Last Summer and On and On

I have not updated in a year. It doesn't seem so long, and yet a world of things have happened since I last typed symbols onto a screen and uploaded them onto the web.

First, I'm living in Detroit. The Dutchman left and has been replaced by a tire mogul's son. Last summer began with a multitude of ambitions-knitting, reading, trips, moving across the Atlantic; ambitions that have been left incomplete.

I traveled to Germany, Greece, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Boston, Canada, upstate New York.

A college friend and I are discussing a joint blog, and I realized, looking over the old entries, how much I miss making collections of my personal aesthetic. I also miss having my own identity. I'm in grad school, as a future librarian or archivist. And after spending months wrapped up in my own despair, I've begun to make my way out of it...

Spring Along

These are from various blogs, most likely Wildfox and Wikstenmade, I'm just so tired right now. Need to finish packing for D.C.

Hey Little Indians

I've been thinking of summer, like the children fast asleep in their beds before Christmas eve.

Instead of having visions of sugar plums, I have visions of the beach, and sand. Being warm, and dancing in the wind.

Summer brings out a freedom in everyone, a creativity, that the bitterness of winter can hide.

For now, I hope that everyone is making their plans and dreams, and that they will all come true.

This summer I wish to be a little Indian.

Here are some things that are inspiring me right now:

Magnolia Pearl

(She is Amazing!)

Mociun

Bat for Lashes

From Oak NYC

Russian Magazines:

FaceHunter?

Everything ended up looking more like fairies and princesses, but I guess that's about as rebellious as I get...

More/Better Later, when my Thoughts are complete.

Wink in a Blink

Tonight going to see Bat for Lashes

Happy Spring!

...Soon to be Summer

Primary Entry

Being at home, alone and jobless has given me a plethora of time to catch up on television, sleep, eating, and overall doing nothing. Well more like compulsively checking my facebook/myspace/e-mail, oh and creating this baby.

How can She & Him play in Wisconsin and Minnesota and not Detroit? What makes Michigan less relevant?

I hate the whole awkward feeling new friendships bring, sort of like when you find out you have a crush on someone. Usually because I meet my friends at school or through other friends or because we live nearby I see them everyday, but living out here by myself has made me, well lonely, and school made me quit my creative habits hard. Cold turkey?

At least I've kept up my collection of beautiful images and inspirations. Maybe I should finish that project?

Today I find ginger (the root/spice) and this photo beautiful:

 

from an impressive  photographer.

It makes me think of the obvious:

And a little less obvious:
