Radio Days
After watching Radio Days last night (1987), I might have stumbled into a Woody Allen movie-watching vortex. Man, that guy is clever.
Beyond the Sea
I've been holed up in my house with some sort of sinus situation for the past couple of days. Although being sick isn't my idea of a good time, there is a great joy in the unabashed, sick-in-bed movie marathon. Watched Beyond the Sea the other night. Kevin Spacey stars as Bobby Darin (I'm a big Kevin Spacey fan now...who knew?) opposite Kate Bosworth, who makes a BABE of a Sandra Dee. Here were some of my favorite movie moments:

I was blind, but now I see
I'll admit it - I got Tumblr-fied. A few months ago, I thought it would be a good idea to hop on the Tumblr train (along with the thousands of 15/16-year-old girls with super trendy 3 column layouts). It was fun for awhile, but I miss the lack of personality. I miss writing.
I found Tumblr to be strictly photo-based, and while photos can say a thousand words, there was hardly any original content - just other people's photos of outer space, typeography ("Book a ticket and just leave", for instance), interior spaces, pretty girls with their tops off with medium-sized breasts smoking cigarettes, and miscellaneous GIFS reblogged and reblogged again. Who knew where it actually came from?
And so, I'm back. Hello! It's been awhile!
A lot has happened since my last post (exactly 7 months and a day ago).
-I quit my job at the bakery, for starters. It was just time to go. Little Light was getting bigger and it was time to take things to the next level. I made a vow to myself that I will never work in the food industry ever again.
-I ended up going to Coachella after all. The day of the festival, we bought tickets on a whim off some guy that was selling them on Craigslist. He was a liquor rep, so he threw in a bottle of vodka and a couple bottles of wine. Took a day trip to Salvation Mountain one day:
-I turned 24. My best friend, Morgan flew in from Colorado to surprise me! For the first time, I got to go out with my 3 best girls. The end of the night looked something like this:
-My cousin Dani and I went to New York to visit our cousin Andrew, who lives in Brooklyn. We volunteered selling beer at the Governors Ball Music Festival at Randall's Island and in turn, got to go to the festival for free. A photographer for style.com took a picture of me at the festival and a few days later, this collage surfaced on the website. Yes, that is Alexander Wang to the right of me:
-I bought a ukulele and learned how to play it.
-I went to Colorado for some best fran time with Morgan:
-I went to my cousin Karin's wedding. Both ladies made such beautiful brides!
-My friend, James (whom I reconnected with in New York two years after meeting him on a train in the South of France) came out to San Diego to visit me - twice. The second time, we road-tripped up to Big Sur. I had never been there before and was blown away by how gorgeous the PCH is. Here is a picture of a spot we chose for a picnic one day:
-And of course, lots and lots of Little Light'in:
So glad we're all caught up now. Hope your summers have gone fabulously!
