I tried to do the day in photos on Saturday but majorly biffed it by not doing anything interesting, then forgetting to take some photos. So here’ s Sunday instead. These are not the best cell phone pictures ever taken.. I used the native camera instead of Camera 360 this time.. and basically proved that…

The Perception of Beauty and Beastliness
“In your eyes, I perceive… both the look of a beauty and the look of a beast. Be mindful not to bring about your own end, my dear!” So says the Chrono Cross fortune teller to Kid, my favorite character in one of my favorite games. I thought about this quote every time after that when I felt…
Christmas Eve in Pictures
Yesterday, on Christmas Eve, I took a photo every hour, for every hour I was awake. I was hoping to capture the story of the day, and interested in seeing if the pictures would tell me anything about my day that I didn’t already know. In the end, I found out that my day is…
Music I Used to Like.
An album doesn’t have to be a good album for it to mean something to you. It doesn’t always take greatness. At a point in time, somewhere between gaining my own consciousness and gaining my own autonomy, Everclear’s Sparkle and Fade album really spoke to me. I’ve listened to it recently, out of curiosity. While…
Pictures About Cars and Driving
I really do have a thing about cars and driving. I’ve been known to make cracks about The Beach Boys writing more songs about cars than girls, but I am fully aware of the degree of which I get swept up in the mythology of a car. Its not the status symbol of a car;…
The Maxim Gamer Girl Contest and Why ITS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT
When I was modeling, the one thing about it that really nagged at me was that there were very few pictures taken of me as myself. (If this is a revelation to you, I used to model, I don’t anymore, I quit doing it to do something else, and in the way of life, it…
The Road I Didn’t Choose
In the Freshly Posted spread today, the lines “What Did You Give Up To Get What You Got?” jumped out at me. The Truth and Cake article was not exactly about what I thought it was going to be – I was expecting a question about the roads you gave up to take the one…
Seeing Things I’ve Seen Before – Caddo Lake
I used to describe the life of a model (under my breath, and to close friends) with the phrase “See interesting places.. with people you don’t give a shit about.” That’s harsher than I really felt I suppose, most of the time, and it doesn’t exactly apply to Caddo Lake, as the first time I…
Stupid Blogs About.. Really Good Stuffed Porkchops That Thom Cooks
I don’t even like pork. If you asked me if I wanted a pork chop, that’s what I would say.. “Eh.. I don’t really like pork.” But these were badass. He also does a fairly famous slow cooked shredded pork that’s really good, but this time, he did seasoned pork chops stuffed with fresh mozzarella…
And on the day that I got promoted, I had pink and grey fingernails.
Couldn’t show off the polish in WASD position though.
