somewhere along riverside…

some moments around town…

*i love the 'kiss & ride' signs at the subway stations (such a beautiful little thought)
*so many donut shops (ah the love of sprinkles!)
*liquor stores…lots out here in the valley and with 'clever' names (there is this big clown one that frightens me - it has a huge huge neon clown sign)
*people taking horrible photos for headshots. (I so want to call out the window and tell them it is all wrong - the light, the position) it would be funny if it wasn't so sad
*most of the car wash places have a little food stand on site…perfect plan for the hungry person waiting for their car 

things I need to do 

-need to get some color film
-I bought a twin lens reflex camera on ebay, need to get it
-need to start painting again, bought some canvases at dick blick
-need to mix some paint for the above canvases
-need to take care of some emails
-need to finish unpacking my stuff and find a home for it
-need to go to the water again

We got a new apartment. We have internet again. But we also have to put everything away. I am still wrapping my head around the fact that it is winter and I can wear flip-flops.

Right now we are piled under boxes and trying to figure out where everything should go and all I want to do is crawl into bed and hide under the covers until everything finds a home. So for the next few weeks I will be here sporadically.

Risa's tea party was amazing, thank you everyone that came by. It was lovely to play along.

Risa is having a tea party!!
I love the sweets…cookies and the like, so I thought I'd bring some sweet treats to the party.

Some cupcakes (if you can get them before the birds do).

My absolute favorite…donuts with sprinkles. (I never understood why in nyc they only sprinkled half of the donuts…)

What an amazing get together! Thanks Risa!!

perhaps (approx 4" x 5")

Even though I still don't have a proper place to paint or call my own (hopefully not speaking too soon) I seem to have uncorked the sketching. I didn't work yesterday and the Boy is still in nyc so I tooled around solo. It was a nice breathing space, to sort of fill with silent ideas.

Janel gave word number two. I feel like I stand in this position often. And I find that I am most often is this stance when I am between things. When I am pausing. I thought perhaps was a fitting word.

definition from Webster's new world:
possibly; maybe
