wishing

sitting here on this lovely saturday, wishing my nieces could go play in the park with me. miss you ladies!

music to listen to

mmmm - listening to the new andrew bird album, noble beast.

the pedestrian project

performance art freaks me out. i also used to think that i didn't like when people dress up as other things, but that's an overstatement. i don't like when people are completely covered by their costume; oversized & engulfing, full face paint &/or masks creep me out in a way i can't explain. with that said, i'd run if i came face to face with this project & become obsessed from afar.

taken from the website: the pedestrian project consists of several performers wearing entirely black custom-made costumes modeled after the generic images of men, women, and children seen on public signs. mimicking the lives of everyday people, the roaming sculptural forms inspire the imaginations of onlookers, who often find themselves mesmerized as these familiar icons assume busy lives of their own.

not enough time in the day, week, month

do you remember those carousels on playgrounds; the ones that make you sort of nauseous but are really fun? quite honestly, january has felt a bit like that. it seems as though i'm the one spinning it & is going much faster than i can run.

i can't even place why it's felt hectic, all i know is that i'm ready for february. don't get me wrong, jan was lovely - filled with midwestern travel, birthdays, volunteering with sos & riding with the ladies from sgs, looking for apartments, pushing hard in the gym & seeing results, learning about my new camera & spending time with friends. ok, sounds like i do know why it's been so hectic. even so, i'm ready to get my after work life back on track, to the point where i can recall what i did the week before & cross some goodies off my to do list.

i'd also like to find a way to continue the good stuff coming on still dottie; quite honestly, i've been slacking. i just hate to post stuff i don't love & right now, my love has been off the internet.

bear with me. i'll try to catch up & hop on the carousel.

etsy wednesday

every little counts is selling fun t's for girls, hell - for girls & boys. lost in love is my top pick, but other ones with great type include: feel like making love, let me hear your body sing, romance & forever. shirts run about $25-$35 & are silk-screened by hand. get one.

add it to the blogroll

i'm going to post my adds as i find them, no more weekly posts just cause it's tuesday. i just want to avoid adding something for the sake of a weekly feature; i always want to post it because it truly is added to my blogroll.

any ideas on a new weekly feature? style, fashion, graphic design, logo love, tutorial links, etc?
