i have nothing of importance to say...just wanted to share my love for Zooey Deschenal...can you blame me?

those eyes! that style! that VOICE!! Lord, i'm excited to see her portrayal of Janice, another woman I adore.

photographic obsession

i would like very much to live here sometime in the future.
or maybe here...possibly here...
doesn't really matter, i suppose. as long as i have this chair...
and this bed...

i know it's like, completely redundant at this point but, i want it.

take off your clothes.

so, i'm back in tahoe for the thanksgiving break, and as much as i miss home when i am away, i genuinely have no desire to move back here. don't misunderstand me, i love the place i grew up. i think it is one of the most beautiful places on the planet and i have heaps of wonderful memories and friends here, but it's just not a place i fell alive in. it's difficult to explain, but something about the lights and concrete of the city make me feel like myself. like i'm finally at peace in my own skin. it sounds strange, but the fact is that i just wasn't built for small towns. i need the constant light and motion and energy that only a city can offer. when i'm in tahoe, i feel as if there is a part of me missing, something that aches and reaches out for...something. i don't feel that in the city.

i'm currently reading Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman, which makes me giggle and think all at once, which is nice. it's essentially pop-culture commentary. very amusing. highly recommend it.

insanity

spent the last two days being ridiculous because my cousin was in town. went with her and some of her friends to free day at the academy of science (i seem to be spending a disproportionate amount of time in that place). got a bit tipsy off of cheep boos and frozen orange juice mix. all in all a very classy affair. just got this awesome new skirt and sweater from Urban Outfitters, both black, because, you know, my closet doesn't already have enough black in it. but yeah. thats the extent of it. going in to SF today to try and retreive some of the stuff i left at variouse peoples houses.

the early bird.

i'm really digging karla's closet right now. for someone so young she has a very definitive and classy style. i certainly wasn't that fashionable in high school. plus, she's just so damn pretty. i've already garnered a wish list of some of her clothes, built centrally around these trousers.

See what I mean, though? Lovely. Certainly not the dressings of your average 16 to 17 year old. I'm essentially in total envy of this girlie.

In other news. I've got class today, plus a load of errands to run/get taken care of over the course of the day. I really ought to start getting up earlier but its just so damn hard. I'm not much of a morning person. But once I've actually managed to drag myself out of bed, I really do enjoy being up this early. It feels like I've got the whole day spread out before me. Strange, because in high school I used to be able to get up at 5 or 6 in the AM and think nothing of it. I'm getting old.

The weathers been utterly lovely lately as well. A friend of mine was in town from Tahoe this weekend and we went into the city for the day. Stopped by the Academy of Science and the lines to get into the jungle exhibit were rediculouse, so we just went around and made faces at the fishies and squawked at the albino alligator. Then we caught the bus down to ocean beach just in time for one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. No joke, check it out.

to blog? or not to blog?

i'm really rather baffled by this whole blog phenomena thing. i mean, i understand it in the sense that i am a member of the masses who reads blogs. i find getting a look into a complete strangers head and life delicious, but every time i begin one--a blog, that is--i tend to either a) run out of things to say, b) forget about it, or c) feel as though i'm rambling. so i'm going to try (really, i am) to get this off the ground, and hopefully actually do something with it. but...i don't really know where to begin. i have another blog (over livejournals way) that is a bit like a diary for me, just sort of rambling tidbits of thoughts mixed in with photos i find on the web that inspire me or summat, but, as i said before, that doesn't seem to be what blogging is about.

so...if any one has any suggestions??

i am such a sucker for photography. pretty images make my day.
