Love is in the air…

I was driving through Watertown yesterday on my way to enjoy a really nice, sunny warm Sunday afternoon and came across the cutest thing in the WORLD. The world. A man in his 50s has reached local celebrity status through his zeal for finding a companion. A dreamer. An opportunity seeking spirited pioneer of love!…

Oh my gosh the pretty!!

Daria Strokous & Kati Nescher photographed by Steven Meisel for Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 Ad Campaign: Honestly, this is something that i think is so funny. Gay men love women. What it means to be feminine, fleeting, whimsical. They understand women, and leave it to one of the greatest gays to sing to the loveliness of the girl-woman! Marc Jacobs’ Louis Vuitton…

Weird. The year’s almost over and everything’s different!

I think I’ve had the kind of year everyone tries to have every January… picked up some new hobbies, kept this blog up!, I bought a car yesterday–which is exciting–switched jobs, frolicked in rolling hills and felt the dew of summer! Metaphysically speaking. I also travelled quite a bit, which felt good.

Plus it’s nice having somewhere to go every so often. It gives you stuff to talk about with your peers. There’s the hype of GOING. Then your loved ones treat you even a little bit special just because, you know, there’s always the risk that you’ll die somehow. True.

So, its nice. Plus, last time, when I was in Zurich for a (god forsaken 11 hour layover those sadists) layover, I was only steps away from a crazy man shooting pigeons. He could have shot me.

The risk of dying when you’re at a destination that requires air travel is high. I survived the year! Or that you’ll love the place you’re going to so much that you’ll never come back. This one is more likely.

Also I did a lot of crafts, which is just nice. Cooked more–definately a good skill to invest in. I have emerged more well rounded than I began.

I suppose were doing quite well if we can do at least one good, decent, difficult-to-do thing every year. Otherwise we face only the wrath of stagnation!

Gemstones, Cosmic Gifts

I’ve been getting into gemstones. I went to the Peabody museum in Harvard Square with some friends and was completely enchanted with the shapes and colors of their geodes. And various gemstone collections. They looked like miniature art installations. They’re beautiful! It’s a shame not to collect them and adorn our bodies in them as…

Dream Board and the Universe, Part 2

A little while ago I made a post about dream boards. I’m almost done with them! My life has sort of come to a standstill during the course of the past month. I’ve needed to find the time to do various paperwork, logistical errand running, assisting, craigslist furniture scouting and delivering, used car buying, apartment…

Elie Saab Couture Fall 2011

Ah to be rich and adorned in gorgeous things. Sometimes I think of all those people who’ve got lots and lots of money and bad taste to go with it. Paris Hiltons and lesser Paris Hiltons of the world. You all make me so sad. I’ve never seen Paris Hilton in Elie Saab. Actually my…

Dream Board and the Universe, Part 1

Do you have too many old magazines!? Do you wish there was something you could do with them that’s fun for you and your friends? DREAM BOARDS There’s been a lot of talk about dream boards lately. The idea is: you rip out phrases and images from magazines and gluestick them all onto a board…

Death and Glory. And deadlines.

When I was 15, my friend Jessica and I decided we would make lists of things we’d like to do before we died. I really wish I had taken better care of that because I think I’ve done about half the list already! It’s actually on my livejournal, I just haven’t written in that in…

A moment with a stranger.

A nerdy asian man and I came at a junction today. He looked at me and I looked at him just like all people do every so often during the course of their days. Some people, and craigslist, call moments like this “missed connections”. I don’t think we need to glorify things like this really….
