disaster photography

I found these photos in an article about the most recent earthquake in Japan that just hit a couple of days ago. I'm completely breathless. Look how human they are. I love the art of it. How simple they are and yet they show the personal aspect of what these people are going through. Children trying to be children. People waiting for help. The monogamy of being unsure of security. Trying to get answers. Trying to find peace.

I would love to do this. I would love to find a way to personally be there for people as they struggle through these disasters and help them share their stories.

last day of finals!

First I woke up at the unholy hour of 5 am to get a head-start on my very. last. final. Due today and I have work so it has to be done.

And I walked to my Starbucks around the corner. It was completely void of all people and cars. The sky was grey and starting to light up and there were birds singing. My life is a Disney movie.

I kind of love California. I love the smell of Jasmine in the morning and I kind of love how it doesn't go through seasonal change like the rest of the world (sorry Rexburg).

When I got to Starbucks, my friend Alex (barrista) said good morning and already got started on my drink without even asking me what I wanted because she already knew. Wayne the Champion was already in his corner getting started on his daily work of Solitatire. And now I'm sitting here with my old fashioned dough nut and my warm drink watching as the sun lights up the palm trees across the parking lot. I freaking love palm trees. I can't get over it.

Today is my last day of finals.

I found these and I've been dying. I want to do this in my home so bad! Too cute, can't pass it up and it looks pretty easy.

I kind of love California

dearland

I'm really loving this song. It's very hauntingly beautiful. But at first I thought it was freaky, especially when the flute guy started warbeling with his eyebrows wiggling... But the lead singer is actually Anthony Perkins' son (the guy from Psycho) so I thought that was cool.

thought

I have been sitting in Starbucks for the last three hours doing homework with my earplugs in...

... but I never got around to opening my iTunes

... so I'm not really listening to anything.

i can't handle this

I am going to die.

bunnies

Ok, so bunnies have always been my favorite animals. They are just so stinkin' cute! yes, I'm a girl, I'm allowed to have one of those moments... But I loved these. Especially the bunny wall and the aviator bunnies. Ok. I can't handle it.
