Bones, Bones, Bones

Top 5 Favorite Childhood Costumes:

1. Gypsy (this was in heavy rotation for multiple Halloweens)
2. Dinosaur (although I really hated that one at the time)
3. Cleopatra
4. Tank Girl
5. Giant Grape (this costume is in honor of my dad, he dressed up with me every Halloween and took me trick-or-treating. This particular gem consisted of brown pants and copious amounts of purple balloons safety pinned to a purple turtleneck. Best costume EVER!)

Due to my laziness this year, I'm dressing up as the zombie form of a Eddie Vedder. Why? I'm not quite sure yet, I think mostly so I stay warm.

Update: Not so bad Tuesday

Beautiful bike ride + tasty breakfast + studio + mixed tape = a not so bad follow up to my crummy Monday.

Worst Monday Ever

This guy is so happy...

Today begins the start my candidacy review week; I wake up with terrible nausea and a headache, just my luck. Working on every bit of energy I can muster up before I go teach a class and sit through a lecture (and the fact that my studio has an overwhelming smell of cleaning supplies is not helping.) Perhaps I can conjure up this image whilst teaching to keep me from throwing up.

Wise Blood

Image of a Shrunken Mummy: this character plays the most precarious of parts

Based on the novel by Flannery O'Connor, John Huston's epic film (circa 1979) can be summed up as a masterpiece for lack of better adjectives. Philip and I stumbled across this gem on a lazy Sunday, and were completely taken by the beautiful packaging done by artist Josh Cochran. We were even more happily surprised when the film lived up to our expectations.
I highly recommend watching it.

all in the present must be transformed

So Delicious!
