I so want to get a nice camera and travel and take pictures.

twice-baked bread

Ooh I love days like today. All constructed from reading on the porch in the sun, sewing things to give to people, doing the crossword and drinking tea from a cup I made, and lastly, Food Not Bombs, once again.












I didn't attend this week, but helped send my brother off with some bread. The original loaves were found (in large quantities) in the dumpster behind the Wonder Bread factory, their defect being slightly under-baked. So, now they live in our freezer, and we baked 5 loaves today until they were no longer doughy but bready and good.

Now I'm off to A's to do some math and watch a movie and have a nice evening to a nice day.

I want to uproot everything and start anew.

I need something to CHANGE.

at this instant

I love:
Matisyahu.
Summer.
Listening to reggae and sunny days.
Kaizers Orchestra.
Sleeping in class and dreaming that I:
Walked into the school bathroom and saw myself and said "Hey! It's you!"
Being out of doors.
Peace Corps excitement.

More/better pictures will come later, right now I am feeling the lack of sleep gotten last night. It was nice to see everyone dressed up and fancy. We danced and ate popsicles and rubbed our aching feet. The weather has turned cold and snowy, but I can't help but feel springish and happy.

the order of the afternoon

Hike. In which I fall many times into snow and mud and thorny bushes, come away with splinters and scrapes and wet shoes and a sore butt and cannot be bothered because it was so beautiful. I was wearing a tank top and it was warm. I can feel old wintery skin shaken off as car windows get rolled down and sunbeams warm faces again.

Vegan Pizza. In which I am so excited to get another piece, I break my favorite plate.


In other news, school is shockingly close to ending.
-My new favorite music-maker is She and Him.
-It is so nice outside! Getting up in the morning is so easy because it is light outside.
-I have been doing a lot of reading of authors that I like, Virginia Woolf, Kurt Vonnegut, Joan Didion, Elizabeth Gilbert, and loving Beatrix Potter much as ever. All of these writers ignite a fire in my belly for writing, and help me not condemn that dream with thoughts like "Oh, there are so many writers in the world already, I would be wasting my time." Because there's another voice that says back "But this is what I looove."
