Hello, friends. I know I update this blog so frequently, but I'm moving on to Blogger. I'll be updating on my (mis)adventures in India, so if you're tired of watching another game of beer pong or need something to do other than homework, check it out. LJ, you've been great, but I need a new land.

I was eating breakfast and reading the New York Times a few days ago (I know, how very liberal-arts-college of me) when I noticed a stunning picture of Obama on the inside folds of the politics section. He was standing with his back turned to the camera, his arms raised in the air hailing the millions of people crowding the stage, a small group of ( Read more... )

You know those people who live simple, uncomplicated lives? The ones who wake up in the mornings, happy to have the sun on their faces and thrilled by the prospect of putting the kettle on? I am rapidly learning I'm not one of those people, no matter how badly I want to be. This makes me sad and frustrated. But hey, at least it's all for shits ( Read more... )

I think it feels kind of Gauguin-ish. Holler back, French Impressionists! Even though I ( Read more... )

I think I'm going through a sad spell again. They stopped for awhile, and when they came back it was a relief that it was actually about something (Boy and Mom, specifically speaking). Then they went away for awhile because I was busy with the website and work. I guess I was kidding myself. I'm sad again.

I wouldn't write this at all - I feel ( Read more... )

I love my grandma! My mom sent her the link to my website yesterday. Today she sent me two emails saying she wants to buy two originals, a bazillion prints, and that she wants to send the link to her friends and would that be okay with me? I LOVE her. Grandma Brewer rules. So does her jello with the fruit inside, but that's another Midwestern ( Read more... )
