{ tea-sized fruit tarts and chocolate cream desserts for a downton abbey sunday evening }

{ little bunny foo-foo iphone dreams - coming soon perhaps }

{ this face - who happens to be staying with me this weekend }

{ classic combination of tomato soup with a grilled cheese - perfect for a rainy afternoon }

{ rest in peace etta james - your voice will be legendary forever }
all these things are getting me through this grueling week of school on top of work on top of lack of sleep. i hope you all have been staying warm and staying dry. it's the time of year when rain boots almost seem like a necessity, but i continue to convince myself that heels make more sense because i'm above the puddles?... i don't know, it's not working out so hot. i'll get there one day. thank you to all of those who have sent me e-mails, sharing your views and opinions about SOPA. for a detailed version of my own personal views, visit the COSMICaroline facebook page.in other less political news, i've been diving head first into new clorange tunes, an upcoming album deadline, and an exciting night in february. good things are still to come. i've been hiding under wooden tables with the porte-plume between cheap beer and cheeseburgers, eating squash with the cupcake and her wonderful family, and supporting an interesting temporary career of hers at a deafening irish tavern. long talks over pool tables about the importance of family, the reggae screams of dreaming fools, and the act of cherishing your elders. catching up with old friends over an embarrassing game of darts, finding interest in the idea of a beer delivery service, wondering why no one has tried to make that happen yet, and watching my mind screws unwind as i sift through poem after book after poem. more from me soon.






breathe peace.
