I’ve been fooling around with mixing my own perfume lately – I guess it’s more like cologne or something. Anyway, I procured three tiny atomizer bottles and some cheap vodka. Using various essential oils and extracts already in my possession, I’ve been mixing up my own blends of olfactory wizardry. So far I’ve done one […]

A tutorial from your very own in-house, non-smelly hippie. I take a lot of care not to be a stinky girl. It is very important to me to not smell like an old goat. People generally like you better and take you seriously when they can comfortably get within 3 feet of you and still […]

For as much goofing around with the Internet as I do, I’m not what you’d call proficient. I don’t know how to code. I use WordPress templates that pretty much walk you through any minor modifications you might want to make. Until today. Joel had been asking me for help with the Dirty Kanza 200 […]

I irrationally adore (and detest) many things. One of my irrational favorites is a deep and abiding love of the number 9. I tell you that in my book, 9 is the best number. It’s square and tidy. It’s made up of three, three times, and three is my next favorite number. When you multiply […]

Yesterday, I was so stoked about my Minnie Pearl dress that I didn’t really go into how I got this rig together. So, tonight, I’m gonna ‘splain it all! This past winter, Joel was helping Calvert shift some stuff around in his studio and Calvert sent Joel home with a big ol’ sack of random […]

Yesterday, I was ratting around in the garden picking weeds and taking pictures of some of the zinnias, when I noticed a little brown snail intently exploring a fallen leaf. So first, I snapped a few pictures of it, because I thought it was oddly cute. Then I realized, “duh” with this new version of […]

IMG_0511, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. I pushed my way through a home-made revolving door into a diaphanous, amorphous, rustling pink antechamber. It was not unlike being encapsulated in a gigantic chewing-gum bubble. This was the entrance to Jaime Burkhart’s conceptual installation project, “Great Accommodations!“ The piece takes its form as a large, inflatable maze, a […]

The formidable prow of my trashboat veered toward a parked car. I corrected, and the whole thing lurched toward the oncoming lane. I corrected again and nearly lumbered straight into the curb in my own lane. I could see that this was going to be a very long half mile ahead of me, and I […]

Just some little bits and pieces of thoughts of late: The other night when I was coming home from work, I had one of those absolutely glorious and magical rides that just makes you happy to be alive and pedalling. It has been surprisingly cool and rainy lately and there’s quite a lot of marshy […]
