In order to make going to the gym slightly less horrible, i pretend i'm a sea mammal.

some dogs--all linus. i hope to make a non-sketchbook version of something like this with dogs that aren't linus.

important logic and then a small list of recently acquired objects.

Another crazy thing I did. I'm become more aware of these sorts of things, but that isn't stopping me.

i felt crazy on april fool's day, and the idea that the ocean wouldn't be warm enough to swim in until july or august was not not not okay with me. unfortunately, that is a true idea and not one that should be ignored while naked.

a man at coffee exchange. if you go there sometimes, you've probably seen him. he uses words like besmirch. i know, because i eavesdrop on other people's conversations.

a true fact is that i am not a smooth operator.

eleanor and jesse made chainmail obsessively for a few days. we are fierce knights.

i ran out of bobbypins so i got paperclip stuck in my hair. and eleanor is a good friend.

I am not often a positive addition to a conversation. In fact, you're probably better off just having one on your own. When I was little I thought the recycling plant near my house was where clouds came from.

Rhyming words, a job i never wanted, and some metaphorical claustrophobia. Plus, a girl i thought was really pretty at the coffee shop.

we went to the beach in jamestown despite the weatherchannel's advice.

some ghosts, drawn while drunk in eleanor's studio, the ghostiest building ever.

too much law and order is not enough.

i love him, my sweet mutt. but, whyyyy, why why why do dogs need to eat their own vomit?

the snowiest day in boston, one of my last days in the apartment there. snow days are made for chocolate pudding, grilled cheese, naps, knitting and sketchbooks. which is what my life is made of.

i have been having so many computer problems with my dell laptop. i urge anyone reading NOT to buy a dell unless they have droves of technological expertise.

drawn while, exhausted, playing cribbage with my grandma on christmas day.

linus gives good advice to pajama clad things in trees.
