BOOKS ARE FOR SHARING. that is why my personal library is missing some of my favourites... i know that i have lent them out, and i can't remember to whom, but i hope (know) that they are being passed along from person to person and perhaps those people are learning great things from them. other people's ideas augment our own and expand our consciousnesses.

that said, i have just found out that this book is out and i want to read it. i enjoyed his first two novels very much. they gave me words for feelings i'd felt but had never described before. they made sense to me.



jonathan safran foer is a young author. i like young authors; they give me hope for myself. i have many, many ideas and i want to share them with anyone who wants to listen, but i am not very good at writing stories. not very good at putting narratives together in a cohesive and entertaining way. next semester, i am taking a creative non-fiction writing class. i will emerge from it better at something that i want to be better at.

i have just discovered that my dear windowsill is going to be in a calendar for the 2010 year. i am going to be in a calendar, too. we will have to put both of these calendars up on our cluttered walls. our friends can come over and see our photographs and also the dates of months. i think i am june in the PROHAB (protection of heads and brains) ladies bike calendar.

here are some more photographs from my 365 project, and some other lately taken photos.

(this is what i am wearing today.)

on friday night i went to a halloween-themed show called "premature ejackulantern" featuring some amazing local talent, of which only one band had not been previously photographed multiple times by me. that band, the new values, was fantastic. i will probably photograph them again.

the other two bands who played were applebonbon's magnificant glam dance punk spectacular, fake shark - real zombie! and the newly remonikered run with the heard.

i am really pleased with the photos i took. the venue was well-lit and i ended up with almost 200 photos that i was in love with (and that's with my camera having died two songs into the last set!). here are some that i particularly like:

and one from the costume contest:



i want to take photos of my roommate soon. we're trying to find the time.

SCATTERHEART - MORE THAN A MAN video. i'm in it! i'm wearing bright blue... watch till about 2:30 and you'll start seeing me in the crowd. soooooo rad. this shoot was super fun.

i have a new profile picture. did you notice? no you didn't, don't lie. i'm never here anyway. it's from a set that cherry shot of me in may or june sometime, east fifty-second. have you seen it? oh, probably not, eh? i don't spam my sets in my journal. i feel silly doing that. well, here, go look. here are some photos.





365 project still going strong. i don't have the energy to construct amazing images every day, but here are some recent ones that i dig.









right. and this is what i've been up to lately. lots of long winding trips with friends around the city. i love my friends. they save me from myself.





i live in such a beautiful city. sometimes the thought of leaving hurts me.



it's maybe not autumn where you are but it's autumn here and i am starting to love life again. new starts.

i made a formspring, in case you're tempted to write me notes. it's pretty much for tumblr. follow me there too.

it's been a crazy month. lots has happened, and i've been crazy, all over the place in my head and outside of it. i had a bit of heartbreak in there, and a bit of growth, and a lot of school and work and craziness going on. mostly i have been fucking crazy and self-destructive. it's okay. i'm probably over it, or at least i know it's going on so i can work on it.

right, so.

tumblr is my current obsession. you are invited to be a voyeur.

i'm doing a project - i'm taking a photo of myself every day for a year. it's been more than 25 days already. imagine that.

here are some samples.







right, so.

ask me a question. i swear i'll answer them this time.

i don't think i will ever leave, but i will go silent from time to time.

find me elsewhere:
tumblr: malloreigh is a ten letter word
flickr: this is photostream
malloreigh.com needs an update real bad
twitter: things i must share in 140char or less

back to school.

life's okay. back to school soon and i'm damn excited. have just started the artist's way - i'm doing my morning pages this week, and an artist date, and am starting the first chapter next week. i'm ready for a semester of productivity and good grades. aren't you?

i got my picture taken tonight by the illustrious and beardy kk. i'm excited to see the results. we just fooled around on a rooftop in gastown. it was good times.

now, what? i don't know what to say to you. ask me a question. i'll answer it.

learn to make vegan chili with malloreigh!



thanks for that ten minutes of your life.

thanks for the birthday wishes, kittens.

all day long, august 13th, 2009 [WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS A HIGH LEVEL OF GRUMPINESS]:

also, it's my birthday. today i am twenty-four.

i just updated my profile. changed a lot - more than i've ever changed at one time over the last three or four years. hmm.

introspective.
going to pull through.
obviously.

what does your profile say about you? what does mine say about me?

i have become
deflated



i can't even articulate it well
i tried too many times to say it
whatever



what am i doing with myself? with my life? i don't know where to focus my energy, so i focus it nowhere. that is not okay.
