please release new music and do a US tour. it would make me ridiculously happy. i know you haven't released a new album in about 5 years, so this is a perfect time.

fun with drawing

last night, arson zarley and i played a game where he named an animal and i had to draw it. i drew a dog, bird, turtle, hamster, and a deer. below is the deer. don't act like it's not amazing. i am a terrible/awesome artist.

if you like, i can draw a picture for you too.

omg! cute puppy

little butterball cries all the way down the stairs. it's so sweet that i could vom.

roosters seem fun

intense abstract/philosophical question of the day

after a long day at work, what do you do to make sure that you're still alive and kicking? how do you live outside the box?

i'm starting to think that the only way for me to do this is through creative outlets like writing, drawing, sculpture, photography, etc. (exercise tends to help with this too.)

currently, emails + paperwork + television = i feel like i'm in a coma. i'm not sure if it's possible to live outside the box every single day, but i'd like to try.

happy birthday stuart!!

i hope that you have a wonderful birthday filled with lots of modeling and catwalks. you are awesome. enjoy your day!
