I feel like I should really only update in this thing if I have an interesting anecdote. I don't really have an interesting anecdote, but I also haven't updated in a long time, and I guess I just wanted to. So, random thoughts, here we go ( Read more... )

OK, OK... so they're not apartment pictures--yet. I'm supposed to get my furniture on Aug. 8 (and I'm picking up my new bookcase tomorrow), so expect some Clifton Blvd. shots sometime next week. Also coming next week: Pictures from LOLLAPALOOZA, which is going down this weekend! I am so incredibly excited. Although, at this point, I think I'm more ( Read more... )
