The things I loved at the start of summer…

As summer begins here on the east coast, I think its high time to take another look at the things that I adore at this point in time, the last update on this being the end of March!

Sometime this summer while I am on this coast I will be going down the cape, hopefully to Provincetown, one of my favorite places ever!

Sailboats! Since I am soon to be getting a tattoo of this one!
 
True Blood, an HBO show about vampires set in Louisiana, a little tacky and such but so addicting, the second season just started!
 
One of the best things about being back east for a little while is my glorious reunion with my best friend of many years, she goes to school in Chicago now and so we don’t get to see each other unless we are both back home.
 
I FINALLY saw “Vicky Christina Barcelona” and fell in love, I want to go to Barcelona now! Its an awesome movie that I highly recommend.

Things I loved at the end of March…

I’ve been neglecting this poor little blog, but its not my fault, I swear! It was my birthday, on the 10th, then I flew home to spend a few days in MA, flew back, and naturally got really horrendous sick with some sort of flu for like a week. After that I’ve been swimming under a sea of school work and projects. So its been hard to find time to blog! Here are some things that I love lately! 

First and foremost…I’m going to Disneyland!!! On April 11th as a late birthday present! I am so so SO excited.

  

Sunshine Cleaning…I can not wait to see this!
    
   
This super zen game thingy.
     
This is pretty beautiful, however I don’t really like the music they use, try syncing it up with “The Young Machines” by Her Space Holiday, much better!!!
    
How insanely beautiful does this look? This is Holi, the festival of colors in India, you can see more images here. Or learn more about it here. I really want to travel through India someday, and this is something I definitely want to see in my lifetime!!
    
Greece, seriously, I know I wont come into any money, but if I did and I could travel this summer, I would want to go to Greece, it just looks so beautiful!
    
Text based art and posters…some great inspiration can be found here. I am getting some great ideas for some new typography and text based art!

Traveling Quote

 I just made the 6 hour flight back to San Francisco and its definitely good to be back. Todays quote is in the spirit of travel!

 “Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” - Jack Kerouac

Leaving on a jet plane…

All my bags are packed I’m ready to go…next time I’ll be blogging to you from San Francisco!

So until then, the Ramones say it pretty good…

“Well I’m going out west where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long 

When I walk and They walk I Twist and They Twist
I Shimmy and They Shimmy I fly and They fly
We’re out there having fun in the warm California sun”
