And my red sheets.

I really like my blue bra. I'm having one of those days. Just a calm satisfaction with things. A pleasant curve to my lips. Of course, there are occasional twinges. Things left undone, emotions unresolved that kind of grab you for a moment. But ignoring those neuroses lurking about, I'd say I'm feeling good right now.

I had a sandwich down the street in my fabulous neighborhood. An iced raspberry mocha to-go. And I put together my new little spinning file cabinet thing and computer desk from Ikea. Also I bought the new Rilo Kiley album from iTunes. Now that I am a grown-up, with a steady income, I refuse to download music anymore. Aren't I all high and mighty. Now that I've downloaded 30+ gigs of free music all throughout college, I take the moral high ground.

I've also decided to start this blog. (of course only after I messed with the html and designed myself a snazzy banner) Lacy and I recently spoke about doing Project 365, where you take a photograph everyday as a sort of visual journal. I really liked the idea at first, until I missed a few days in a row. My camera is fantastic, but too bulky to just throw in my purse everyday and risk damage. I considered buying a snazzy little pocket camera. But why spend $150 bucks when this blog is free! So I intend to still take pictures occasionally, but also to blab on here. I think that combines my visual/verbal tendencies a little more efficiently.

I went ahead and reposted any blogs I had on my myspace page, but only those I have written since moving to Chicago. Any other exploits you would like to read about (road trip, NYC last summer), you'll have to go there to check out my older posts.

Here's hoping I actually keep this up.

MySpace? Thank god you've moved. Here's hoping to some regular design/typography geekery. :)

I understand the bulky camera thing. I'm actually thinking I need to get a bigger purse/bag than the one I currently have (Joan of Arc satchel) so I can carry my camera in it's case.

Cause I know I'm gonna bust it.

It already has a HUGE scratch on the damn thing.

Ah well! Good thing I LOVE BIG BAGS!!

I miss you!

i'm glad to get to know you better through this digital media we call blogs! i commiserate with your meditation on leaving old friends and places, hoping some of them will stay with you. i think if you work for it, it will happen. at least, that's my plan.

i look forward to reading all about your chicago adventures. i'm very excited for you!
