Working out of doors

picnic & work. we snacked on carrots, radishes & kale salad. my faaavorite.
it was a perfect recipe for productivity! i finished the earmuffs.
destination: new jersey for the toy art exhibit :)

It is not impossible to use a paper cutter in a car

I used a filter on this photo for added ridiculousness. Like, why would you want to make that look artsy? I don't know. Because I can.

I can't tell if I'm simply burnt out from December or if LA makes me lazy. Either way my productivity hasn't been at its usual high. Business is also a bit slower but it's times like these I have to remind myself not to be discouraged by slowness. Instead I have to think of them as opportunities to do personal projects. My resolution for my birthday year is to find stability to counter & compliment the prior year's movement. I seem to still be moving around a lot. Oops!

On that note, I'm going to Hong Kong!!! So expect some adventure/travel posts in the near future. I haven't been in another country in 8 months and eek, that's far too long. I bought the ticket with James on Christmas Eve & it was probably the best gift I could have given myself in light of the holiday stress & intense work. Hopefully after Hong Kong I'll be ready to jump into the work.

this is what came of some of those vegetables

totally pulled a bruce with this shot

Fancy free photo app makes my pictures look cool

party down

checkers probably has one of the best happy hours in la. we spent 4 hours there. haaaa...

coolhaus ice cream sandwich. i finally ate you. & i love you.

i'm not really sure why people continue to attend the la art walk because the art is pretty disappointing. perhaps it's the people watching? perhaps it's the food trucks? i think it's the good friends & rooftops.

fries w truffle glaze. best grub money can find in little tokyo at midnight. well, except for kouraku. dang.

biking is for people of all ages!

this is the potential of tonight's family dinner

the craziest geometric green i've ever seen

Today I walked

from Sunset Junction to Union Station

echo park travel mart!

stumbled upon this treasure trove

& picked up a potential cabinet of curiosities

4.5 miles later...

with the subway sandwich man there to greet me

then I hopped on the gold line to pasadena

it was a great walking & public transportation adventure!

LA, you win :)
