happy new year! i lost my wallet! on the last day of 2011. do you know where it is? it is pictured here.

i have been wanting something, these days, and i generally can't figure out what it is that i want.

oh. apparently i have been having some difficulties. paying for grad school has proven to be a bigger challenge than i expected (though i have no idea why i thought it might be easier) and art-making has proven to be a bigger challenge than i expected (though i have no idea why i thought it might be easier.)
ALSO! here is my 500th post. 

one sweet potato pancake to share and a game of dominos at the liberty elm! the best treat. also, eleanor's bafflement that i would own hairspray. don't worry, i haven't figured out how to use it yet.
