birthday bouquet




1. Blue color is everlastingly appointed by the deity to be a source of delight., 2. Oh No!  He Saw His Shadow!, 3. Allium, 4. Blue and White Carnation, 5. Crinkles, 6. Re-In-Carnation, 7. CROCUS-QUINTET, 8. Buddha's Hand Citron Blossom, 9. Friendly Face


How to make a birthday bouquet:
Find out what your birthday flower, birthday month flower, zodiac flower and other flowers associated with your sign. Then find images of your flowers using flickr. Finally make a mosiac. And, violá! You have a personal birthday bouquet!

it's not my birthday but i have way too much free time so i decided to make one for my birthday (december 13th). i used muscari (grape hyacinth), paperwhite narcissus, allium flower, three carnations, crocus, buddha's hand citron blossom & lisianthus.

speaking of bouquets. i used to tell boyfriends not to buy me flowers because they were a 'waste of money' (my words). i've changed my mind. i got flowers a few weeks ago from david to cheer me up and i almost cried because it was so sweet and unexpected. now i understand why people like getting flowers...it makes them feel loved.

happy birthday jack kerouac!

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
- jack kerouac's on the road 1957



things to do to celebrate jack kerouac birthday:

  • read one of his books; such as: on the road, the dharma bums, big sur, the uubterraneans, and visions of cody.
  • drink red wine, beer, or anything really.
  • speak in french. his parents were french-canadians & he could speak it, he was 6 when he starting learning enlgish.
  • play football. he played during high school & was offered scholarships from notre dame, colombia university, boston college. he accepted colombia offer & played there also
  • if you're in san francisco, go visit jack kerouac alley. i've been there a few time, it's like walking with his ghost. i could see him everywhere i looked.
  • then go to city lights bookstore which was the spot for beat poets, such lawrence ferlinghetti (who i've had the pleasure of staring at - too shy to introduce myself).
  • carry around a notebook & write it in when the fancy strikes you.
  • take your car on a road trip! now! don't pack, don't plan, don't pick a destination, just do it!
  • try some buddhist meditation or a buddhist bible.
  • try your hand at stream of consciousness writing, or as kerouac called it 'spontaneous prose', which is the style of on the road. here are the essentials of spontaneous prose as he described it.
  • listen to some jazz.

a few of my favorite things: 24oz of corona


so far i've been this has been the only thing i've bought since i've turned 21.

birthday presents

my boy buys the best presents ever, it's because he knows me better than anyone. for my bday he got me (a bunch of stuff i don't deserve):
he upgraded my old, banged up macbook to a brand new aluminum one.

aa fingerless gloves

aa tie dye shirt in stingray (on the chick online it looks purple but the guy's picture is more accurate because it's actually a very nice grey)

he fixed my poor little koala, which he got for my birthday 2 years ago but the loop on his head had broken off

& a gift certificate to miss la de da's (just ignore how tacky their website is) which is the best place in the world for vintage jewelery, their collection is just overwhelming .

autumnal equinox

captured: 06.19.08
goodbye summer! goodbye swimming in the kiddie pool. goodbye 80-100 degree weather (good riddance!). goodbye friends (not really but goodbye to spending copious amounts of time with them doing nothing & having them live just around the corner). goodbye free time. goodbye beach days (not that i went as much as i could/should have).
hello autumn! hello coats. hello perfect weather (hopefully 60-70). hello school & homework. hello halloween & costume fun. hello pumpkins & pumpkin food (pumpkin spire latte, pumpkin loaf, pumpkin cream cheese, pumpkin bagels, pumpkin ravoli, pumpkin pie, pumpkin milk, pumpkin muffin, mmm...).
