Hey look at me, I'm being social...

Instant mood lifter: STICKERS. Put ‘em here, put ‘em there, put ‘em everywhere! I just wish I could have made them scratch ‘n sniff (hard to get printed in case you’re interested). #stickers #soulfood #adhesivehappiness

Last looks of the mothership before we vanished into the night. #turrell #jamesturrell #spaceplace #skyscape #twightlightepiphany

Contemplative silence was not on the menu. Such is the case with almost anything that involves the presence of a toddler. But I can’t gripe about these views, even if we were on the outside looking in. These photos practically take themselves. #skyspace #twightlightepiphany #turrell #jamesturrell #takemetoyourleader

As if Monday’s weren’t snoozy enough, it’s also #nationalnappingday. Also, this is probably one of the coolest things I ever saw or ever will see. #australia #cuteandcozy #kangaroo #mamaandbaby #zzz #choosesnooze #builtinblanket #bestrest

Once upon a time some friends started a book club. I of course got lost in the non-existent details and set out to introduce the things no-one asked for, so I name the club and made an official book mark (Pulp Friction — Cool Books for Heated Discussion). We apparently read one book, which I only know because I wrote about it on my blog NINE years ago. Even having that for reference jogs no memories about the plot. Clearly it made an impression.

I still love the idea of book clubs, although in reality am still no so great at the follow through. That didn’t stop me from reworking the old design. Lately I’ve been having fun tearing apart things from the past and reworking them — injecting a new idea, cleaning up poor execution. It’s a calming exercise even if it doesn’t necessarily come out better.

If I were to start a book club I tried to think of something that would fit the bill. What would inspire a debate. I landed on a Woody Allen collection of short stories. Not because the stories themselves are likely to elicit much of a round table, but because of the author. I used to adore his writing, and there’s probably something in his work worth a conversation. However it’s his personal life that gets my wheels turning. He feels like the right example to frame a broader dialogue.
What happens when artistic contributions don’t align legally or ethically with the creator? Can we separate the two? Should we separate the two? At what point? How? It’s a topic that comes often between me and my husband and I still don’t really have an answer.....

Reveling in my weirdest train of thought, and dreamy things like Air and cherry blossoms. In this week’s newsletter I also challenge you to tell me where a topic randomly takes you. Let your mind go (chugga chugga). #locomotion #braingames #foolsteamahead #wordplayallday
