Coming along at a very slow pace, but this is what happens when you are ending school & in between apartments I suppose! Sometimes when I'm in the middle of making something that is a little more time consuming & detailed, I almost never want to finish in the same way that sometimes you never really want to complete a really good book. I like taking a few minutes in the morning to sit & stitch, I like having this bit of work as part of my day to day life.
Some time ago (a week? More than a week? What is time?) I went back home! It was such a brief visit, I essentially took a bus & a train for hours & hours on a Friday & then did the same thing on the Sunday. It was crazy! Being back for just that tiny tiny bit made me miss home quite a bit. I think the fact that I also happened to be listening to a lot of The Head & The Heart on the way there kind of exaggerated that feeling. Especially the following songs:
Anyway, in between reading & doodling, I took twenty thousand snapshots of "the windowwwwww". Here are some:
So yeah, my friend's graduation was definitely worth the fuss! I have a policy of not putting anyone's face publicly online when they do not normally put their own face online publicly so here are some more generic type shots.
Flowers for her!
Waiting for the graduates.
So so many of them!
Cute dogs live at home too!
Back in Los Angeles, I did other things like drink alien soda & pick up my cap & gown
& I also briefly was at the Grove
The reason I've been without internet more often than not lately is because I have been slowly moving my life into a new apartment! I'm not really sure if staying in Los Angeles is one of the best decisions I've ever made, but this city just keeps throwing cool opportunities at me so I guess I'll stay until my welcome is worn out or until the next big thing comes along! Of the people who have seen it, the thing everyone loves is the amount of natural light that just fills the space so so nicely. Mini tour of how it's looking so far:
I took this while waiting for IKEA deliverymen & for my boyfriend to come & help me build things
Bird friend hanging out outside.
Other things that were good & that happened. I got my Leonard Cohen ticket in the mail & ate at a seafood restaurant that serves you by the pound.
