Cozy Under Covers



*images found on googleimage*
My first weekend at school and it was spent.....
IN BED. I was very ill all weekend with the flu. I spent hours upon hours sleeping, waking up, rolling over, sleeping again, watching sex and the city seasons [1,2,3,6], watched valentines day, slept, woke up, drank a gallon of orange juice through a straw, slept, watched when in rome, rolled over, put a sweatshirt on, took my temperature, took my sweatshirt off, drank gingerale through a straw, watched the fell asleep notebook. so it was quite a fascinating weekend if i do say so. Today, feeling achey from all of the laying around, i ran some errands and went and printed some photos in the darkroom. I was getting a case of cabin fever so it felt good to get out of the house. It did feel nice to forget about school all weekend and relax.
These photos are very reminiscent of my first weekend of senior year spent at URI- fun stuff.

Happy Birthdayyy Timmmyyy





**not my images- taken from www.weheartit.com

Happy birthday to my dear friend gracey (timothy) although we share a congruent fear of aging, im still so excited to wish her a happy one! grace and i met in 2005 and became instant best friends essentially hip and hip. besides having different classes in our daily routine, we shared many other things such as getting coffee in le morning which switched from sugar free vanilla non fat lattes to americanos to all different sorts of coffees. we sat on a rock wall between classes as we watched people walk by (of course with no judgment whatsoever, well maybe on Halloween when capes and witches were involved) anyway- we'd reunite at either the gymbo to flip through US magazine on a treadmill or crunches on the mats or at the H where we'd sip tea an soup, amongst other things (or even smearing peanut butter on gardettos if were talking freshman year). we spent weekends drinking mccormy, eating at Austins, shopping at cira, rofling in the H, dreaming of dp dough or bcb and attending football games. i could probably talk forever about the amazing times that timmy and i had but this blog would go on forever. so i want to wish my bestey gracey a happy HAPPY birthday and want her to know how much i cherish her as a friend. growing older and moving farther apart of course things change but i am so lucky to still have grace in my life and feel comforted knowing i can always lean on her.
These pictures are some I found that reminded me of the free spirited, fun natured friendship that we have :)

WACOM tablet










SO my brother jamie had an extra tablet lying around because the one he has now is SICKKKK- so I am using it for now and i am falling deeply in love with it. Using a laptops mousepad or even a mouse can prove to be the most difficult utensil when trying to trace around certain objects in pictures or getting down tot he nitty gritty details of a photograph. A tablet has a pen-like utensil and a pad that you draw on so it makes it much easier to have control over what you are tracing around. i love it, i love it a lot! It is going to help me out a lot in the future! :)

JUICEEEEEEE



we heart it knows whats up with their whole album of juice-related photographs. this is one of my faovritas! :)

Photography

We all die.
My goal isn't to live forever, my goal is to create something that will.
