Another great project from the fine folks at Utata: Utata Speaks. Utatans were asked to do photojournalistic essays. Great reads and pictures. Don't miss it!

just one of those photos that i faved a long time ago on flickr and keeps popping up in my "photos you commented on" stream. this photo cracks me up and so so so captures a side of sisterhood. i can't look at it and not chuckle. brilliant. :)

(also, i love how their outfits are the same but different colors)
(how their bodies mirror each other)
(do you think they will love or hate this photo when they are adults?)
(i bet love)

kristin's coming over. she can't get her soon enough as the only thing my body wants to do is pop open my new white wine and drink it in the midst of girl talk whilst sprawling on the couch.

dance like no one everyone is watching

More dance, people! This just spotted on Andrea Scher's blog: Matt dancing all over the world. This is so great! :)



The quote I read from the dance film below (from the Jeff Pilcher movie) really sums it up:

We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.

— Japanese Proverb

the winter of dance

Finally, a link to the greatsittingproductions short documentary of Jeff Pilcher and his friend Mike dancing on an Ontario street corner one winter.

Diana stopped by last night and we talked and talked and shared a bottle of wine and talked and talked. It was great to see her and catch up -- I think I've only seen her a handful of times or less since she upped and moved back to Bako. Her dad is sick. Diana did the totally right thing and moved back home. She and her sister take care of her dad. Her sister works. Di goes to school.
