looking at new apartments

And it's painful. It looks like I'm not lucking out like I used to in getting homes near the train. So maybe I'll get something in a cheaper rent range and spend that extra dough on walking shoes. In the meantime, here's some homes I would like to like in. For $400 a month plz.



Malia's Legs!

These are the American First Daughters that I adore. I never really got it for Chelsea, or the Bush twins, but I love these little girls, and am so proud of them, basically for just existing. I guess Malia's not that little, she's as tall as her mom- unreal. Also- very jealous. My mom is 5'2". I guess it's just  blessing I surpassed her. I was hoping to get to 5'10", but I fell short of that goal by three inches. So, I guess I just want to reiterate the post title- Malia's legs!

^9



I loaded my first cone nine kiln the other day, and it came out beautifully! I am so upset that I am graduating, right as I finally got into the rhythm of working in the ceramics studio. Pish. Tosh. I'm going to be at OxBow for two weeks as a TA though- that's pretty exciting! I am going to hike and canoe and swim and work every single day for two weeks! Last year, I came home with 500 mosquito bites, a tan and minus 15 pounds. Heres some pictures from Oxbow last summer:



The Aforementioned Plants


I bought five plants on Tuesday, instead of going to class!
I need to name them and make a watering chart, so I remember which is which, or rather, who is who.

Cloudy Morning



Sitting drinking my coffee on the 12th floor, shoes off.
Molly came over early, seven am, I showed her how to use my grandma's sewing machine.
I forgot to open the shades to let the light shine on my new plants, but there's not much light anyways.
I don't really understand plants, but it's a wonder anything grows in Chicago.

Bust of an African Woman, 1851

Moonlight Sonata in Milk





Brooklyn photographer Sara Naim has taken a series of photographs that reflect Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” as seen through ripples in milk. By placing milk on top of a subwoofer, she was able to capture some of the most powerful parts of the music. Take a look through all 12 of the photographs while listening to Moonlight Sonata and see if you can pinpoint the actual moment when each photo was taken.
