holiday lull

Apologies for my long absence. I have been taking some time away from the laptop to enjoy my family. Hopefully I'll be back on it just as soon as the holiday glitter and dust settles. For now, here are some polaroids of our backyard poinsettias. They are such glorious flowers.

The (garage) Studio

So, along with fixing up our house, we've got a lot of work to do on the studio. It needs so much work that it doesn't feel much like an art space right now... more like a garage with a bunch of junk in it. Here are some Polaroids of the studio in its prime.

February's Darlings

Happy Birthday to all you February babies. Here's to a month of love, groundhogs, presidents & saints. And most of all, here's to you.

just when I'd almost given up on you, Facebook

Just when I was really questioning the value of social networks, an old friend found me. Here's to you Mr. Parker. You have saved my Facebook account from almost certain destruction and you have renewed my faith in the system.

Happy Friday everyone.

make my heart sing

Raise your hand if you've seen Where the Wild Things Are.

Ian and I saw it last Sunday in Santa Barbara's lovely Arlington Theater. We ate Red Vines and held hands and Oohed and Aahed. Perfection.

Daikokuya Ramen

I mentioned that we visited my favorite noodle kitchen when we went to LA a couple weeks back.

This is it. Daikokuya Original Noodle & Rice Bowl.

The ramen is fantastic and so is the katsudon. Yum.
