Pretty Fashion posts, watch for more!

I'm going to straight up say it, I do not like any sort of mask in fashion and Masquerade balls are really freaky!

Things I am thankful for

My sister

The Desert

All of my close friends

Portland Oregon

Olympia Washington

The rain, although relentless

Sexual health

Showers, Indoor and Outdoor

Thick handwriting

That song "jilted"

Tomato starts

Salad

Fiber

Fermentation

I'm getting older it's okay

what do you want to do before you die?

The bushes hang low and heavy and red

Bees

My partner

Feathers littering the ground

Porches

Hearing skills

Last night I went to Evergreen State College lecture hall number 2 to see a new animated feature called Moon Diary by my friend Erin Tanner and animator Curtis Randolph. It was amazing and it made me dream of teeth with crowns and the substance of a headache. Erin has always been very inspiring to me artistically, utilizing rainbows, long legs, innermost hurts and sudden fleeting moments of animal joy. This this work is beautiful beyond belief. The DVD will be released sometime soon, after that it will be avaliable to watch in one year on the internet.

Good morning

Rain times? Why?

Well, back from tour! Had a warm portland welcome in the wet, wet streets. I'm writing to you from fuel cafe, after an unsucessful try at getting some bike repairs done. Bike Farm is closed, and Community Cycling Center on Alberta proved to be not awesome at all. Oh well there's always tomorrow! Today is for tea and daydreaming in the rain.

Tour!

Tour has been really, really lovely! Lots of hot days in the car listening to Josh read Miranda July stories, lots of landscape changes, awesome shows and new and old friends. I'm currently writing from Albuquerque, In our darling friend Billy Jo and Christopher's magically arranged home. We've been awarded a down day or so, as our Santa Fe Show fell through. We play tonight at Winning's coffee, and tomorrow may visit Albuque and busk in Santa fe. Oakland and Davis were amazing, playing beside Oakland's sweetest, Maple Rabbit, KinKin, and Wisdom Tooth. We all swooned pretty hard and later Drove back across the Bay Bridge to see Foxdye rave out in a ballet studio. Also, Josh and I got stuck inside an elevator with The Club Pina Colada
