There's Beauty in the Breakdown

2010-09-09T11:52:00.000-07:00

The Boulder fires remind me of the Frou Frou song "Let Go" or at least when I look at these amazing photos by DLevin on flickr. So incredibly sad for those who have lost their homes including the animal friends. But you have to admit there is some beauty in the breakdown.

The Brillance of a Chicken Salad Sandwich

2010-09-07T13:15:00.001-07:00

I'd consider the chicken salad sandwich the reversible pants of the food world. It's so wonderful. If you get bored of eating it as a sandwich you can just make it into a salad. How delightful.

I went to the Dahlia Garden at GG park yesterday to take some pictures. Here are a few gems I came across:

I really wanted to lie in the middle of the garden and pretend I was in a wild dahlia patch so I took this shot to fake what I would have seen.

Busy bee

Ball dahlias

I love that this dahlia looks more like a lotus flower or water lily than a dahlia.

An Adventure

Flower Nerd Alert

2010-08-26T21:35:00.001-07:00

I'm a bit of a how do you say flower nerd. I love plants and flowers so much that I follow a few wedding blogs because I just adore looking at the beautiful flowers. Yes, I still look at these wedding blogs even though anyone who sees me on them has a tendency to say "oh you're looking to get married then, eh?" to which I have to say no it's just one of the best places on the interweb for floral inspiration. I doubt anyone believes it to be the truth, but it's true. No one f*s around with their flowers on their wedding day. Or so I thought.

While looking at this posting today I noticed a bit of a floral fumble. To a normal person this would go totally unnoticed, but I'm a bit of an observer especially when it comes to flowers so I immediately noticed this photo:

Lilac? Those are lupine in the jar actually. I thought for a second well maybe that's just the table name and they are all lupine with different flower named tables but then I saw this one:

Daisy and daisies. Proving my suspensions were right, they had a bit of a flower fumble. Get your flowers straight people. I'm watching you.

Holy Ponies

2010-08-16T09:57:00.000-07:00

My sister recently told me that when I was little I used try to hid my love for horses from my sisters. Apparently, I didn't want anyone to know how much I loved horses. And man, I really loved horses. I remember one year on my birthday my family had gotten me a whole bunch of plastic horse toys. They lined them all up in the hallway and I walked out in the morning to see all my new horse friends. I was pretty little then but that memory will be forever etched into my mind. Well, until I get Alzheimer's.

I loved horses so much in fact that there were these two life-size plastic horses standing at the gates of a farm on the road to my grandparents house. Right before the farm was a cemetery. The cemetery is important because every time I'd pass the cemetery I'd hold my breath and make a wish to get one of the giant horses. This happened every time we passed the cemetery. Years passed. Then on the way to my grandparents for the holidays one year I went through my horse wishing ritual. Then moments after my wish, we passed by the farm and can you believe it one of the horses was gone? I silently got really really excited. This was finally the year I was going to get my life-size plastic horse. I don't think I fully thought through what I'd do with it if I had one. I went to my grandparents and opened presents. Then when all the presents had been opened my mom said there was one more thing for me but it was outside. I started interally chanting, "It's happening! It's happening! I'm getting my life-size plastic horse after all that wishing." I went outside to find a sweet purple bike I really wanted. It was pretty amazing, but I was secretly disappointed it wasn't the giant plastic horse.

All these memories came flooding to the front of my mind after seeing this posting on yay!everyday. I went to photographer Kalle Gustafsson's website to see if I could find more of these beautiful horse photographs. And I did. Beyond capturing such beautiful horse images there are so many amazing shots on the site. I highly recommend taking an adventure through the site. Here are some of my favorites:

This one reminds me of something that I can't put my finger on right now. Maybe this book cover?

I find many people fear horses. How could you fear them after this photo. Beautiful.

