Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. You’d think you had learned something after being married to Claire. Like not to assume you know what’s going on with the woman of the house. Or to, I don’t know, listen to her about the state of the estate she’s run for the past four years. But no! Supposedly diplomatic JamieContinue reading “outlander s1e12: lallybroch”

outlander s1e9: the reckoning
(I’m trying some new things with writing, and I’ll also be writing about some new things. I’m a big fan of the TV show Outlander, and what follows is a recap of the newest episode that aired last night in the U.S. It assumes you’ve seen it, so there are some spoilers, FYI.) After aContinue reading “outlander s1e9: the reckoning”
goals for 2015
I’ve had a crazy busy December and then some crazy busy (and crazy cool) traveling, so I’m a little bit behind on some regular life stuff. Like laundry. And doctor’s appointments. And thinking about the year ahead, or reflecting on the year that ended. 2014 was a huge year for me. I ended the yearContinue reading “goals for 2015”
end of the month review: june
(Scenes from on the road to vacation.) Summer is flying by–but I say that every year, don’t I? June was a blast. I turned 27, went on vacation and practiced figure drawing. July is going to start off with a bang when we have company for the Fourth and I am so excited! The topContinue reading “end of the month review: june”
my small cool space 2014

If you have a minute, step over to the contest page and vote for me! (You know, if you feel likeContinue reading “my small cool space 2014”
easy project friday: spray-painted mirror
I have this mirror that I really like. It’s from Ikea–you’ve probably seen it before. I love that the frame is sort of ornate, but it’s small and different enough that it seems modern and fun. I like the black and I had it on my wall in black in my old apartment. In this new place,Continue reading “easy project friday: spray-painted mirror”
titiana’s outfit from the haunted bookshop
Like everyone else who shopped at the haunted bookshop, Titiana charmed me. I wasn’t sure about her in the beginning. The 18-year-old arrives to her bookshop apprenticeship in a fur stole, after all, so can you really blame me–or her father–for making the mistake of thinking her frivolous? But you learn in The Haunted BookshopContinue reading “titiana’s outfit from the haunted bookshop”
ms. marvel
Every girl, every teen, every person has felt out of place. The things that connect us all, especially in superhero comics, are feelings of loneliness, wanting to fit in, and wanting to be a part of something bigger. That’s not a man thing or a woman thing; that’s a person thing. And that’s what Ms.Continue reading “ms. marvel”
bedroom inspiration
I am still trying to get my life in order. (How long can I use moving as an excuse?) It feels like I’ll be catching up for weeks. My new neighborhood is delightful, as is my new premium cable. But I’m getting a little tired of stepping through boxes in the living room. (#Fatcat, however,Continue reading “bedroom inspiration”
almost royalty
Courtney, The main character in Courtney Hamilton’s Almost Royalty, is on my level. I have no idea what level that is on the L.A. Eco-Chain of Dating, but I think I’ll be ok if I never find out. Almost Royalty tells stories throughout Courtney’s time in L.A. right after she broke up with her secondContinue reading “almost royalty”
