about

to my lovely invisible audience...
i'm not good at links yet but i'll build some in; evidently a forum such as this is made for drawing the reader's attention to obscure and interesting things one finds elsewhere on the internet. in the meantime i can tell you to go here http://www.learningtoloveyoumore.com/ if you haven't been already. miranda july is joy and love.

more beautiful stuff:
the washington d.c. metro system (i can't hear "last station stop in the commonwealth of virginia" without a shiver going down my spine)
anything by iron and wine, or sam beam, for that matter
Karen Russell's fantabulous book St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves
the short story "Audit", i think it was in the Paris Review book of People with Problems

look for a lovely thing, it's not far.

i miss my old apartment in Columbus. i miss twilight looking out on the city. I MISS MY BIKE. it is treacherous to ride a bike in NYC where i am now.

also: this is mostly fluff, i know. but a blog called "juice box and skittles" is hardly going to be a forum for meditations on the wars and woes of the world, or even deep thoughts of any stripe. just a place for frivolity, for saying all those things i can't say in conversation.

love
