dailies 12/12-12/18.

tomorrow starts the last week of school before winter break and i am SO READY to jump on a plane the moment the bell rings on thursday! here are the dailies:

 sunday, december 12th: "sundays why are you always the worst?"

 monday, december 13th: "even if we totally fail at our respective careers, at least we can make a killer pizza."

 tuesday, december 14th: "one foot in front of the other."

 wednesday, december 15th: "planning for change."

 thursday, december 16th: "wow it was painfully today obvious how new i am."

 friday, december 17th: "slowly regaining control."

saturday, december 18th: "celebrating our own non-traditional baltimore christmas."

perfect early-christmas involved a series of baltimore staples: brunch at miss shirley's (margherita  omelette and pumkin cheesecake-stuffed french toast) and then take-out from iggie's pizza (gorgonzola pear, pesto-spinach-tomato with goat cheese, and duck with asparagus/red onion---WHOA) while watching season one of the wire. since christmas happens before my next dailies post, everybody have a safe, warm, and happy holiday!

dailies 10/3-10/9.

hi everyone--- it's sunday, which means it's dailies day! despite a string of truly heinous suckfests, there were enough nice moments for the sum of the week to end up in the plus column. yesterday i also went to see the new exhibition at the american visionary art museum, "what makes us smile?" which was great! it was great to be a real human for a hot second.

 sunday, october 3rd: "first cup of hot zeke's at the farmer's market means fall is really here."

 monday, october 4th: "practicing my literal and metaphorical tiptoeing."

 tuesday, october 5th: "hey, everyone: you're nice."

 wednesday, october 6th: "losing focus."

 thursday, october 7th: "OH SHIT OVERSLEPT"

 friday, october 8th: "reclaiming some semblance of a personal life."

saturday, october 9th: "just because is my new favorite holiday."

i also snagged a whole bunch of new tunes this week, so here's a link to give ben fold's collaboration with nick hornby (author of high fidelity, about a boy, etc) a listen: from above, off the new album 'lonely avenue'. have a good week, everybody!

dailies: 1/10-1/16.

dailies, dailies everywhere! in a perfect world, i could upload these more frequently than once a week. we'll see if i can pull that off sometime in the near future (which is to imply that i will have MORE time to blog during student teaching, a hilarious, hilarious joke), but for now, here's this past week's daily illustrations:

sunday, january 10th: "WOW dailies i've missed you."

monday, january 11th: "our computers can be friends like we are."

tuesday, january 12th: "occupying my hands doesn't prevent me from hyper-ventilating."

wednesday, january 13th: "good talks bring me closer to you."

thursday, january 14th: "keeping secrets almost makes me feel guiltier than telling them."

friday, january 15th: "'the planets are not aligned.' 'the planets hate me.'"

saturday, january 16th: "i really want to find my person."
