LIVING FOR THE WEEKEND

MY WEEK IN PHOTOS: FEBRUARY 18–24, 2019!

Pizza and ice cream with friends, pampering the money tree, big mud balls, seeing Robyn at the Palladium, and a thrift haul.

Enjoy!

Starting the week tracking a huge beautiful cloud across the sky.

Four recent finished pieces from pottery—one little dog bowl, one tea cup, one crooked smaller tea cup, and a what I’d use as a rice bowl.

Battle zone

Trying to edit photos that were shot in a dark room and on this bright day (thank you, windows) all I could see was myself in the reflection

Draped my blanket over the monitor and myself, now I have my own personal editing cave.

Bundled up and ready to head out to meet friends.

I see you

Little bit of a wait at Roberta’s so we sit at the bar.

Bee sting pizza, honey and chili sauce on yum yum

Eating my honeycomb then watching Kiki eat her icecream

Trying to be brave and pack up my clay tools that I got for Christmas. I feel too amateur still to be using some of these tools since I don’t really know what they are for. Need to be doing more research…

Woke up early to finish the last episode of Sharp Objects which I have been slowly obsessing over the last week.

Are you sick of these window shots yet

Sometimes he’s pretty cute

Off-Friday, started the morning with some photo editing and moved on to some bacon and eggs.

And now we continue to fuss over the money tree

We basically took the tree out, loosened up the potting soil, added a pan with gravel, etc. We are determined to make the money tree love us.

Had some quiet puzzle time

Orchids looking pretty happy

Went to Blum and Poe to see “Parergon: Japanese Art of the 1980s and 1990s”

Mud, clay, and balloon balls

“Artists began to explore subversive artistic languages and integrate underground subcultures into their practice using a variety of media, ranging from experimentations in electro-acoustic music, geopolitical and conceptual photography, and appropriations of advertisement culture.”

Love these photographs of man-made geological interventions

Tried flamin’ hot doritos, love the flavor (duh) not sure about the dorito form though.

Sufi lurking

Decided to use my huge lasagne noodles from Eataly to make a pasta, but I think it would have been even better with a creamer, thicker, stickier sauce.

Sunday morning

Went to Caveman Kitchen for some Peruvian

Oh HELL yes. Shared a burger and some lomo saltado with the delicious green sauce.

Zach had to stop at Guitar Center, so I popped over to a nearby thrift shop to poke around

Burrito or wallet

Whoops, bought a few things! It all came out to $30 or so—got a picnic basket, a basket for dog toys, a set of mugs (I DIDN’T NEED MORE BUT HERE I AM), and Disneyland Tiki Room salt and pepper shakers.

So cute

The $1 basket did the trick of holding all the dog toys

Starting From Here to Eternity by mortician, funeral director, and death positive activist Caitlin Doughty (finally after having it sit on my nightstand forever). She wrote Smoke Gets in Your Eyes which I really enjoyed, this is her second book.
