Laaaadies

Today I've been busy planning my best friend's Bachelorette party. Needless to say, I got ladies on the brain. I'm hoping it turns out as charming as some of these photographs:

I've been meaning to showcase my tiny apartment for a while now. Seeing that we'll most likely be moving, now's a better time than ever to share the little box with you guys. I absolutely adore our itty bitty 600sqft space. This is no selby feature but it'll have to do.

♥

Here we have our bedroom with attached bathroom & balcony.
I think the tealtown chandelier curtains add some charm but my favorite part of this room is the family photo wall. Anytime I spot white frames I just have to pick a few up.


vintage fan, mustachio labbits, kozyndan bunny wave print and a polaroid from Berlin atop a refurnished dresser my dad made:

I love my Shophouse mobile and vintage German sea mammal chart:

Although our building is is old and lacks any curb appeal-- our unit has been renovated. Sadly, the inner workings of the building are deteriorating and the pipeage is questionable. We don't want to potentially deal with an other flood. We've been living here for nearly a year and a half. That's a bit of a record for us-- we're always on the move.

happy friday

I recently watched a documentary on the weatherman underground-- that radical 70's organization that caused a stir this past election. I guess I can fault this film for now having bomb-threats on the brain. Our PA system just went off with a warning from the maintenance dept that they're doing some testing. For a brief moment I was so excited that something might be going on and I could go home today. There's something majorly wrong when the possibility of a terrorist attack in my office is thrilling.

¡Luchahuahua!

One Of America's Great Field Biologists Thinks About Burial

Adorable digging beetles, celebratory dancing over deceased, human compost folk song, frozen flesh sprinkles showering the earth-- this story has it all.

It's been 1 week since I heard this story on NPR and it's still on my mind. You can read the transcript here, but I really suggest listening to the full story. Pete Seeger's "In Dead Earnest" song is too good for words.