Maria Kalman has her Various Illuminations (of a Crazy World) is currently at the Contemporary Jewish Museum. I'm going to go and check it out this week. I went to the CJM website and looked at the "In the news" section to see what people thought of the exhibit. I really think ZEEK said it best:

a week in photo review

2010-08-15T13:23:00.000-07:00

i made some delicious mint iced tea and put them in recycled french lemonade bottles. the bottles made everything so fancy.

yesterday it was sunny in august in san francisco. had to capture that rare sighting.

walking through chinatown yesterday i realized that even though i've lived in the city for two years i've never actually taken a picture of chinatown. so i did.

on my way out of chinatown i decided to stop at citylights bookstore. i also discovered the upstairs of city lights for the first time where they have poetry and beat writings. i decided to read naked lunch while sitting upstairs. i got 40 pages in and so far that junk is pretty fucked up. to add to the book's actual text, i could hear through the window down to a man on jack kerouac alley yelling profanities and nonsensical ramblings. i though it was a perfect new layer to the book. at some point i couldn't tell who was making more sense, the drunk man yelling on the street or burroughs. my hope is to stop in from time to time and read the whole thing up there because as i learned, it seems to be the perfect place to get the most out of the book.

as i watched a few TED talks this weekend (elizabeth gilbert, maira kalman, tim brown, dave eggers, sylvia earle, and dave carson* *friday) and started this watercolor while i watched them.

i go there sometimes in my dreams

2010-08-13T23:44:00.000-07:00

there is this place i go to sometimes in my dreams that doesn't exist in the real world, and i went back there a few nights ago. it was just as beautiful as i remembered. it's been a while since i had been back and i started going there when i was quite young. a few things were different but it was the same place. a wide open pasture this time with a small garden with corn growing in it. above the garden where i was standing was a bench and there were a few buildings in the dream which were not in the past dreams. i definitely remember thinking to myself how beautiful the corn looked growing in the garden. in this dream i was more conscious of the fact that i had been there before which has never happened in the past. that's normally something i realize when i wake up. the oddest or most interesting part of this dream to me was that this time i brought my itelephone to take pictures. i remember thinking how i had to capture all of the beauty of everything i was seeing.

then i woke up and i didn't know how i felt. don't get me wrong i love technology and my little itele but a brand showing up in my dream? my special reoccurring dream!!! why couldn't it have been some unbranded no name camera? or some hip cool vintage camera to make me look way cooler than i actually am. maybe i've always had my itele in that dream but when i was first going i didn't know what it was since it didn't even exist then. and yes, if you're wondering i did check my itele to see if i was doing some dream photography but alas no middle of the night blury photos turned up.

i did end up remembering i took some great shots during my holiday on my itele which i'll posted as some sort of consolation prize for capturing no special reoccurring dream shots.

until we meet again special reoccurring beautiful dream.

I made a little fun time poster back in October entitled "fontstaches". I found out today it was featured on the Beard Revue via isaidicanshout. Super stoked people are liking the little guy.

But more importantly I would like everyone to know the name of the poster in its latest form is NOT called Fontstaches. I am terribly sorry if I have made any typographers/designers/art directors/mothers go naners.

I'm also in the process of making it a real poster (with revised name) which people can hang in their homes/garages/cars/sandwich shops.

Send me a little commenty comment if you are interested in adopting one and I'll let you know when they are ready.

i lost my itelephone to the night last night. well either that or it was stolen out of my jacket pocket but i can't place blame on anyone but myself seeing as i may have had a bit too much of the bubbly. i created a posting on craigslist and come to find out i wasn't the only one who's going to have to get a new itelephone for 20 10.

two were even lost at the same place. well anyway, that's not that interesting except that nye is a prime time to make some cash as an itelephone checker (much like a coat check but for your phone).

anyway, i found something even better when i went to craiglist which made me think i got it easy just losing my itelephone.

i wish i had some information for mark, but i know nothing about the case of the missing box turtle.

new to my toms family:

black glitter toms for dancing and fancy events! ive been waiting forever for toms to have more of the bronze and blue glitter shoes because i didn't really like the gold or the silver ones. these new black ones will suit me just fine.

booties for the snow when i go to the co and the wa. i had a conversation today about what i was going to do in the cold weather since my feet are almost exclusive to toms (i would say always but i didn't have any glitter ones for fancy events so now i can always exclusivly wear toms) but magically toms was already on top of it! now im all ready for winter fun times!

silver dacing, happy fun time shoes because they are silver and amazing!

elevators

2009-04-30T23:04:00.000-07:00

i really don't like them. they're crutches for people who aren't injured. it doesn't make much sense to me to use an elevator to get somewhere when we are perfectly capable of getting there on our own.

yes, i know i work on the 17th floor of a building and we have the world's fastest elevator. i actually had to press other buttons when i first started working there because i couldn't handle how fast it went.

