How you kissed me strange to prove you were mythical

Forest! Like I promised. I tend to mix pretty things with bits of edge. Thus, I own basically lots of lace, sheer things, leather, and boots. I think I'll start sharing other things- I make lots of food, jewelry, decor, and sometimes I paint things. Since we're in that vein, I'll post a starter.



Here's a seared tuna filet (not to be confused with fillet, ha- sorry, nerdy joke) that my bf and I made for dinner last night. It really was just as delicious as it looks (if not more). And this is my favorite way to eat tuna, actually. I'm a huge fish/seafood fan (half Japanese, after all...), though this basically ties with smoked salmon bagels as my favorite semi-cooked fish dish. Okay, I'm done talking about fish. I think.

and then there were 8

Shot these yesterday in my bf's backyard. The past week has been pretty brutal, since I'm not used to waking up early anymore and still insist on staying up late. Went and saw SuckerPunch - meh, grocery shopping (bought oatmeal and apples, feel like a little kid again!), and made plans to go hang at a forest today.

The bird skull is from Etsy, dogtag has my name on it, and denim shirt Urban Outfitters. Oh, and yes, that is a rock in my hand in the first shot.

photo diary - sxsw

This pretty much sums up the part of the week that I spent in Austin during sxsw. Life is pretty good when you have a million cats to play with, flowers to touch, people to see, lights to be mesmerized with, and of course music to be heard. Being from Austin, I tend to not spend money on the event-- more just like to drift from place to place (the free ones, of course) and take in all the amazing culture that the city really is. But of course, there is the downside that during the week, tourists pack the place, which means bad traffic, unbelievably impossible parking, and herds of people who don't really "get it". Don't get the "weirdness", why anyone would bike 11+ miles to work, the street art, etc. It's good to be home, though. Travelling does get tiring. But after a pretty depressingly unproductive week, I'm almost ready for spring break to be over with. I might regret that statement soon, but Monday, here we come.
