horoscopes are fun to read sometimes. this is an astrologer's forecast for aries this week. this shit just sounds out-of-this-world exciting, especially "...a trip to the moon in a gondola powered by firecrackers and wild swans."

-May you eat an unfamiliar dessert in a strange land at least once every three years.

-May you wake up to salsa music one summer morning and start dancing while you're still half-­asleep.

-May you spray-paint Rilke poems as graffiti on highway overpasses.

-May you mix stripes with plaids, floral patterns with checks, and yellowish-green with brownish-purple.

-May you learn to identify by name 20 flowers, 15 trees, 10 clouds and one extrasolar planet.

-If you bury your face in your tear-stained pillow and beg God to please send you your soul mate, may you not slur your words in such a way that they sound like "cell mate."

-May you dream of taking a trip to the moon in a gondola powered by firecrackers and wild swans.

-May you actually kiss the earth now and then.

-May you find many good excuses to say, as physicist Niels Bohr once did, "Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true."

 

flounder-er

I'd say the majority of my vacation involved seeing a lot of water, floating on water, paddling on water, and getting drenched on by water. I also went canoeing for the first time in my life. Word of advice: if you weigh 110-115 lbs, don't go canoeing by yourself when the winds-are-a-blowin' and the rain-is-a-comin'! The wind swept me and my canoe towards a bridge heading out to a river that started somewhere in Canada and probably ended somewhere in Montana. It was pretty embarrassing when the lady in charge of the canoes had to yell to me to paddle away from the bridge in front of a bunch of people standing on the bridge. Whatever, it was still so much fun.

These were taken in San Francisco though, not Canada.
Boats are pretty little big things, even the ones that have been through rough waters.

on the crazy train to looney island

on the cray train but it's aight 'cause that's how I roll. I choo-choo-choose youuu!

I get excited, like maniacally excited about some things.
Sometimes I feel like I should carry a paper bag with me 'cause I feel like I might hyperventilate from all the excitement. then I manage to calm the fuck down and it's like nothing ever happened. 

I'm already planning on where to travel to next...

To the fifth dimension and back!
