I've been thinking about all the little things around my house that make me happy. I have them here, for your viewing pleasure. First up: my plastic Diana. Although unpredictable, she's a beaut and really helps me to think differently about photography.

Next up, playing hearts. Hearts is a family tradition for me; all the big gatherings are centered around board and card games, but especially hearts. It's so entrenched such that we have a song dedicated to my Grandmother for when she takes the queen of spades. As you can see, I'm not a very good player, but I sure have a good time!

Now for The Books. Please, just go listen to them. They do this amazing stuff with sound collage, rhythm, and found recordings. It's wonderful, especially live with video.

Lastly, journeying into nerddom--pens and all other officey-organizey things. I go through phases of loving certain kinds of pens. Right now, it's these babies. Oh, and I love the Bach hook too. The more organized I am, the more centered and happy my brain feels.

The End.
