these texts are an archive of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area from march 2007 - march 2015. it stands as a record of close to a decade of my life, charting the struggles i faced as an artist, daughter, and lover. messy and chaotic at times, eloquent and poetic at others, these texts are an index i am proud of. it was here in this electric box that i learned how to be honest about my experiences and the person i needed to become. it was here that i first learned the truism that words make the world and how to trust such a beautiful, rife, hard fact.

thank you for meeting me here in such tall grass.


my artist website is here.

so there!

the weatherman has been proven to be a charlatan and a liar. at least today. snow. thpbbb! right. lies. all lies! fantasy-land and LIES! and me with my hopes all up even though i know better. ha! the sky is bright and blue. the sun up and shining. the clouds are white and fluffy. it's cold cold cold but it looks like spring. and so i obeyed The Almighty Jog. inga, such a devote disciple, barked and rolled around when she realized her mama was un-resigning herself to a day spent holed up indoors. my paintings have been moved outside in to the fresh and true light. i will be good. i know that the time is here when i must make the most of my beautiful days. soon, they will be sparse and then, i'll be a hermit once again. a winter shut-in who waits on the mail-lady and drinks too much coffee and wears mittens all day long and reads fairy-tales while the rest of the world spins and spins out in the cold white day. not me. i've got big plans this winter. the best of which is to keep warm.
