my week in instagram #63

Getting ready for the Sophomore black and white murder mystery party. I won $50 by correctly guessing the murderer and getting my name pulled out of a hat. // Going on a date with Matt to the Switchfoot concert. Drew threw him his guitar pick at the end of the show. // Receiving my new sketchbook in the mail. I've been drawing in it constantly. // Sketching Thom Yorke. One of my favorite drawings yet! // The best, safest, most wonderful place in the entire world--in your arms. // Building a fort in our apartment! Hilarious telestrations followed. // Finishing up a photoshoot that included glitter, a fog machine, and lots and lots of flour! So excited for the results!

film friday: lift

This is the longest video I've posted for the film friday series, but I promise you it is worth the watch.

The description of the film is as follows:

"Filmmaker Marc Isaacs sets himself up in a London tower block lift. The residents come to trust him and reveal the things that matter to them creating a humorous and moving portrait of a vertical community."

It's a film kind of about a man who sits in an elevator and interviews people. But it is mostly about human life, the beauty of it, its tragedies and hardships, its happinesses. You will walk away from this film feeling really thankful and blessed to be a part of the human race.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks to my drawing class, I've started to get on a huge drawing kick, which I am really happy about because I used to sketch a lot a few years ago, but then for one reason or another I quit. And now that I'm finally learning how to draw properly, I've been obsessed with sketching random things. Poor Matt is going to be swamped with drawings I give to him. Thankfully, I recently won a $50 gift card for correctly guessing the killer in a murder mystery party, so I spent the first fifth of it on a brand new sketchbook to draw everything on the planet. Then Matt will have relief.

But in all seriousness, I'm thankful that this hobby has been reincarnated.





Also, here's an outfit with never-worn-enough thrifted clothes.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hello all! I'm blogging to you now from a coffee shop. It's cold outside and raining, but the hot chocolate beside me is yummy and warm and the guy sitting across from me is as handsome as ever. It's the end of a hectic week as usual, but we have plans to go to a concert tonight and it's going to be a relaxing two days until we start the routine over again. Life is busy and sometimes stressful, but it's good. Oh so good. Despite stressful and hard situations, I can't help but smile at the beauty of life. Even though things don't always go the way I plan them to, everything has a way of being okay in the end, and I am happy.
