love you all long time.

the days of our lives.

lots of newness! i had my first official gallery opening on the 10th of july at aperture gallery in salt lake city. more info here. what a fantastic event! much food, drink, friends, live music and more. pictures to follow soon! all credit goes to one of my dearest, ms. heidi gress who not only forced me to get out of my comfort zone, but put the whole event together. bless her. the show can still be seen through the month by appointment, or you can catch a second opening again on gallery stroll this upcoming friday, july 17th. there are some very talented artists in there, i highly recommend it!!

my favorite, favorite event ever took place last weekend out towards the spiral jetty. craig and i decided to spend the night out there for a grand adventure. only, we left at 10:30 in the p.m., and got hopelessly lost. in the desert. on bad dirt roads. oh but what a time we had! both my front tires blew out and we laughed and laughed and laughed. we curled up in the back of my truck for a few hours sleep, woke up early and started walking. and walking. and walking. we had lots of water, a bagel, and plenty of sunscreen. after about 4-5 hours we reached the golden spike museum, got freshened up and called a tow truck. got new tires, got to salt lake and stuffed our faces at coachman's. some of the best parts can not even be explained at all. but my brain will always think sweetly of this wonderful adventure of being lost in the desert. even though we never did see the spiral jetty!












also. check out these two bands. the venetian snares and jeremy jay. my new two favorites.

and i say "blah blah blah blah blah" to your trip.

bruce gilden is one of my new favorite photographers. i highly suggest spending some time with his work- so inspiring. oh and watching the video below so you can get a full appreciation of his guerrilla photography style. clicky here.

no more ants for me in my life. it's time for me to dance above ground.






also, i get my tattoo on the 19th. design photos and updates to follow soon. new chapter in my life, new beginnings, new people. ALL is bright and beautiful.

egg salad sandwiches and ridiculousness.

you'd think i'd be shocked at others' abilities to ask tactless questions.
you would think i'd be shocked at the lies people can tell themselves and others.
you would think i'd be shocked out how bizarre my life continues to get.

well. i'm not.




i just ask for a little simplicity, and for heaven's sake a little privacy in my personal life. just give me an egg salad sandwich and a good book and leave me the hell alone. unless i already know and love you. then you can come curl up with me and eat tasty snacks. oh and play my ukulele.

and anyway, the clown is booked until wednesday.
