Winter's fin


It's French. And what with temperature's toppin' 80 and the mesh starting to make its appearance, I figured it was time to bring us back to a happier, nippier, holly jolly time.

Front yard. Just airing out the carpet. Or is it a wall covering? Or a bed spread? 

My Christmas Tree (that's still up.. in May..I'm just a'product of my raisin')



Ready for Santa on western Christianity's Christmas Eve!

I live by myself and it was a school night. Don't judge.
My dad's first care package to me. It was pure genius with a touch of crazy (the bundle of Wendy's straws).



Winter puppies!!

Mom got fed up with the full house and just started living on the roof of the dog house

Good morning!

For about 2 solid months, this is what I had to walk to school in.

"They've all been placed in loving homes," said me to myself after they all disappeared one day

The long road to Kristen's house.

Homegrown graffiti

People legit pull their children around town on these. It's adorbs.


A video bike tour through Ukraine. A pretty wonderful job at capturing the country during the summer.

Book update: finished both The Executioner's Song (1979, 3.75 stars) and High Noon in the Cold War (2004, 3 stars). Moved on to Guns, Germs & Steel (1997, 3.5 stars, as interesting and enlightening as everyone says it is. Pick it up if you've ever been curious as to why Western Europe rose to dominate the world), then the 3rd book in the Series of Unfortunate Events series (The Wide Window, 2000, 2.5 stars, it made me LOL) and 13 Ways of Looking at the Novel by Jane Smiley (2005, 4 stars, recommended for anyone who loves books and just wants to read about how much other people love books. I couldn't put it down). Now I'm in the middle of Henry Kissinger's The White House Years (1979) and Rabbit, Run (1960) by Updike.
