I was so enjoying looking at my desktop background today, I thought I’d share it. I took this picture last October from the Brooklyn Bridge promenade in Dumbo. Just click the picture to save the full-size image.
Enjoy!

I thought this would be a fitting segue.
Why on earth I thought this year, my second year of law school, would be a good idea to try to knit everyone in my family Christmas gifts, I have no idea. But here goes. I only started knitting a few months ago, so I’m not even that fast yet, and homework/outlining is really eating into my knitting time. But here goes anyway. Above are three projects I’m working on now: a scarf for my dad, a hat for my mom, and a ruffly scarf for my stepmom.
I always, as a rule, have three knitting projects ongoing. I am a serial starter, and if left to my own devices, would have about seventeen projects started by now and none finished. But if I limit myself to one at a time, I get bored and it winds up half-finished as well. Three is perfect–I make sure they are different enough to keep me interested, and the desire to start the next project acts as a great incentive to finish one I’m working on.

Hello, anyone who is still there (were you ever there?) I’m sorry for the prolonged, unexplained hiatus. I guess you could say this blog was having an identity crisis.
You see, I love reading other people’s blogs, and I really wanted to take part in what seems like a nurturing, vivacious community. The only problem was that I had nothing to write about. I figured if I kept posting things that caught my fancy, I’d eventually figure out what it was I wanted to say. Only I didn’t. So I stopped saying anything.
Well, today I decided what about me I wanted to share: me. What I do. What I want to do. A big part of my life is about doing. Making. Creating. I think that’s why I named this blog what I did. So this, from now on, is about my life, which is sure to include at least the following:
Note that this is not an exhaustive list, just what I came up with today in my Constitutional Law class (an aside: this is the reason professors really shouldn’t let students use laptops in class.)
It took me a while to come to terms with just how navel-gazing this blog will really be; I mean, a blog about my insular life when there are so many more important things in the world? Maybe, but ultimately, I write this blog for me, as a record of my life (as it is and as I hope it to be). You are welcome to read along, too, but consider yourself warned.

i could keep going…
these amazing color slides, commissioned by the farm security administration during the great depression, are stunning. they have completely changed my perspective. the depression looks real, or real as seen through a hollywood movie.

Suffering from a drought of inspiration. Most likely brought on by too many bad Netflix Watch Instantly movies. We’re working through it, though, so stay tuned.

Long overdue: rap anthem for discount department store Ross.
I can only hope this will be stuck in my head all day.

Going to meet this man today. And by “meet” I mean volunteer for the event, put on by the organization I’m interning for.
Dreaming of walking barefoot in the park and parties at West Egg and electric horsemen.
