Tilikum Place Cafe.

If there is one thing I am *not* it's a photographer. These pictures do not do the restaurant any justice, but they're all I have so get over it? I tagged along with my mom last week, she had a casual consultation with a friend and bride-to-be at Tilikum Place Cafe. This place has been open for a while, but totally off my radar. It was great, and I will be back.

I've been away!

Last weekend I floated the river with 3 friends. There's not much else to say about it. It was warm, and nice, and now it's fall. Only 7 days ago!

My job ended a little over a week ago too and I've been surprisingly busy. Not much else to say about that either.

Disposable Camera.

 

The last image (with my sweet) from the disposable camera I had in May.

New one getting developed today!

Mens Ralph Lauren Vest.

 

I think this vest is the worst-worst-worst in this picture. But I keep thinking about 

how cute it'd be over a super short lightweight dress. Dark colors, oversized (but in the riiiight way)

and of the maroon/navy/black persuasion.

Have I lost it?

Je suis snob?

I may be a snob when it comes to distilled liquors, and "sparkling wine." But I also appreciate the subtle differences between Cooler Ranch and Nacho Cheese Doritos. So go fuck yourself?

 

1968

Rinke Dijkstra.

 

We went to the Seattle Art Museum and I saw some portraits by Rineke Dijkstra for the first time. 

Anniversaire.

My sweet boyfriend is celebrating his birthday today! What a lucky guy to have a summer birthday. For the occasion I made a strawberry+basil+vanilla ice cream cake. The combo is so damn good, you can't even believe it.

Sometimes.

Here we are.

While she was here we had the pleasure of meeting (rather, I kind of 3rd wheeled) up with Christopher. He lives a really lovely apartment, with one of the best views of the city I've ever seen.

Tous les garçons s'appellent Patrick.

 

 Charlotte et Veronique ou "Tous les garçons s'appellent Patrick"

This short film by Mr. Goddard was part of a series I watched on vhs about 5 years ago. I feel like it really influenced me in kind of a serious way. In short, I love it so much, and I was really thrilled to find it online. I tried taking a few screen shots, but they turned out really sub par.

Bunnies.

I have 3 best friends, and I'm lucky enough to live with one of them. I'm falling so in love with our little maison. It's going to be hard to live anywhere else.

 

Gigli Ormand, Girls

It's important to maintain positivity.

 

Nino Rota. 

The apple of my eye.

My sweet soul sister is in town.

Film.

 

On my list to watch..."Le Charme Discret De La Bourgeoisie"

1972

The Black Stallion.

 

An old favorite!

We need to Talk About Kevin.

I think this movie looks so good. I'm at my parents house right now looking through their shelves for the book.

Renovations.

I'm not sure if you can really call them 'renovations' if you're just painting the shit out of your apartment. But it really feels intense. We've been painting the floors since Sunday. It's hard, and we're trying so hard to be patient. Below are some photos from an article I found at New York Times Great Homes and Destinations that are very inspiring for me.

I wish.

I saw this on the internet and it made me so mad my tv stopped working (without warning) a month ago. I'd seriously be all over this shit. Sans doute.

Upstairs.

Our new neighbors. They seem really in to exercise which is to say, we have nothing in common.

I am so sick of talking to people. Where the hell is your neck?

 

I had dinner here a while ago and I'm really thinking about how good it was. Much better than pizza hut.

Cults.

A friend gave me this cd by the band Cults. I like the whole thing, and this song is nice.

New header.

 

Found this image on her tumblr.

I like.

 

Liza for Love Magazine. Found here.

We're moving.

Christo et Jeanne-Claude. Duh.

Beirut.

I remember when I worked at a grocery store and my bedroom was in a closet, I heard their music for the first time. And then I found a bunch of videos of them playing music in the streets of Paris and I wondered if I'd ever go there.

<3

Chinatown.

There's a lot going on in this picture I took of my friend Ulrika last night.

Rachel.

 

Cool lighting on her patio after dark.

Marimekko.

My good pal gifted me this fabric a while ago and I've been stumped on how to make good use of it.

Now that we're moving I've been a little inspired, and I came up with some great ideas...

Sandwich.

 

Last night I made...

Fried cabbage, Italian parsley, "sausage," and brown gravy.

What do we call this? German Bahn Mi? Thanksgiving sub?

todd mclellan: disassembly

Found on Honestly WTF

Not bad.

Good screen shot, girl.

Amis.

More to come. Some friends have expressed that the photos I took of them aren't the most "flattering."
Who has two thumbs and doesn't agree? This guy.
