peruvian dog?

it’s ironic, considering right now Booker can’t even walk right now (she slipped two discs and is currently all drugged up and breaking my heart), but how cute are dogs on motorcycles?

in Lima was my favorite neighborhood.

i think this was an art installation…on my last day there this cool wall was gone.

Frances Ha

Isaac and I got to see Frances Ha last night, and a Q&A with Director Noah Baumbach and his co-writer and star, Greta Gerwig. Isaac and I both really liked it, and I was so happy to see it on the big screen. Greta Gerwig was awesome and her co-star Mickey Sumner (yes, Sting’s daughter) was so so good.

on the blog

my picture’s up on the Urban blog for the Hattie Stewart event a couple months ago. Read more about her and her work here.

Not everything is embarrassing

but Isaac DID ask me recently if I thought everything was:) I only sweat the small stuff….which means more stuff:)

love this song.

I might be having my best day ever (in a while)

and so of course there’s all these cute pictures of Greta Gerwig wearing Band of Outsiders on the internet.

Ellen Raskin

was the COOLEST.

She grew up in Milwaukee and graduated from the University of Wisconsin (this is a cool-girl pedigree if I’ve ever ~~seen~~ lived it), and she wrote some of the best children’s books ever, like my favorite, The Westing Game

The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon (I mean Noel)

The Tattooed Potato and Other Clues, and Figgs & Phantoms.

She also did all the graphic design and illustration for these books, and, as I just learned today, she designed other book covers as well, including one of the most iconic: this awesome Wrinkle In Time cover.

The University of Wisconsin has the Westing Game Manuscript...something to check out the next time I’m there.

The UW site also has more info about Raskin than anywhere else I’ve seen online. She died in the early 80s, and her daughter runs a foundation to help cats.
