empty

All that remains in our beautiful apartment.  The good is the move is almost done.  The bad is that I'm really going to miss this place.

goodbyenote

A goodbye note from a most awesome roommate.  It's sad when things come to an end, but onwards and upwards is the only way life can move if it's going to be enjoyed.  Besides, he's not escaping us for that long if I have anything to say about it...

crispin

Crispin Hard Apple Cider!  One of my favorite summer drinks - light and sweet and tart and best served over ice to make a perfect refresher.  (Please enjoy responsibly!)

This picture is driving home the fact that I need a new computer so I can use my proper camera again, because this phone-picture in no way does my mushroom lasagna justice.

Bad: getting locked out of my car, and in a truly imbecilic fashion too.  Good: having someone come pronto to break in for me so I didn't have to take to the driver's side window with a hatchet.  I give you Nathan, my automotive hero.

So pictures of the result of the tart crust are forthcoming, but my computer sadly crashed and so I've been forced to using my cell's camera to take my daily photos, which did not do the tart justice.  So here, have some really lovely street art instead.

This may be hard to believe, but this is a theatre.  A black box theatre, actually.  And it's currently my theatre.  Because the show I've been directing, that I've been working on for three months or so now, is opening tonight in this space.


Show time, baby.

beholdamango

To celebrate of the start of my springtime favorite month, I went out and bought a special fruit for myself.  Behold, the mango.  Just look at those colors.  How can you not want to sink your teeth in?

Most decadent fruit ever.  Just look at all that juice.  Mmm.
