I have a list of post ideas sitting in front of me, right here on a Post-it, but with no real clue about when they might actually happen. In the meantime, I’m trying to get all packed up and ready to go home for Christmas. My dad apparently had to use a blowdryer on my [...]

Just received word this week that two of my photos have been chosen for the upcoming issue of Camas magazine. From the site: “Camas is a testimonial to the raw, on-the-ground power that continues to rise out of Montana. Not only is there the fine tradition of western writing rooted in this part of the [...]

I just returned from a bachelorette/bridal shower weekend with friends, one of whom shared this video on Friday night. We proceeded to watch it throughout the weekend, over and over, learning the signs and laughing at “moving my hips like yeah.” And it made me smile every time, so I contemplated sharing it here – [...]

After months of feeling the pull of wanderlust, I’m taking advantage of the Veteran’s Day holiday this week and am heading to California to see my dear friend in Berkeley. We’re going to hit up San Francisco’s Mission District for burritos, Sonoma for wine tasting, and take a drive along the California coast. We have [...]

It’s funny, because lately I’ve been coming up with ideas for posts all of the time. Funny/ironic, mostly because I’ve written so little for so long. I have this great idea brewing and then I realize that I haven’t done laundry in six weeks. And I think, “I want to sit down and write, but [...]

The saddest thing took place behind my house today. It’s been long in coming, a plan working its way through the channels of city government and urban development meetings, winding its way through all sorts of red tape. This morning, there was a house behind mine. A tiny, dilapidated house that certainly had “condemned” written [...]

It has recently come to my attention that I am obsessed with palettes. Strange, I know – especially coming from a person whose paintings are often taken for early grade school projects. Really embarrassingly bad. But a nice palette makes me giddy. I only just recently pulled together lots of my favorite things to make [...]

Hope you’ll be somewhere warm, with a cold beer in hand and some picnic food on a paper plate. I’m headed up to the lake with friends – should be fun! Happy birthday Mom! Gangsta firecrackers

With as much time as I spend online, and as much as I love everything from browsing Amazon or the NYTimes online to reading blogs on Google Reader to doing a little html/CSS editing of my own, my heart is still with paper. I’m working at a stationery shop, and I can tell you that [...]

I like writing, photography, reading, music, design, typography, paper products, days in the seventies and sparkly snow, Spanish wine and cans of PBR. I spent a year in Córdoba, Spain, working as a language and culture assistant through the Spanish government, traveling, and writing about it here. After a few years back in my home state of Montana, I moved to Austin, Texas, where I like to go exploring, take pictures of my food, write letters, dream of far-off places, and think about concepts of home.
