wish i was wearing:

 

 

rachel comey s/s 2010. i'm so ready for warm weather.

a nice sensation:

today was my first day of work. this evening, i biked down the street to waterloo icehouse to visit bradley and drink a cold shiner bock; there i was, relaxing and reading a book from the library, when i came across this passage:

There is a secret bond between slowness and memory, between speed and forgetting. Consider this utterly commonplace situation: a man is walking down the street. At a certain moment, he tries to recall something, but the recollection escapes him. Automatically, he slows down. Meanwhile, a person who wants to forget a disagreeable incident he has just lived through starts unconsciously to speed up his pace, as if he were trying to distance himself from a thing still too close to him in time.

In existential mathematics, that experience takes the form of two basic equations: the degree of slowness is directly proportional to the intensity of memory; the degree of speed is directly proportional to the intensity of forgetting. 

as i unconsciously dog-eared the page, i was surprised at how smoothly and easily it bent under my index finger; the words must have similarly struck at least a half-dozen readers before me.

so i made a tumblr:

and it was probably an unwise decision, but i come across so many beautiful, inspiring things every day, and weheartit.com is so finicky and slow to process the images that i "heart," so tumblr seems to be a decent and more aesthetically pleasing alternative for compiling them. 

check it out here if you're interested.

the fall:

ah, i completely forgot how stunning this movie was. cosmic dust reminded me.

afternoon at the park:

sunny and sixty-something on the last day of february.

another kitty:

this one with painted fur. via lauren dycus, who else? 

not a bad day:

big brunch, bicycle ride, moderately successful job interview, book store, short nap, frittata & hot toddy & olympics.

double stripes:

citrus suede jazz shoes:

want. can't have. 

kitties & succulents:

is there any cuter combination? honestly? i think not. 

love these collages (and others) from stephen eichhorn, via mint.
