My Creative Talisman
Hello lovely people! I’ve been going through another one of Julia Cameron’s books… you know, the self-help-artist-therapy-get-in-touch-with-your-inner-creative-child-type books? I’d probably laugh with you if you made fun of how cheesy they are, but secretly I LOVE them. Today I had to troll though my life and collect the top 10 negative words anyone has [...]
The Tangle.
Margaret has long hair. If you have long hair, you’ll understand that sometimes you suffer from tangles (see image above). Yesterday Margaret had a tangle so magnificent, it deserved its own name (Walter) and possibly its own zip code (The post office hasn’t gotten back to her yet). How, you ask, does one proceed? Her [...]
The Devil’s Note

On asking for help…
Friends, I’m going to level with you, I’m having a dear-diary moment: Do you know what I think of being independent? I think it’s great. I do. I am fiercely independent. So is my mother. I like to carry the heavy bags from the grocery store 20 blocks to my apartment. I like to be [...]
I want to show you the sky…
At some point on our trip, I started compulsively recording things on the video-camera in my phone. The road, the endlessly flat horizon, the way the setting sun turns everything to gold, but mainly I filmed the sky. Everything is bigger in Texas. The sky is bigger in Texas. and I’ve always loved the sky. [...]
Show and Tell: Accordion!
Sam is playing the accordion! from sam wedelich on Vimeo. Friends! Do you like music? I really like music. I especially like accordions. An accordion sounds like the offspring of a set of bagpipes and a harmonica. I’m still pretty rough around the edges, but I really really wanted to share my new toy with [...]
