They remind me of Fleet Foxes and doesn't he look a tad like David Byrne? SEXY!






i love typos














this song does unspeakable things to me...

Visually driven

Some of the girls from school are going to take the Food Photography road and are leaving the kitchen behind. Wow, it goes to show you that not everyone wants to stay in a kitchen. I love that. and I love them for taking the class when they did. Everyone has definitely left an impression on me and I'm excited to see where we will all be in 5 years.

bothers me that the feet are a bit browned but it's still a pretty picture!

Can you believe it?

This is officially my last week of classes. Next week we have exams, the week after graduation and THAT'S IT. I fly back to San Antonio on December 20th...SO FUCKING EXCITED! The next chapter begins... in fear of jinxing myself I won't post that stuff here.

This Saturday my friend Laura is throwing her annual "Christmas the shit out of yourself party" so far, so good. My gear is going to be hilarious. Until next time.




as much as this creeps me the fuck out, i love it.

Please please please let me get what I want...

...right now that would be THIS:


mixed with champagne and some soda water.

Sweet, sweet jam.

Even though this song doesn't even come close to relating to my personal life, it's a pretty bad ass jam.

Soulfully yours

TONIGHT!

NELA.

My family got me a round-trip ticket to LA! I fly out there next week. YAAAAAAY!


See you soon, homeboy.

Listen II

I LOVE THIS VIDEO... "Some say that knowledge is something that you'll nevah have..." mmm mmm

null

This kid is most definitely...

...BOTHERED!

A time of confidences

Wow! It is colddd. It happened over night too. I love the essence of this weather though, the warm drinks, bonfires, scarves, coats, board games, s'mores and Simon & Garfunkel which I am listening to now.

Oh, and if you don't know, I GOT AN AMAZING INTERNSHIP!!!! I inquired a few months back and was told that they didn't offer anything short term. Completely bummed me out and I didn't try getting anything elsewhere. I went in and volunteered 3 days, each time 8 hours. Well Tuesday morning I got an email from the owner who asked me back for an 8 week internship. Meaning, whenever I go in during the week I will have a 17 hour day. I also need to get a bike since I don't feel comfortable walking under 3 bridges at 4 AM.

Far away...

My sleeping schedule is pretty...OUT OF FUCKING CONTROL! Oh internet, you are my trustee pal. Thanks for keeping me company.

Next week is gonna be busy. I have two 6 hour stages before school, Anna's dinner on Wednesday at some French bistro and then my Aunt and her best friend Steph get here Thursday night!

I haven't driven is about 120 days...but I'm making up by taking a 22 hour road trip to LA! YUP, YUP. LA bound January 5th. I shall be back on or around January 24.


Never knew they had this cover. haha and here I thought I knew all their stuff. Sexxxy.

playing by heart

I am more than halfway done with my program, meaning that in eight weeks I will be back in San Antonio. About to embark on phase 2. Shit is getting real.


HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THAT? I am both in awe and inspired. The girl who made this just graduated from my school.


Today was gloomy, and sure enough now it's raining like crazy.


My first tiered buttercream cake EVER.


Lemon curd tarts


Margarita night. HUGE ICE + Anna


That's what the night resulted in.


Deerhunter last night with Laura. Excellent show.

I want list:

Bummed

Very bummed about missing FUN FUN FUN Fest in Austin this year. So many fun bands! I was most bummed about Best Coast, Deerhunter and holy fuck! WASHED OUT! Luckily I'm going to see Deerhunter tomorrow night but still.

LOVE THIS:


Going to start posting, a lot. get ready.

yehhhh

I miss this but I don't miss being 18 yrs old.

This is what I'm talkin' about!

fuck you, sinead.

I've missed you since the moment you hopped onto that cab.

someone better PINCH me!

So busy! and loving it. My birthday was sweet, it included a sushi dinner along with the company of about 7 friends plus their guests and my roommates. So I am now 26 and woah, shit is right.

Tomorrow I'm taking a trip to the post office. Unfortunately, I will not be sending out chocolates until next week but you will all get some goodies! I LOVE YOU ALL!

The truth

"If a woman ain't happy with herself, she gonna bring nothing but pain to every-fucking-body around her"

'sup da'?

Trouble loves me...

I just got off the phone, did a little catching up with Goretti. Good convos bring on a good mood. We got to talking about buying homes and making investments. I know it sounds super "grown up" but I can't wait to buy a house. It's funny, cause Jen and I LOVE the show House Hunters but right now I'm watching this show called "Property Virgins" and this couple is buying a house in Austin...gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can't wait.

The more I think about it the more I want to buy a place in California. Look at this home and feel its vibe. LOVE LOVE LOVE!













Remember how I said we were going to get Sushi last friday? Well, we did... I finished an entire bottle of wine during dinner and really the rest is a blur. The food was so good and the company was definitely fun so we are doing it again tomorrow!


This is my pal Jackie. Such a funny, funny guy.


Anna and Aja


School pictures

Today before our Ice cream lecture. You'z a fool if you think ice cream is just sucrose, milk and yolks. A FOOL. Tons of math involved.


Ma girls - Aja and Anna


Vanilla - Earl Grey Ice cream. I think my partner switched the grey for gray. eh. Anyway, this stuff was YUMMY.


This is not finished. It's hazelnut/chocolate ice cream sandwich. Oh yes, I'm in my ice cream class now btw.


incomplete parfait. This is raspberry coulis, with a filling of vanilla ice cream and chocolate ice cream... gahhhhh so good! I sprayed the outside with chocolate for a matte finish and topped it off with some simple decorations.


Apparently this is big in France. Not my thing. It's covered in vanilla whip, pieces of french meringue and inside ya have apricot and cherry sorbet... which are incredibly delicious!
