in the end we're all just taller children

Certain songs I come back to again & again.

A few friends shared this song with me a few months back — Every so often it comes to mind again.

Forgot all about this song, but it popped into my head and somehow it works for me today.

One of my first rock albums as a kid: Abacab! I remember being so pleased when I realized during a piano lesson that a-b-a-c-a-b referred to notes on the musical scale. (Now you wanna go back and listen to the whole album, don't you?!)

my-my-my-my-my

feeling late 90's vibes

songs that still make me smile on a Friiiiiiidaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy


(memories of late 90's Florida: bucket hats, ringer tees, friggin' malls everywhere! It was so crowded even then, can't imagine now: heard we wouldn't even recognize our old town anymore)

weird music that you find yourself grooving to at 3am when you're working an all-nighter by yourself

drop your silver

well there's gonna be a time

this song popped into my head, and somehow it has just the perfect sound to me this morning - Oh yeah

Cool for Ca-at-at-ats

How are you doing?

Word of the day:

self-aggrandizement

Beautiful!

So behind on posting photos - I will soon - in the meantime, enjoying the season:

"It's such a shame it's only one day every year,
Three hundred and sixty-four days full of doubts and fear
You've been saving your love up,
Let it out,
'Cause Christmas is here."

- XTC, Thanks for Christmas

This made a lot of sense to me when I read it

Insincerity becomes dry and tedious.

I'm so behind on sorting through my photos - lots of back-tracking to do. Here are two recent favorites:


wouldn't that make a gorgeous ikat fabric?

Hubert Duprat's art collaboration with Caddisfly Larvae (via) - I've never seen this:








Description copied from Wikipedia: Hubert Duprat is a French artist known for his unusual work, an artistic intersection between caddisfly larvae and gold, opal, turquoise and other precious stones. Caddisfly larvae live in fresh water and naturally construct elaborate protective tubes for themselves from materials found in their environment. Under natural conditions they use the objects found in their stream bed homes such as pieces of wood, fragments of fish bone or crustacean shell, grains of sand, plant debris and small stones. The tubes serve various purposes; the stones are used to increase traction in fast-moving streams, they serve as disguise for the soft-bodied insect and the spiky bits make the tube and thus, the fly larva, more difficult for predators to swallow. Duprat, born in 1957, began his work with caddisfly larvae in the early 1980s. He collects the larvae from their normal environments and he takes them to his studio. There he gently removes their own natural cases and puts the larvae in tanks filled with his own materials, from which they begin to build their new protective sheaths. When he began the project, he only provided the caddis larvae with gold flakes. Since then, they have enjoyed various semi-precious and precious stones, including turquoise, coral and lapis lazuli, as well as sapphires, pearls, rubies, and diamonds.
