It’s not exactly the same thing as having something pop right out of the camera after taking a picture and waiting for it to develop right there in front of your eyes. I think I would miss the anticipation and the fact that I cannot “edit” or “choose” which picture I like. Instant is without thought process and, to me, less regret.
But I still like the size of the...

XV I Like For You To Be Still
by Pablo Neruda; translated by W.S. Merwin
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent, and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you. It seems as though your eyes had flown away and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.
As all things are filled with my soul you emerge from the things, filled with my soul. You are like my soul, a butterfly of a dream, and...

The Business of Being Born
This is something I probably would have posted on my other site, but in the end, I think this is something that more women/people should know about.

Interesting documentaries tend to have higher priority in my Netflix queue. Yes, even before chick-flicks. I’m just a boring person like that.
I came across The Business of Being Born sometime in March. It’s a documentary by Ricki...

WatchThe Proof Is in the Pudding
I have all these grand ideas of things or projects I want to do and either tend to not find the time to do them, or lose interest in the middle of doing them leaving them unfinished or incomplete.
One of the things on my summer “to do” list is to get back into music.

On a related note, another thing on my “to do” list is to complete things...

Had to work a partial daytime shift today for training. Haven’t been in this early for over 5-6 years. Weird seeing the building in full daylight.

New toy. I know, I shouldn’t have. But it was cute. And I’ve never had an instant camera before. Film is not dead. Yet.

Lost and Found in my Heart
As much as I tend to focus on the negative side of things, sometimes I am reminded that the world is “half-full” of wonderful people.

I was going through my “library” and came across a book I happen to have two copies of (one was a gift). It was strange that I picked this one over the other to sort of sift through. The copy I choose happened to have a slip of paper...

Postcrossing →
I can’t remember what it was, but I somehow got started collecting postcards. I buy them everywhere I go.
A few years ago, I signed up for postcardx.net. I’m sure I’m no longer on that database as every so often there seems to be this mass-purge of entries. I think I’ve gotten about 20 (?) from that site.
Needless to say, I was happy to come across this site. One of...

Not Yet
(I believe this is from third grade. The weird thing is that I can remember almost everyone’s first name in this picture.)
The other night, I stopped by my parents’ house to “get rid” of some stuff and make more room. When I moved out, I really didn’t “completely” move out. I had left a lot of stuff from my childhood—stuffed animals, pictures,...

Ignorance Is Still Bliss
A few nights ago, one of my co-workers/old team mates, Ruben, came to visit me (late at night, I am my own island ten aisles over from anyone else) to talk politics.
He is probably the only one I could have a decent political discussion with at work. It’s not because it’s “inappropriate” to discuss politics (as working opposite hours of Human Resources, we do not stand on...
