I LIKE:
• writing about you, what you do, what you love to do, why you love doing it & why other people should love you & what you love to do
• music and musicians
• super HEAVY blessings
• making/sending postcards, like this one of Oblio & Arrow:
• onomatopoeias
• reading very very slowly
• learning how to meditate
• lathering in the sheer, brutal honesty & disillusionment of misguided affection
• live shows n' music festivals
• Sophie & Sara
• dance dance dance
• BBQs
• Word of the Day
• powerwalking
• researching the FLDS & other cult leader profiles
• Sunday, BlackBook magazine, an Americano (black) and a soft couch
• Angelina Jolie
• getting over panic with a newly discovered malemolencia
• noodles:
• being sung to on my voicemail
• alien physiques
• late night radio programming
• leaving notes behind, writing on mirrors, sticking things onto other things when no one is looking
• street stenciling:
... even if it's a little morbid
• old clothes, new combinations
• last song syndrome battles
• making lists • changing yours
• letting it breathe
• moving on
• Miro:
• Mucha:
I grew up with the Mucha print (shown above) in my home... inspiring my own rendition of a woman in foliage (as adapted from an image on www.thisisamagzine.com by Rob Coutts @ BobbyFive):
• duende & saudade (below is Dave @ BobbyFive, inscribing the words on my torso):
• naps & nuzzles
• brunch
• connecting dots
• owls, squirrels & bunnies
• ideas (bad ones too... hmmm, maybe even especially)
• Nick Cave's lecture "The Love Song"... read it = brownie points
• legwarmers forever
• lacing up new shoes
• this:
