THERES NO PLACE LIKE HOME

NO SLEEP TILL DETROIT.

so im going home in 4.5 days and i couldnt be happier. i miss the tobester already but he gets it. its been two years since i was in michigan and that should be a crime considering how much i love the mitten. i also get to go to my recently deceased grandfathers house and pay my proper last respects as well as enjoy the house i spent some of the best days of my childhood in. saying 'up north' in suburban detroit is the equivalent of saying 'on the cape' in boston. everyone has a summer house there and you dont quite get it unless you are from there. home! home! home! as geena davis said in beetlejuice to get the hell out of the model that alec baldwin built i will make the most out of the roughly 72 hours i have with my family.
for now i will play catch up because its been way too long and its almost the holiday season which is my fave! lets thank tobi for this new computer and the ability to bbbbblog again.

true story judy.

VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE!

vincent cassel is gross.

KITTENS AND GIRLFRIENDS.

it's been way too long. I'm posting from my phone at 3am so this shall be very short and sweet.
there is a kitten asleep on my lap and a sleepover going on to my left. I haven't slept more than a few hours in the past two days so i am chanting for unconsciousness and quickly.
so i have much to share i can't wait.

THE NEWEST YEAR

I AM NOT CYNICAL I LOVE THE NEW YEAR AND I MADE GOALS FOR THE NEXT 365. 364. 

so i know the new year is sometimes an excuse to party like an amateur or throw a killer shindig that ends at 7am or stay home sulking or stay home relaxing or if youre like me you had a party to go to but were super sick and made the first good life choice in a while and stayed home and slept early and often. now its the second and i am much improved and not even remotely hung over.
my point is i guess its a cliche to make resolutions for the new year but in my life and friend circle its not even mentioned let alone thought of. resolutions are for those whom i do not know, have never known and probably will never know. however, i am not remotely above a significant life change which i am interested in making and now is as good of a time as any. so i am using the new year as a moment to implement long intended healthy habits into my routine along with some weird meditation and self reflection. i hate this post so now its time for pictures. i wish i were in sweden.

i love balloons. they are alive. i make them real.

i used to do this. i would like to again. its a new year.

PARAKEETS NAMED MURRAY. RIP.

I FOUND A BIRD ON THE GROUND AND HE BELONGED TO ME.

in 2005 david and i found a yellow parakeet on the ground in detroit. he was dehydrated and terribly out of place so we took him home and tried to make him well. it worked for a day or so but he quit eating and drinking and seemed very sad. at a loss i thought of playing some parakeet calls on the computer and he was so excited i knew he needed a friend. along came a blue and white budgie which looked like a cloud and was named murray. the little yellow fellow was named robes pierre, after the french revolutionary scoundrel whom i had recently watched a documentary on. robes for short. when i moved to boston five years ago a friend happily adopted our birds. i have always been very grateful for this.

i learned today that murray passed away. it makes me very sad, i recall him flying around our detroit apartment chirping and lovely. robes is still here and he is going to mourn this loss but i hope eventually a new friend will help him through. i miss detroit. fate.

murray is left. rip. robes is yellow.

if you found an animal on the ground would you change your life to care for it?
