Bossy Kitsch
When did kitsch get to be so bossy?
Bossy butter dish, bossy platter, bossy serving spoon. Not pictured: bossy mug and cereal bowl.
And a Dolce Valentine’s Day to You
Is it true? Are dreams like paper? And if valentines are paper, are they like dreams, which are like paper? Be careful out there. Ciao.
The Giddy Thrill of Shadows and Saturday Mornings
In which the first light on a Saturday morning makes me giddy.
‘Sup, Buttercup?
'Sup, Buttercup? Dried safflower blossoms, a cut ranunculus, and an anthurium leaf atop the dresser this morning, reminding me it's a sunny day.

Small Faces
All the leaves fell off our plumeria. I kept them and by the time they had dried, the first narcissus of the bulbs I planted last month had bloomed.
Gone Out The Window
Where'd You Go, Bernadette. Dir. Richard Linklater. 2019
In this film we learn it's okay to take a detour and do something else you're good at. But if you do it for too long instead of the other thing you're good at, what you were doing in the first place, it will make you crazy.
If you watch the trailer, you pretty much have seen the movie. But you haven't seen Cate Blanchett acting for two hours in something you haven't seen her in before. I say this because they could cast her in the role of paint drying and I'd hope for a few more coats.

2019 Leaves
