NOTHING BUT OWLS!

come dancing


when i was a little kid, i was obsessed with the kinks’ video for “come dancing”. it’s not one of their best songs, but when i was 4 it would make me dance like a freak. it still sort of does.

another song that i can’t help but dance to is style council’s “a solid bond in your heart”.

the video reminds me of absolute beginners, a bit. i need more dresses.

this brings me to my youtube discovery of the night. i don’t know how i ended up looking for it, but i finally found a good live video of my favourite song from the jam- “running on spot.”

i feel guilty that that’s my favourite jam song, since it’s off their last album, but there it is.

on top

this past weekend robojoe and i went on a mini holiday to lassen volcanic national park. i hadn’t been there in 20 years. we hiked to the top and i didn’t die. i did trip on the way down, slide a few feet, bang up my knee, scrape my hand and arm, and rip off the tip of my finger though.

despite that, it was fun.

bloom!



Bloom!, originally uploaded by kendrak.

this is my african violet that finally bloomed. i bought it years ago and all the flowers fell off and the thing seemed to be dead. it was always varying shades of green, but never flowered. some how, i got it to bloom last week. i feel victorious.

see… my mom has a knack to make things grow. she’d always buy near dead african violets from the grocery store and bring them back to life. now it seems i can, too. (though i am also responsible for nearly killing it.)

i just hope the thing doesn’t die again.
