cádiz:

inspired by ensuite's post today, i google-mapped and daydreamed about the one place where i almost always want to be: cádiz, españa.  oh, memories.

thursday still life:

sipping a bellini, water coloring, and brewing: an atypical ending to a stressful, atypical day. 

p.s. a GIGANTIC thanks to two of my favorite ladies for saving my life this afternoon.

for lunch:

i'm having a peanut butter (crunchy), honey, and banana sandwich, cut into triangles (what am i, six years old?) and reading this article about sex, sports, drugs, and politics, which was cited on today's daily rumpus email. not necessarily the best or most appetizing combination of activities. do as i say, not as i do.

strange but satisfying:

or, when a tuesday feels exactly like a saturday.

lately:

i've been busy. not enough time to sleep, really, and even less time to keep up with things on the internet. however, i have managed to knock one item off of my to-do list: peach picking. we went last weekend, and it was lovely.

(thanks to bailey for the photo.)

ackghhh:

too cute not to post. thanks to dz for bringing these baby sloths to my attention; i squeal with joy every time i watch this video.

i love everything about this:

hateful god:

have y'all read bradley's tumblr? aside from his maddening proclivity for posting soft focus karate portraits, he has some pretty cool stuff on there -- including, most recently, a summer playlist jam-thing, which is damned good. check it out.

swimmin' holes:

i have discovered that one of the benefits of underemployment is the freedom skip off to some body of water every time the temperature reaches ninety or so. bradley and i went to hamilton pool for the first time this week and, although this photo does little to demonstrate the scale or the beauty or the refreshingly cold water, the place is amazing -- amazing and basically not visitable on the weekends. also, i left with a sunburned rear end.

serious loft envy:

so many beautiful colors and patterns in caitlin mociun's sneak peek on design sponge. giving me the itch to rearrange.
