A few lovely things for a very rainy night in Cambodia.
A few lovely things for a very rainy night in Cambodia.
A few lovely things for today, when I am in Chiang Mai, probably meeting my elephant soulmate as you’re reading this.
A few lovely things for the first day of May, after a very busy but very fun April.
Last Wednesday, my parents called me from L.A., they were in Phoenix and decided to take a spur of the moment trip out to SoCal to watch the Sharks play the Kings.
We immediately decided we were going, but we were supposed to go to Phoenix for a wedding the next day, so it took a bit of finagling. We managed to switch our flights to leave from Long Beach, hopped in a rental car, and drove down.
We were only in L.A. for 24 hours, but we had a great time creeping around Venice and watching the game from a suite at the Staples Center.
Venice is one of my favourite beaches in southern California, I love the vibe, the people, and the graffiti. People there are so unique and unapologetic, and I love seeing all of the colourful art for sale on the boardwalk. We were there last year and I found an artist doing these really simple, almost comic book-like drawings, but they were so beautiful.
We stood and looked at all his paintings for almost an hour, because I wanted all of them and I literally could not pick a favourite, but eventually I got dragged away. I asked if he had a website where I could order some of his paintings, but he didn’t, and told me to come back because he was always there. He wasn’t there when we went back this time, so I shall spend the rest of my life fruitlessly searching.
I hadn’t noticed it the last few times we were there, but they have a really cool half pipe for skateboarding set up right on the beach. We stood and watched them for awhile, some of them were really good. I was pretty jealous of their skills, I tried to get the boy to teach me how to long board last year, but he pointed out that I would almost certainly be irreparably damaged due to my lack of coordination. He was not wrong.
A few lovely things for tonight, when nothing sounds better than tea, wildberry cheesecake and a few episodes of Dawson’s Creek on Netflix. I forget how deliciously angsty all the characters and plot lines are, it’s perfection.
We were lost in San Francisco yesterday, wandering on random streets, when we came across the coolest building ever.
It was covered in beautiful graffiti, and had antique furniture hanging from the windows and the roof of the building.
I know this place isn’t for everyone, but when I come across something like this I can’t help but feel lucky to have lived here, even if it was just for awhile.
A few lovely things because it’s Friday, and because I said so.
Love this poem:
We Who Are Your Closest Friends
Love this. I feel this way all the time, one day I hope to close the gap.
Just some lovely things for a gorgeous day where lots of things went right, made even sweeter by the fact that yesterday was a miserable day, where nothing did.
loveliness.
