It is against my religion to not like this movie.

Pretty dresses and shoes, dreamy cinematography set to Joy Division and Siouxsie Sioux, pastry eating, and pug snuggling.



It would go against everything I stand for to not love this movie. Sofia Coppola, you had me at "Lick the Star".

Ghost of Corporate Future (Past)

This song came on my shuffle as I made my way to my last day of work in Chicago. I thought it was appropriate.

Roommates of Past and Present Collide

Erin is in town. She and I will snuggle soon. She got to meet my current roommate Lauren. Phoenetically their first and last names are very similar. I wonder what that means?

New Camera, Last Work Week, Soon - New Old Home

Art, originally uploaded by Juxtaposedface.

I finally got a Digital SLR. I was really scared to touch it. I brought it home as soon as I got it. I pet it and cooed, "My precious." That's how my roommate found me. Creepy. I think I will name my camera Ouroboros.

I spent all of Friday night trying to figure it out and taking pictures of my feet.

I also bore witness to Ms. Robin Mill's magical powers as she ran the Chicago Marathon with her dad. She also passed the Bar. Her next feat - beat up war. (I have used that line like three times already.)




Also, this is my last week of work. I will be packing up and hopefully spending time with YOU before I move to New Orleans. One of my oldest and dearest friends will be coming up to get me around November 2nd.



So get your Shannon time in before she devotes it entirely to Sandra Rae adventures. When I had a Myspace profile I listed her and Buffy as my heroes. Not much has changed.

And one final entertainment note - get thee to MCA. It is teh awesome. I especially liked the Slater Bradley installation and getting to see Thax Douglas walking through a rainbow room.

Things that I like. No, love.

Thanks to my roommate, I am re-watching a lot of old Buffy episodes. I used to think the first season was awkward and kind of hard to watch. Not so. It is awesome. I love Buffy so hard. I almost forgot how hard.

You want to know what I also love? You guessed it - the Tamales Man. I know its kind of sick, but the cheese tamales are so awesome with Beer or Shannon Tonics it makes me cry a little.

Full Nights at the Empty Bottle

Bat For Lashes, originally uploaded by Glastonbury on the BBC.

While all of the hipsters were geeking out to Dan Deacon, we saw Bat For Lashes with the Nerdsters. Their performance was like watching a History textbook come to life. In a really good – heart tingly kind of way.

Lewis and Clarke opened. They did a slow, creepy cover of Jackson C. Frank's "Carnival". I almost exploded.

It drizzled on our way home.

This weekend was full of physicality, deep conversations, and copious amounts of alcohol consumption. To the max! I don't even remember taking that photo let alone putting on that headband. I just found this picture in my bag - hot.

I have two weeks to go in the corporate publishing world before I start moving my earthly goods to my sister's in Ann Arbor AND getting everything ready before I move down South.

I feel like Superman when he got infected by that plant from Krypton and he drove down to Louisiana and Swamp Thing saved him. I feel just like that.
