Cats panting.
I didn't leave the house today.
Cats panting.
I didn't leave the house today.
I'm really into this:
Somebody got a C.Lit drawing tattooed on their wrist.
I have been sorta depressed lately. And to top it off, I haven't been feeling well since I got back to NYC, so I haven't been able to work.
I don't like the feeling of knowing there is a lot of work to be done but being physically incapable of doing it.
(I mean, I could probably do some work, but there would most like be lots of mistakes as I battle the waves of dizziness and nausea and headaches that have been plaguing me lately. I'm all about realizing and respecting my limits.)
I really want a Boston Terrier. Two of them.
I'm going to keep saying that until it happens.
I found this picture of Helen Keller and a Boston Terrier:
When I was away for Thanksgiving I got to go to the Textile Museum in DC, which has a really nice contemporary Japanese fashion exhibit going on until April 2010.
It showcases the works and styles of Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, and Rei Kawakubo.
It's particularly interesting if you're into avant-garde anything (like I am) because it is amazing to see what these designers started producing at a time when no one else was doing anything like it. Very revolutionary.
I had to whip out my camera to remember the occasion---and to share with you of course:
(Miyake is known for his pleated garments. I strongly recommend you look these up. Also look up runway videos of these garments to see how they move!)
SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!
11.26.09
This is some vintage Craig (and technically not even a self portrait).
HOWEVER, this is SO APPROPRIATE because it's me at the age of seven or eight on Thanksgiving at my aunt's house.
And I'm hugging her pet turkey!
We decided the other day that watching this (Martin) Margiela show doesn't get old.
(Plus, they're playing an oldie-but-goodie.)
SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!

I'm a week late posting this, but here's the screen shot of the Daily Candy feature of Take Off Your Clothes:
SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!
11.12.09
Yes, finally back.
But all I do is work now, so I don't really have time to make myself look presentable.
This explains why I look so furry and frumpy. I probably haven't shaved in a month.
(My facial hair grows slowly.)
Good news:
Yesterday Ben and I were asked by our old roommate Talena if we could watch Osa the chihuahua this weekend while there is construction done in her new apartment! =)
To celebrate, I'm including some videos of Ben and I spending time with Osa.
This is Ben making Osa sing:
It's fun to make her howl because she purses her lips.
AND she starts to hack/cough like she's a smoker.
But my NUMBER ONE FAVORITE THING to do is this:
I'm still waiting for the day she leaps up and bites me in the face.
But I think she's too sweet for that.
I think I'm more of a dog person now.
I had a bad cat experience at my last apartment with Gordo. He was too needy. Shed too much. Ate too much, ate when nervous, ate until he vomited. It all made me not want to leave my room.
Dogs are so much better, I think.
In other good news, Ben J. was featured on Daily Candy yesterday!
It is an AMAZING write-up.
I am v. proud.
P.S.
I might do a self portrait later...
