I decided that yesterday would be a good day to attempt to spruce up my wardrobe for spring/summer. I felt as if I’d been wearing waaaay too much black/grey for the past couple of years and too many…
Coachella Sunday →
Arrived around 4 on Sunday and met up with our friends to see Lykke Li as our first show of the day. In my opinion this was one of the best sets of the weekend—I liked her album but absolutely loved…

I tackled one of the tasks I have been dreading for the wedding on Sunday, finding the dress. I can’t exactly put my finger on why it was so terrifying. Part of it was this fear that they would only…

A week in London →
Last Friday I made arrangements for last minute work travel. Turns out two projects I work on both had lots of things going on this week and all of the work was being done out of the London office so…
CBS, how I hate you. Let me count the ways. →
The start of March Madness means that I have to interface with CBS. This is why I hate you CBS: You are always showing the wrong game. With four to pick from, I guess the odds are pretty good that…

We stopped for burgers and I took this shot of Brad eating one. I happen to love it and am not sure why.

Our new apartment is moved into and almost feeling like a real home. I kind of go a little nuts when I’m living in place without Internet or my TiVo, which was all of last week due to Comcast and…

This weekend was pretty chill, but we accomplished quite a bit. B. and I managed to find an apartment that we both liked, had all the features we wanted, and was under budget—not quite an easy task!…

On the whole Project 365 thing. It was so much harder than I thought it’d be! And my fiance came back into town, which doubled my lack of motivation to go out and find pictures of stuff, so I called…

When B. mentions that he’ll be away for three weeks for work, I’m always “No big deal, three weeks is nothing.” Then, a bit over halfway through it, I realize that three weeks is a very long time!

In case the posted photograph of a ring wasn’t obvious enough for people, I got engaged on the 11th. It was really sweet and low-key, our nine month anniversary was on Thursday and B. had suggested…
