with the moon I run

current book

ChiRunning by Danny Dreyer

is reading about running like dancing about architecture?

will I ever tire of the "is x-ing about y like dancing about architecture" comparisons?

current shame-inducing guilty pleasure

I’m not so sure it induces shame as much as it’s something I don’t (and shouldn’t) feel inclined to brag about. not that I tend to feel inclined to brag about anything. but I’m really digressing…

trying to take photos while driving. at night. I have my reasons. which will likely make it into an entry with accompanying photos in the near future.

anyway, guess who accidentally left the flash on at one point last night? while behind another vehicle…

current favorite colors

spring green. pale pink.

current favorite food

fruit. especially melons.

current favorite drink

okay, maybe this is the shame-inducing guilty pleasure…

sugar-free red bull.

and water. always with the water.

but not mixed with the red bull.

(is it incestuously meta that I got there via StumbleUpon?)

current outfit

black zippered hoodie over a pale pink camisole and black capris with a pink stripe on both sides. I am not currently wearing the flip flops that match (ref: bike photos). I’ve got sparkly black ones on instead.

current fragrance

there is actually potential for a complicated answer here. but we’ll go simple: Clinique Happy.

current wish list

a darker tan (a [very] windy 41 degrees does not really foster the desire to expose more skin than the aforementioned ensemble allows. and the reasoning for the above/current ensemble in such conditions was that I braved similar, though colder [38 degrees], last night in less clothing [skirt, thin sweater, strappy sandals] and, you know, no sun, without much issue, though for a shorter duration. but still… this should’ve been nothing. you know you are amazed by my logic.)

to pet a duck

that the blurry red smiley face on the back of my hand would go away. but I guess if you’re going to have ink on your hand looking like a rash from a distance, it’s best that it looks happy, right?

current needs

a hot shower (guess who’s cold?)

more ice water

a fresh application of lip balm

… all things easily, and soon to be, remedied.

current music

Lykke Li – Tonight (acoustic) | because the lovely Ms. Kate totally got me started on it

Wonderwall as covered by Brad Doggett | because my cover love is insatiable and I dig this one

Land Down Under as covered by Jared Campbell | because it’s Jared Campbell and it’s awesome

current anticipation

a straight week full of warm (enough) sunshine (or that was the case the last time I’d checked the weather forecast, at least)! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM!!!

dude. you’d think I’ve been living underground for months now or something. I wasn’t even in New York for the whole winter, and it was a fairly mild one, all things considered. but it’s like I’ve been going through sunshine withdrawals and they’re making me cranky.

current triumph

let’s see…

I’ve conquered a childhood feat, discovered that arnica, semi-consistently applied, actually does have a great effect on diminishing bruises – because there are better reasons to be called "peach," been having scads of those "figuring life out" talks with my mom/bff, learning to live in the sweet spot more consistently.

so, basically, life is good!

current bane of my existence

it’s not so much a bane, but something I’ve noticed that I’m now contemplating with no real end game in mind yet.

having just been sucked into Tweeting (so I don’t know if it’s just a phase yet or not), I’ve come to realize a.) I have profiles ALL OVER THE FREAKING INTERNET! b.) there is little consistency in the usernames in a broad, overall sense, though it does come together in bits and phases – the last 5 or so years have seen me bouncing between two, for the most part – and, c.) I’m wondering if I should consolidate/rename where possible, or just come to accept it as it is.

current indulgence

uh… sugar-free red bull. heh. 🙂

seriously, I’ve gone through a lot recently.

also, time and space to figure it out.

and late night (or very early morning) showers, right before bed. it’s the next best thing to fresh-out-of-the-dryer sheets.

current blessings

being alive

loving life

good music

good family

good friends

current mood

elated

I am so relating! You are the bombastic awesome….pink bunny suits! And yay for ham.

April 12, 2009

i was totally thinking of you when i posted that video. i share your dirty love of red bull, though i’m not usually strong enough to go for the sugar free. my favorite “wonderwall” cover is and will always be ryan adam’s version, but this one is pretty tasty. kudos to the kid for wearing that hat and not dying of shame.

April 12, 2009

yikes! ryan adams’ version. couldn’t leave the typo alone, even hours later.

April 12, 2009

I love the “is x-ing about y like dancing about architecture” comparisons. Also, I love reading about running. It’s fun and inspiring. I really like that your life is good 🙂

ryn: You have no idea just how happy it makes me that someone is enthusiastic about my decluttering! I needed that!

April 13, 2009

aaaa I can’t wait to see the nighttime photos!! *hugs*

April 13, 2009

I am dying for some sunshine after having SNOW and then RAIN and then razor-sharp wind. NEED SPRING KTHXBAI.Also? I totally Tweet & you should tell me where to stalk you.

April 13, 2009

ugh. Ok, I can dig the jazzy wonderwall as a pleasant variation on an improvable vocal but … one should not mess with Men At Work. if it ain’t broke, etc. And that was my two cents. Peace out. PS: further to cover love, jose gonzalez – you probably already know about him, but I’m making sure : )

Loved this survey, and love the links; thanks for sharing

I think a duck would be fun to have, unless you like eating duck. Which I do. Which is why I’m going to get a chameleon or a pygmy hedgehog. What are you going to call your duck? Ryn: Lancome; juicy glace in orange barbade (it’s more like coral with a gold sheen to it) – favourite lip balm/gloss ever, it plumps and moisturises!

April 15, 2009

ryns: thank you, love! I adore your curls. And this entry. And Kings of Leon 🙂

Your lip balm need would be even more easily remedied if you kept some next to your computer. (And thus the secret to my insanely kissable lips is revealed.) With gobs of love/lust from your other shame-inducing guilty pleasure,
