve just been lounging about with The Bourne Identity (the book, that is) and the occasional Ande’s mint. Delicious.
My parents – ahem, Santa – got an early start on the presents, so they’re under [...]

12.23 // warning: cookie-baking may harm feet, hands, other appendages.

Like many people, I look fondly back on Christmases past, then Christmases of innocent childhood wonder at all things snow-and-Santa related. Christmas morning was the epitome of magical wonder: suddenly, there was a mountain – an absolute mountain – of shiny, be-bowed presents just waiting to be unwrapped. The stockings: filled with a ridiculous amount [...]

12.20 // le noel nous approche…

So today we went to get our christmas tree. Finally. After driving 20 minutes, we pulled up to the little side road place where we always get our tree. The sign said: “Closed. Out of Trees.” My dad’s reaction: “Closed? What the hell?”
Merry Christmas, boys and girls!
So we went to this other place and pulled [...]

12.18 // 5 inch heels and satanic rituals

Just got back from my first foray into the world of music photography… it was the school’s annual Battle of the Bands… aka, who can be the loudest AND have the most distortion. Actual musical talent not necessarily required. Half the bands were of the unskilled screamo variety; two were your run-of-the-mill singing guy, screaming [...]

12.14 // birthday… drizzle?

Yes, just a boring words post…
I’ve been utterly, sadly lacking in posting… there’s just no time. School, running + abs, shower, dinner, homework, sleep, with maybe a little bit of reading in there somewhere. Life is ridiculous, n’est-ce pas? Mais c’est la vie… donc, q’est-ce que tu peux fais?
The weather today was depressingly dismal, and [...]

12.09 // the cold dark months are closing in…

Ugh. It’s reached that unbearable point in December – the wind is howling around outside at about 50 mph, creaking my windows and whipping the last few desperately clinging leaves off the trees. All throughout today, it’s been alternating between a disgusting slushy rain and icy flakes that have yet to stick to the ground [...]

11.25 // backstage & cast party photos

So Saturday was one of the cast parties for after the second-to-last show of Midsummer Night’s Dream… I was invited to crash…

His makeup was sooo sweet!

My little brother as a (very Monty Python-esque) woman for the play-within-a-play (Pyramis and Thisbe). Word on the street is that he totally stole the show… which he did. (He [...]

11.25 // life with cookies

An interesting point came up a few days ago (while I was complaining about my skin, which tends to get red and shiny after a while, to my despair. Even if I wear concealer, which I usually don’t do). That point was that my friends K and K both came to the conclusion that I [...]
