I found this flower out on a walk this morning, and tucked it into the pocket of my windbreaker. I just remembered about it so got it out and put it under my digital microscope to take a look. I have some work that I should be doing, which makes it a perfect time for using my microscope to check out little flowers...

zebra on my patio
I once did an internship with a rug weaver in Oberlin Ohio who taught me that any woven rug can be cleaned successfully using plain water and a little pressure. I decided to clean this zebra print rug that I got from my sister-in-law so I draped it over two chairs on the back patio and sprayed it with the hose. I left it to dry and when I came back later, having forgotten it was there, I honestly thought there was a zebra on the other side of the door. It was just for a split second, and then I quickly figured out what was actually going on, but for that instant I believed a zebra had managed to find his way onto an enclosed patio in the middle of LA. Hmmm...

grapes
I have been buying grapes lately, because they are a good start to a lot of the different juices I've been making in my Vitamix. They are sweet and juicy and I throw them in with a half a pear, some kale, broccoli, pumpkin seeds, and pieces of mango for a pretty fantastic drink. I love my Vitamix. It is truly helping me take full advantage of the amazing produce available here in Southern California. *sigh*

my work space
I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm really really messy when I do work. I don't particularly like it- there's something so nice about a big clean desk and a lack of clutter and everything having its place... But inevitably my desk becomes a big old cluttered mess. Pliers, glue, scissors, electronics, fabric, receipts, charcoal, empty cups and glasses, sketchbooks, bills... I do think it's worth noting that in this photo of my current work space you can find 3 decorative unicorns. At least it has that going for it...

my fantasy football team
This past Monday, the day after the Superbowl, I asked my friend Ryan who had won. He told me that it definitely wasn't my fantasy football team. I'm surprised, since my fantasy football team is pretty strong; A salamander, two dogs, a duckling, and Hulk Hogan.

police sketches
Am I crazy or does this police sketch that I took a photo of outside the Boulder Police station look a bit like Bill Murray?
I took a photo of this one too. I'm not sure who it resembles, but it's pretty great...

bridge to nowhere
Today Chris and I hiked to the Bridge to Nowhere, a giant concrete bridge built in the 1930s that was originally meant to be part of a road through the San Gabriel Mountains. In 1938 there was a flood that washed out the road, which left the bridge standing awkwardly in what feels like the middle of nowhere. It's a 9 mile round trip hike up a river bed with lots of scrambling and river crossings. We saw big-horned sheep, lots of amazing rocks, and when we got back to the parking lot as the sun was setting we saw a guy getting pumped up for some evening solo hiking- the trunk of his car popped and some tinny hip-hop blasting as he laced up his shoes and stretched, sipping from something that looked like it was a McDonald's milkshake.
Then we drove back to Culver City and ate at the Hare Krishna temple. All in all, a good day...
