currently: perusing old notes and letters here…

This  memo for William McKeen by Hunter S. Thompson is one of my favorites so far. I like the way Thompson expresses himself. I’ve been acquiring an affinity for words like scum, and crummy lately.

playing catch up in instagrams… (my new go-to filter of the moment, Nashville)

…I’m on a strict no shopping diet, but, sigh, was distracted and fairly tempted by this chartreuse Kate Spade bag. I didn’t give in though.

…Dad’s harvest of sweet oranges and grapefruits. There”s so much more left for picking, so if you want a basket, let me know!

…taking some time off from building websites and photoshopping to relax on the couch with Maggie and getting my movie fix for the week. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spie was sooo goood. It’s a bit of a slow movie if you’re expecting some action spy flick, but how can you  resist a cast of  British actors? I also finally saw Scream 4, which has been my guilty pleasure for the last few months. It was actually a very good slasher flick. I might have underestimated Julia Robert’s niece.

…two favorite shots from my stroll downtown after I finally gave in and made myself drive down there to renew my car sticker. I found this courtyard a block down from the courthouse.  It’s actually part of a church which has contemporary architecture features.

…nothing beats the comfort of my own bed sheets, and sleeping in through a thunderstorm, which has been occurred twice this week!

Heading off to enjoy the rest of the holiday time with the Phamily in Mexico. See ya in a few days!

…going to the arboretum today for a photo shoot.
I scoped the place out yesterday, looks good.
Hope it doesn’t rain  on us!

Sometimes, the only pick-me-up I need is a little retail therapy in cosmetics. I’m ready for fall with these lipsticks shades.

The scarf is a little splurge, but I really love the bohemian print and the softness of it. Also, you can never go wrong with a soft pashmina for those amazing fall breezes.

Got a duplicate geisha Hello Kitty in my box. I was hoping for British Kitty, but these actually look cute together.

New books to browse through during late night reading sessions. (A birthday gift…thanks bro)

…I can hear the wind blowing at night now. I hope this summer heat wave is dissipating for good soon.

randomness:

speaking vaguely:

pencils at the ready…back to sketching on a daily basis…I’ve assembled a team of artists and friends…hopefully we can get this thing running…I’m pretty excited  about it
