Ahoy! New photos have surfaced from our New Year’s Eve adventures in the Texas Hill Country, from Mr. Chip Warren, esteemed gentleman and fantastic photographer. Following are a handful of my favorites, but the full set can be seen here: Hill Country New Years 2009 I love the shots he captured of our exploits with [...]

Here we go, darlings – on the precipice of a new year, and just nearly ready to dry our sticky wings on the other side of the future! 2010, for real? I mean, doesn’t it seem slightly preposterous, as if we ought to be living in some science fiction reality? Where’s my flying car? I [...]

(via paperlilies) Fever dreams, strange passages, sleeping all day. Oh, I’ve been so ill! Again, a nasty bug has knocked me down- an unfortunate casualty of my poor candle, burnt at both ends. I’ve been flattened like a pancake under the steamroller of a particularly pernicious strain of influenza. Bother! I won’t go into the [...]

(From the collection of Mark Dion and Dana Sherwood) I arrived in the city soundly, despite Mercury’s meddlings (delays, insane turbulence) and headed straight from the airport to the Hungarian House where my beloved Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band and The Luminescent Orchestrii featuring my old friend Sxip Shirey were tearing it up. It was [...]

Oh my. It’s been a while since I was last in New York. I just dug up these pictures from the last time I was there, and I’m flooded by memories of how much fun we had.. Now I’m even more excited about visiting again- it really is one of my favorite cities, and I [...]

So, remember when I went to Chicago? I’m just now finding a minute to write about all that, so forgive the vast rewind- as per usual, I create my own time-space continuum and all that. I find myself in a hulking city packed with bodies and marvel as I let myself be buffeted like a [...]

I look forward to the Krewe of Eris parade every year- it usually happens on the weekend before Mardi Gras, and this year (it occurred back in February, mind) it was quite chilly indeed. Luckily we were all able to augment our ensembles to accommodate both the theme and the weather! Last year we all [...]
It’s always so strange- the feeling of traveling a long way in the course of a day. A morning, and then an afternoon pass on the journey and I am hurtled across these old familiar highways back to a place that still calls me home. It felt like landing on another planet, though. Backwardsville. The [...]
A series of lazy days, wherein I attempt to hack chunks off of a steadily expanding list, but when I’m chilly I seem to get less done- I need to crouch near the heater and contemplate the dust-motes whispering gold and gray. All this woolgathering is thankfully intertupted by a visit from two of my [...]
This is the face of an accomplished woman. My wee jaunt to Indiana was no mere pleasure trip- (though lovely and lackadaisical in the the extreme it was indeed) the journey was occasioned by the graduation of one of my dearest friends, whom I have had the joy of knowing for 16 years now. I [...]
