Day 17 — An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)

Gregory Crewdson

this is the first image that made me take notice. 

Given that a lot of his work is untitled it is rather a hard task to find images on the web.My favourite image is from the series Natural Wonder 1992-1997 published in "Dream of Life"

This is the image- but this scan does not do it any justice.

Day 16 — A song that makes you cry (or nearly)

Hole- Northern Star

Day 15 — A fanfic

Never heard this term so I had to google it. I can't post about this as it doesn't apply to me- I have never read one.

Day 14 — A non-fictional book

Shit My Dad Says

Justin Halpern

Laugh out loud funny

Day 13 — A fictional book

Veronika Decides to Die- Paulo Coelho 

 I didn't much take to The Alchemist but I really enjoyed the story of Veronika who decided to try to kill herself but ends up in a mental institution and is told she has a week to live.I caught the movie adaptation of this book the other night on Foxtel- it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

Day 12 — Whatever tickles your fancy

Yesterday Darby tried to grab a salt and vinegar shape out of my hand- She is definetly her mother's daughter.

Day 11 — A photo of you taken recently

First walk around our neighbourhood

Day 10 — A photo of you taken over ten years ago

This was taken around 1998 or 1999- I was modelling for a friend- goth princess art assignment

Day 09 — A photo you took

This is not hard- I take photos everyday

Columbia River-taken from our balcony at the Cannery Pier Hotel, Astoria, Oregon, USA 2010

Day 08 — A photo that makes you angry/sad

My wedding reception table flowers- what a disaster

Day 07 — A photo that makes you happy

Another milestone reached- starting solids! Darby really wants to feed herself

Day 06 — Whatever tickles your fancy

Start Rant:




I don't understand parents that decide to pierce their baby girls ears. What is with this-let babies be babies. Did they ask for this? No!

Day 05 — Your favorite quote

People = Shit

Day 04 — Your favorite book

It is very hard to narrow it down to one book but here goes my favourite for the past couple of years.

domino The Book of Decorating

This is a classic, covers all areas and you can keep going back to it again and again.

Day 03 — Your favorite television program

My favourite tv program right at the moment is Offspring. This current season just finished (sob) so I will probably have to wait until next year to watch it again. I love Nina's fashion soo much.

Day 02 — Your favorite movie

Like my favourite song I also have a few favourite movies. My most favourite movie from childhood actually inspired a part of our 2010 USA trip.

The Goonies

Here are some location shots

Mikey's House

County Jail

Ecola State Park

Haystack Rock- Cannon Beach

Day 01 — Your favorite song

Or should it be favourite (lol). My top 10 favourite songs always change depending on my mood and season. The one song I always go back to is:

Hollywood- Nada Surf

Never heard of it? Good!
