getting over the hump.

in



a little mid-week eye candy to get us all over the hump that is wednesday...


this tumblr is right up my alley. {especially this one. and how bout this?}

holy heck, this wedding is one of the most beautiful i've ever seen.

uh-oh, i best start reading. and really fast.

this girl just gets it. talk about wisdom.

so does this one: it's all going to be okay.

political and religious views aside, this is really something. (in the end it's all about love).

one of my very favorite noah & the whale songs in perfect video form.

i'm gonna level with you, my mind keeps coming round to these two blog posts: first this one. and then the central notion of this one--that two people have to come to a relationship after choosing, fighting, working for personal happiness.

here's to the rest of the week!

one more day...

in



new york can be a difficult place to describe. never has a city of so many paradoxes existed. there are moments i feel this indescribably deep love for it. and then moments and days and months where i can barely breathe here, where i want to run screaming from my own skin.

i've been hating the city of late. and so everyone asks me the same question, when was the last time you got away? when was the last time you went home? away? august to chicago. home? march. 

i'm overdue. 

all new yorkers know you must constantly flee this place in order to sustain and cultivate your love for it. 

tomorrow, if i can wake in time to make my flight, i'll wing my way toward that great state of texas. and there i'll spend near a week so that when i do return...well, the hope is i'll be a bit more palatable (for everyone, to everyone, including myself). 


what all this really means is just one more day to keep that wicked jaw in check. wish me luck. 

i'm back.

computer


just about two weeks after getting a brand-spankin-new-macbook pro last july there was an incident.

it involved an eight a.m. skype date to australia, a wee bit of coffee, a spill, and then a hairdryer.

the computer came out okay (or so i thought). the loss of the caps-lock key and sticky shift seemed manageable.

but then the trackpad stopped working just about a week ago. so into the store we went. i copped to the water damage, batted my eyes, and begged for mercy.

the genius kindly obliged. checked it in under tier-four damage and waved the fee (water damage is not covered under warranty).

but in helping this working-girl out, the genius did so with a caveat:  it was incumbent on me to get a protective case and a silicone cover for the keys.

he fixed this lovey of mine. and i obliged. case and cover procured.

we're back in business, baby.



(though, can i admit something? a week with no computer? no endless surfing, beholden to no one and no thing...it was nice. i'm not gonna lie. it was really nice).
