Trip to the Institute of Contemporary Art

The ICA is really beautiful. Modern Art isn’t my favorite. My threshold for abstractionism is set at a very specific level. Anything beyond that and I just gloss over, feeling violated and uneasy, whispering cuss words under my breath. Also one piece was literally a sofa and a steel chair placed upside-down. Deep. I found…

Winter Solstice

I’m so glad the days are getting longer now. Thinking about daylight shrinking just makes me so sad. This is what 2 O’clock looks like before a blizzard A.K.A. when death is upon us. Think “dismal wonderland”. Also I lost all sensation in my fingertips as I was slaving away taking pictures for the public….

The Swan Queens

They are so beautiful. I decided to go on an expedition and, on my way, I saw these. Swans! I’ll never understand how they don’t freeze to death in these icy waters. I don’t like to anthropomorphize animals because I believe that even swans can beat me to a pulp… but… they do look so…

SNAIL MAIL

HAH. Such a good expression. Actually, it’ll be especially slow since I’m sending these out TODAY and tomorrow is Friday, they probably won’t be there tomorrow. Then its CHRISTMAS WEEKEND. Then Monday. But who cares about Christmas cards after Christmas. I don’t care if people don’t care. I’m sending them out anyway. Also, more people…

Yankee Punch Swap

My former boss who still works in the office, so, my co-worker, made a big fuss about us having a Yankee Swap because he thought it would instil animosity within the workplace. Feelings hurt, bruises, negative energy, etc.. Which is silly because we aren’t fourth graders. He also strangely suggested that if we went with…

Gingerbread Shmouse

Hello!! It’s my gingerbread house! Or something that’s kind of like a gingerbread house. Gingerbread shmouse. Get it?!! It’s strange. You figure: okay, this is for children. That means, I should be just fine!! No. It’s challenging. It’s also kind of sadistic. And sinister. 1. The icing was WAY too hard and the 1/4 inch…

6 more days!?

I went onto Ebay to see about a chess set for my uncle. Turns out, its the 19th! There are only six days left! Until Christmas! Where does the time go. I just don’t understand. I realized that I hadn’t posted any pictures of the Christmas Spirit running rampant in my home. Better late than…

Office Cheer

As with most things, my time at work is made up of peaks and troughs. Yesterday, I was assigned the task to spread Christmas cheer and there is nothing, nothing, that I enjoy more. Also those of you that actually read this may tire of hearing about the Joy of Christmas and I will unapologetically…

Dreamz

Several of my friends and I have talked about this subject in great detail: Old age. And how lovely it will be. Really. I think about this all of the time. What I’m going to be like, how I’ll dress, where I’ll live, etc. I know this for sure, I will ensure that during the…

Fairy Dust

Winter. WINTERRRRR The pagans knew what was up. I already feel delusional emotions and inexplicable melancholy weighing heavier and heavier. On my soul. If Christmas, mass shopping hysteria, illuminated things, sledding, tubing, snow suits and drink-centric new year’s celebrations didn’t exist, winter would see more half-hearted suicide attempts, I’m sure! I was at a thrift…