normally, i'd boycott elevators for the more natural version some like to call feet. however, i have a problem. i love to sleep. yes, i love it. yes, blah blah you can sleep when you are dead and all that crappy pants but i can't help it. i love to sleep. now this is a problem. i can't love to sleep and also get to work at a decent hour by hiking up 17 flights of stairs.

yes, this however, isn't your problem. nope. it's my problem.

i got stuck in the elevator today.

i hate elevators. they are boxes of nothingness bringing you up and down. i don't get it. i really only get it because the person who must have invented it loved sleeping.

catch. 22.

home videos

2009-04-15T22:32:00.000-07:00

when i was growing up erica and i loved making home videos. we loved making home videos probably more than we liked to think about cool things we could do when we were bored which we did a lot. we probably spent at least half our time thinking about what we could do instead of actually doing anything. regardless, this is about home videos.

we made a lot of them. we started out amature style doing day time talk shows, music videos, cooking shows, and occasionally movies. after we had been doing our movies for a while we started making these movies for class projects. now, thinking back on it i have no idea what those projects were. All of our projects were edited in-camera so you can tell what kind of quality you're getting with these babies. oh yes, and our sound was usually created by pre-programed tunes on an electric piano. (i distinctly remember one doing a countdown in a crazy voice 4.3.2.1 then insert crazy, sweet electronica noises) i have compiled a list of just some of the many that i remember making.

would you plan a trip to europe for shoes?

2009-04-14T11:26:00.000-07:00

i would, but only for these:

photo credit: here at ohjoy and then here at hunter

the hunter rhs original in floral white! holy amazing! i need them or my little floral heart will be broken, forever.

and to top it off these shoes were made for me: "These boots were made with the gardener in mind and designed especially for the Royal Horticultural Society. Established in 1804, the RHS is the UK's leading gardening charity dedicated to advancing horticulture, promoting good gardening and helping all gardeners everywhere."

i went to the RHS site and now also want this (but would NEVER be used with the boots):

i didn't know why i love my crocs until today

2009-04-13T23:01:00.000-07:00

i could never really figure out why i like my crocs or i suppose more importantly why i even dare to wear them in public until i was on this silly adventure on wikipedia today. it started with me looking up the swedish countryside but ended up answering a much bigger question in my life: why exactly do i wear those silly crocs of mine?

prior to today i would have said, "well you see they are a boulder-based company and my unjustified loyalty to a geographical location where i spent 4 years of my life makes me wear them" but that in fact isn't the answer friends. im as surprised as you are. it's actually my dear and glorious friend peter forsberg as noted in wikipedia:

"Peter Forsberg also owns a company — Pforce AB — that imports and markets Crocs shoes in his native Sweden since 2005."

now when someone asks why im wearing the most ridiculous shoes in the world i can say "it's because have an unjustified loyalty to a hockey player i once stood 2 hours in line to meet for 30 seconds."

ESPN why are you breaking my heart?!

2009-04-01T11:17:00.000-07:00

The main page of ESPN's NHL page. At least they did it on april fools' day so some people may think it's a joke. Also, I'm crying in a corner. alone.

on the chicago skyline

2009-03-04T00:37:00.000-08:00

this quote by haruki murakami that i have taken completely out of context seems to aptly describe my thought on the architecture of chicago:

"the intention wasn't bad, but the effect was unpalatable. like serving sherbet and broccoli on the same silver platter."

orange sky was my favorite until i was in the movie theater yesterday and heard it as the theme song for an upcoming la police drama southsomething land. it still might be my favorite.

i used to really be into flower meanings

2009-02-16T22:48:00.000-08:00

but that got really hard when no one else knew their meanings. mostly, it wasted time trying to explain flower meanings after you give people flowers. it tends to look how do you say, creepy.

however there is exciting news on the horizon with illustrator/ad jason logan. jason has reinterpreted flower meanings for the modern day.

to quote the ny times article:
"For centuries, flowers have carried coded messages. A dark rose, for instance, symbolized bashful shame; a foxglove, deceit. But the rules of love have shifted, and our floriography needs modernizing as well. Jason Logan illustrates some updated meanings for the flowers you’ll be sending (or receiving) on Valentine’s Day."

here are a few of my favorite new flower meanings:

jason, for your sake and mine i hope these new meanings stick and if you need any help creating others for the collection you know where to find me.
