giftguides

(pablofranco image)

maybe i've fine-tuned my rss feed so well, that this holiday season i'm only getting gift guides directed toward my demographic - FEMALE PHOTOGRAPHER WHO LIKES FOOD & DESIGN, or maybe everyone this year is a female photographer who likes food & design??

photojojo - check out the iphone adapters!

pintrest - omg that polaroid is a scream.

flaming absinthe

flaming absinthe seems to be all the rage this holiday season.

tina, my favorite bartender & spin partner in san rafael - made me a flaming absinthe drink for my EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR award:


and here we are at a fabulous party this saturday enjoying absinthe in all its flaming glory:

terraincopying


i got all copy-cat this weekend, and decorated my little apartment for free. i copied terrain (new fave online shop) and made my own garland. i even made a wreath for my party hosts on saturday. whoot.

14 actors

i like the javier bardem & the guy dancing.

compost cookie

i am the person who has over 200 blogs & what-nots on google reader. so, a better part of my morning is coffee + google reader + forwarding links to my friends. if you are my friend, you most likely receive 2/3 links per week. i'm a human link dispenser. i see a post, and think about you, and send you the link. its a love thing.

SO. i read this article about momofuku compost cookie & send the link to my foodie co-workers.

we decided to splurge and treat ourselves & order the tin of cookies! it was 22 dollars!!!!!!!!! OMG. we still did it. its from new york & is all fancy.









END RESULT - we each got 2 cookies. I love the coffee bits in the cookie. I wanted more potato chip! And I loved hitting the pretzel in the middle.

I need milk!

mending

anie - thanks for mending my most favorite blanket of all time! I love it!

non attendance events

(how cool is this?)
there is a part of me that wants to travel to miami basel and experience that SOME DAY.

and then there is a part of me that just wants to look at the slideshows and live vicariously through the people that are already there.

i feel the same way about burning man.

bean

(this matthew williamson has nothing to do with this post. lol)
i die.

bikeshopsigns

zach & i are pimping out our local bike shop, and finished our many projects this weekend! I will put before & after pics up - once they hang the "shop hours" sign.

i'm really happy with the way things turned out. making signs is a lot like knitting - you have to be OK with making progress, and then re-starting midway. i can say with confidence that each sign was re-painted at least twice... so anyway here are snippets from our sign handywork:





alternative cartographies

i had a really interesting sunday afternoon. i was the photographer at the headlands art institute. i've been wanting to get involved with them, so it was very fun for me.

here is the full set through the headlands flickr page.






lunch:


after the event, i drove around the headlands. this was the view:


2 times

this is the second time i've asked someone out on the fly, and they are going to hawaii the next day.

what is up with that state.

timelapse night sky

i love this couple. i hope someday they get featured in "bay area power couple" or something like that.

her husband documents the tropical plants growing, and it looks like she took over the camera to capture the night sky.

spend some time watching.

turkeymax

one my best friends stuball jones has exquisite taste in music.


his max roach post from today just gave me an idea for thanksgiving.


doesn't this just make you want to stand around while the turkey is cooking, and start drinking gin & tonics? its on my list of things to do this thanksgiving.
