Weekends

Mist

November 21, August 21

the cold makes me think of walking

and rooftops

and the the bunt scratch of tree bark.

MKE

I'm staying in California over Thanksgiving, because flying back and forth is simply too expensive. I realize that my background on both my phone, and my computer, is the lovely city of Milwaukee.

Cream City, I love you.

I can't wait to get back to the Dirty MIL!

Skin

I'm thinking about skin

as I run my finger along the outer edge of my coffee cup

unsweetened

with no milk

the steam curls up and through and I can see the little flecks of

skin

on my dry hands

I'm listening to jazz music and it's raining

Charles Mingus to be exact

the trumpet is sliding through my brain

eeeeeehhhhhhhhihiiiiii it goes

straight through

The coffee gets colder.

my fingers linger on your back

ssssssshhhhhhhhhhieeeeeeephhhhhhhhh it goes

(the sound of my fingers across your back)

skin. skin. skin,

Questionable...

Alice Waters

Tonight I hugged Alice Waters. GAHHHHHHHH. She gave a talk at Scripps and I seriously almost teared up at the end.

Also playing this song by Atmosphere on repeat.

I LOVE SCRIPPS

Girls can never change their natures,

that is far beyond their reach

Once a girl is born a lemon,

she can never be a peach.

But the law of compensation

is the one we always preach:

You can always squeeze a lemon,

but just try and squeeze a peach

YEEEEEEEE

95 degrees today, which called for a trip to the pool. We just splashed around, flirting with the water and enjoying the sun. After we dried off and were heading off to dinner, I was so in love with the beauty of everything that I tried to take a picture with my phone. Laura playfully comes over and completely flips up my dress.

I was not wearing ANYTHING at all under the dress.

We all crumbled with laughter. It was a good day.

And Liv and Ishmam are cutting back on cigarettes!
