71: graduation



I am now a college graduate. Today is my first day of being unemployed. Yay?

70:




Messed around with new editing stuff I learned in my Digital Enhancement class.

Oops...

I am going to get back into this. I swear.

67: dear dragon



Waiting for my flight from Detroit to Chicago the morning after seeing Breathe Owl Breathe in Ann Arbor. At the venue (which was really a loft apartment), instead of stamping your hand, a girl drew this. I thought it was cute.

63: fedora



Straight out of the camera. Always my goal.

61: on every single wall you own



Related to the song in the last post. More cute/cliche/cheesy than I wanted. I might redo the concept some other time.

60: raise your wrist



"say your prayers before your eyelids roll
on every single lie you've told
on every single lie you've told

let the name of your love be known
on every single wall you own
on every single wall you own

raise your wrist and call and call
with every single breath you draw
with every single breath you draw"
~every wall you own, chris bathgate

I love this whole album (a cork tale wake) and especially this song.

I was originally going to do the first verse, but I learned that it is damn near impossible to write on your own eyelids with liquid eyeliner. Perhaps I will do all the verses and wait to do the first when one of my roommates is home...

59: she makes my heart bleed color



I will do a real one tomorrow. I promise.

Tonight: Blitzen Trapper @ First Ave.

58: happy valentine's day



On Valentine's Day, Adam and I drove to Austin to go to the Spam Museum. It was pretty awesome. Later we had dinner at my favorite restaurant (Loring Pasta Bar) which was far too delicious and left me stuffed.

57: the red carpet



I dragged Adam to St. Cloud to see ReadyGoes on Friday. I had a great time, minus being pulled over when we were 5 minutes away, oops. Luckily I just got a warning for speeding and having a burnt out headlight.

56: all about the benjamins



This weekend Adam & I found an apartment. We actually liked the first one we looked at so much, we decided we were done. I took out this money for the deposit today. I've never had so much of my own cash in my hands. I'm looking forward to getting rid of it because it makes me nervous (but it makes my bank account sad).

55: "my name is stuart ransom miller and i'm a serial lady killer..."



I saw Rhett Miller of the Old 97s solo this past weekend. I saw him open for Dashboard Confessional 4 or 5 years ago and eventually fell in love the Old 97s and all their alt-country goodness. I couldn't help but be a fangirl and meet him at the merch table after the show. I can't remember the last time I did that.

53 & 54: holgatastic




Got my first few rolls from my Holga back. Color flashes are weird. Focusing is difficult.

51: new glasses



I finally got these in the mail after ordering them before Christmas.

50: balancing act



Classes have started up again and it's back to balancing school with life. I'm taking American Political Thought, Drugs and Society, Oceanography, and Music in the Twin Cities. I'm especially excited about the last one. We mostly go to different kinds of concerts in the Cities and write reviews of each one. I think we are going to 15 total, everything from hip-hop to operas and folk. I'm just hoping they don't conflict too much with my own shows.

Speaking of which, other than the Rock Boat, I haven't been to a show is FOREVER. Luckily that will change this weekend!

47 & 48: the rock boat






Too busy seeing shows to do anything creative on the boat...

15 January 2009

46: M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E



I'm currently at my friend Sara's in Florida, hanging out for a few days before The Rock Boat. On Wednesday we went to Busch Gardens and went on a bunch of roller coasters and yesterday we went to DISNEY WORLD! Just the Magic Kingdom, but it was fabulous.

Today we're driving down to Miami for the pre-party, then the cruise leaves on Saturday. I'll be back on the 22nd. Hopefully with pictures for each day...hah.

45: how much is that puppy in the window?



I want a puppy. I want one real bad. But I can't have one.

To make up for it, my mom got me these lil pups for Christmas.

44: new hat




I lost my other hat. I am super bummed about it. Its replacement is decent though, but lacks happy memories of Australia and penguins.

43: holga!




I finally got a Holga! I can't wait to get the first roll developed.

42: penmanship



I was tagged in a Flickr meme.

41: i use mouthwash, sometimes i floss



"This is my face, I’ve got a thousand opinions and not the time to explain
And this is my body, and no matter how you try and disable it, I’ll still be
here
And, this, is my mind, and although you try to infringe you cannot confine
And, this, is my brain, and even if you try and hold me back there’s nothing
that you can gain

Because I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I got a family
And I drink lots of tea"
- Mouthwash/Kate Nash

I am going to the dentist later today. Eek.
