I have a twenty-three page word document full of quotations I've written down over the years, mostly from books and movies. When I opened it recently I was (again) struck by this one, which is speaking about internet communities:

"We used to meet people and then get to know them. Now we get to know people and decide if we want to meet them."

Personally I've never met (in person) a "friend" I've made online, but it's definitely a change that is occurring within our generation. Something to think about.

This picture is unrelated, but nice, don't you think?

Europe Bound

So I made the (right) decision. Right after graduation I'll be off to Europe for three weeks! I've never been--I'm so excited. As if I didn't have enough on my mind with papers due and finals around the corner, now I somehow also have to move out of my apartment and plan outfits for Europe.

Think I can look this cute in front of the Eiffel Tower?

The Bathroom

Sipping on a coffee frappucino and finishing this book

before diving into my Shakespeare reading. I found this at City Light Books (I was drawn by the cover design) and I'm completely smitten. Looking to buy the rest of Toussaint's novels as soon as school's out--if I pick them up now I'll never manage to study. Also stressing over Europe plan decisions that I have to make by tomorrow.

Monotonix

The boyfriend recently found these pictures of he and I at a Monotonix show at Spaceland in April. Had to share.

Yes, that is the lead singer's naked butt. As you can see I was slightly terrified but also having a great time. They really put on a great live show--playing while suspended in the air, outside in a tree, on the bar, etc. Oh, and they lose some of their clothes.

Also, the Kazai Rex and Th Mrcy Hot Sprngs show last night went really well. Actually, it was only 3/5 of Kazai Rex, but they pulled it off. And The Li Po Lounge in China Town was fun. Good trip. Just got back to LA, and don't want to do my Shakespeare reading for class tomorrow.

City Lights

In San Francisco for the weekend because the boyfriend's band, Kazai Rex, is playing on Monday. Currently the boys are next door in the practice space jamming. It was cold in there, so I'm cozied up in their friend's studio where we're staying catching up on blogs, getting Muni directions to MoMA for  tomorrow, and craving a milkshake.

Okay, so my luggage is not this cute or tidy, but I did see this book in City Lights Books today.

Double Take

Did anyone else notice that the June Vogue used a photograph of Karolina Kurkova it already published a few years ago?

Wild Thing

Recent inspiration from the girls over at Wildfox:

This girl made the leopard body suit herself, cut the top off of overalls to make the vest, and pinned a bunny tail on for extra flare. I must find some goodwill overalls soon to recreate this. Such a great idea!
