spring break update: it's over.

dear mom,

home was great! thanks for cooking me my favorite dish--mac 'n' cheese. can you believe how warm it was? i got so sunburnt, i'm glad you found the aloe lotion for me though. it was cool and soothing. it was really a break to remember, wasn't it? i hope you figure out my taxes soon, you know i'm no good with money. you're the best mom, sorry for leaving that half eaten cake out the night before i left. see you this summer.

xoxo

monkey trouble

recently, i had the pleasure of rewatching one of the best films about a friendship between a little girl and her monkey. really though, monkey trouble has it all: comedy, tragedy, action, gypsies, etc. the cinematography is beautiful, and the risky camera angles are truly avant garde. how thora birch didn't receive oscar recognition for this performance is truly beyond me. if you don't believe me just check out this final scene where eva and dodger are reunited. WARNING: spoiler alert!!!

imagine this as embroidery
