so, maybe I'm a bit critical

Things I had such high hopes for which fell flat:

The film Bright Star – I need films that make me feel like my heart is being ripped out. This was not one of those films. Okay, yes, many of the scenes were pretty to look at but the intensity I craved just wasn't there. In my humble opinion it was a problem of casting for the male lead.

The Doug Fir Lounge in Portland – I held the Doug Fir up on a pedestal in my mind but in the bright light of day (on a Sunday morning) the place looks pretty old and tired. I'm going to give it a second chance some night in the future when I can pretend it's a sleek and swanky place. Dim lights and an amazing music show will, I'm sure, change my mind.

simplicity is best

early spring

I'm forcing Spring to happen inside our house. The trees outside are doing just fine on their own, no forcing required.

The book I'm reading states it nicely: "Trees are sucking winter up through their roots, exploding luscious and green." – Happy: A Memoir by Alex Lemon

I never get tired of simple forms.
