Not only are the landscape, city and people (the Icelanders and my fellow residents) amazing here, but my living situation is pretty top notch. I have this wonderful little room. We’re eating a lot of dinners as a group. The ten of us residents share a kitchen and many nights someone or a pair of [...]
…I’m on a bit of a blogging hiatus brought to you by 1) the beautiful spring weather 2) my new friend running (See why? This is the glory I see on my epic runs!) 3) the end of the school year (check out my independent study student Julie‘s excellent projects from her solo exhibition!) 4) [...]
Last week, Mark and I went on a date in Ann Arbor. I picked him up from work and we headed out in the rain to the an exhibition that was up at the U-M Institute for the Humanities, which was curated by our pal Amanda Krugliak. The exhibition was PASTPERFECT/FUTURE TENSE at the Institute [...]
If I’ve been remiss in blogging, it’s only because I’ve been blogging. I’ve been helping Mark with Irreverent Vegan a lot lately. There’s so much food-related stuff to do this time of year, what with putting the gardens to bed, buying up boatloads of tomatoes at the farmer’s market for canning, making pesto from end-of-season [...]
With the hectic beginning of the school year, I am finding that I need certain elements in my life to keep me sane. These are constants, but somehow I always forget about them in the chaos of life and keep discovering them when I need them most. I need quiet time, space to think, space [...]
I was fortunate to guest blog about none other than… rings (of course!) on my friend Lauren’s blog Dear Golden. She also has a top notch etsy shop by the same name through which she proffers vintage wares, and I am guilty of taking home a lot of the bounty. I suppose I could have [...]
Apparently a lot can happen in a 36-hour whirlwind trip to Toronto. We left late Friday morning and returned to Ypsi by 11 p.m. the next night. The occasion was our friend Simon’s visit to see us this weekend. He had never been to Toronto and since it’s such a vegan-friendly place, we decided to [...]
Sunday we hosted a vegan brunch at our house. Our friends Ryan and Val brought tons of good eats too. Mark has already posted about it over at Irreverent Vegan. Ryan and Val did a great write-up on it (from which I nabbed this photo) on their blog i’m just doing this thing. Their about [...]
So, that last post would have gotten out of hand if I had included everything I want to write and show, so I decided to break it into two posts. And now for part 2! This year’s poster and t-shirt were designed by the amazing and talented Melissa Dettloff (aka Mad Dog) who just happens [...]
So like a carnival sweeping through town, the Shadow Art Fair descends on Ypsilanti, Michigan twice yearly. The summer SAF in July always has an especially festive air, as there are longer daylight hours (as opposed to the December SAF) in which to enjoy it and the opportunity to spill into the Corner Brewery‘s outdoor [...]
