really. i don't think you look familiar at all.

Today marks the beginning of a very long, very stressful week. I have too many articles to edit for newspaper, and by edit I mean tear down to quotes and bare bones and rebuild with my very own words. I have too many missing assignments from my week long pneumonia absence to make up, too many essays, translations, tests. And I have too many distractions (i.e. the office, chocolate milk, upcoming concerts, library volunteers). At least fall is one hundred percent here, and I have been celebrating with chai tea, sweaters, Neil Young, and great big books. And also red dresses that I will posting on soon. And, courtesy of a friend, I have discovered that I very much like Over the Rhine. Listen. 

 

pussywillows, cattails

So busy, haven't had much time for posting. Went camping this weekend, playing Gordon Lightfoot on the guitar around the fire, reading poetry, and carving pumpkins. But I was too busy downing hot chocolate and sucking on cough drops to take pictures. This is a new teapot recently added to my (modest) collection. Given to me by a great aunt. 

I took some pictures at my grandma's house a couple nights ago. Thinking of submitting one for the first photography club contest of the year...

And happy October. The weather is finally cooling off, which means black tights, hot tea, and jack-o-lanterns. 

taking the monotony out of monogyny

Today I went to a flea market. Here's what I bought. If I had $692, I would have brought home a hand-painted accordion, a lighted art deco ash tray, a marionette, a pair of bird sketches, and an apothecary chest. But as it was, I had ten dollars, and thus brought home a suitcase, a model T is a globe,  picture of an old fire engine, and some jewelry. Not bad. My grandma gave me some gold, old-womanish necklaces and earrings that will be great for fall. Grandma jewelry is pictured in bottom left. Everything else is flea market. 

Also at my grandma's found some very dirty horoscope cards. Not what you want to find our your grandparents' dresser. 

you obviously know what i'm talking about

I figure that since this is something like my blog's maiden voyage, I won't get into anything too heavy. Let me just say that I am new to this blog thing. Well, I've had a blog, but never one I've been serious about maintaining. But I promise I'll get the hang of it. In the meantime, feast your eyes on this. Did I mention that I am hating this weather? Can't wait for fall. Last night I bought a pair of brown leather heels to go with my navy knee highs and black tights (but not at the same time).
