OH HELLO, FRIENDS. it's a pleasant early-summer night; as i write this, i'm enjoying the smooth, cool air coming through my patio door and nomming on some tostones. life is good!

♥ i have spent some time labouring over the perfect (to me) summer mix, and here she is!



click the photo to hear the mix--and the track list is below.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

1.) pollen (pee pollen mix) - mirah
2.) i want some more - dan auerbach (cause summer is a good time for crushing hard)
3.) summertime - sam cooke
4.) our own pretty ways - first aid cook (what's summer without some upbeat nordic sister-folk-pop?)
5.) little bit - lykke li (reminds me of driving around with irinka in the so-cal summer heat the last year i lived there)
6.) a fuller wine - abigail washburn
7.) eleven - thao & mirah (love is around the corner! love is everywhere! summertime is lovetime)
8.) summertime - jesca hoop
9.) hummingbird - imaginary cities (i have been listening to this on repeat. SO GOOD)
10.) the shrine/an argument - fleet foxes (recommended by a twitter pal. so perfect. "sunlight over me no matter what i do...in the ocean, washing off my name from your throat" SWOON)
11.) some people - dan mangan (corb lund sings on this track, too: one of my best memories of last summer was seeing them both at calgary folk fest)
12.) if it rains - basia bulat (an essential part of summer in vancouver is accepting that it'll rain sometimes)
13.) for emma - bon iver (some more swoony music)
14.) oh maker - janelle monae (love is gone! let the heat and wind and light heal your wounds. )
15.) sweet sensation - the melodians
16.) see line woman - nina simone
17.) starstruck - santogold (something to get sweaty to)



♥ do you have any essential summer songs you want to share with me?

♥ did i tell you all i've been working as a florist? it's a delight, for sure. there are worse days to be spent than those in a fragrant shop surrounded by blossoming flowers. and damn, people are always so happy to be buying them! did i mention there is some serious people-watching outside my store? daaaaamn, all these beautiful girls showing their skin. sets a girl to dreaming, it does.

♥ my balcony garden is coming along smashingly; i've got flowers on my tomatoes, peppers, zucchini & pumpkins, and fruit on my peas & strawberries. i have a few planters of flowers, too (and one is a jasmine plant that i got cause the smell reminds me of san diego).

♥ i'm still going strong on my 365 project. had no idea it would be this easy...

(this is my favourite outfit of recent weeks)


an impromptu celebration after one of the canucks' wins against the bruins.


I'M CRAZY FOR CORNMEAL RASPBERRY MUFFINS


ladyexxa and i classing up a graduation art show

♥ who do you have to blow to get a new profile picture around here? i have submitted a few and they keep not getting accepted. i mean, damn, i have not had a set bought in 4 years, but i didn't think picking out a profile photo that was adequate would be as difficult! DAAAAAAAMN you guys will have to look at my 2007 face for a while longer yet.

♥ to celebrate the longest day of the year, malloreigh and i are gonna go to the best beach around and have a bonfire. maybe we will drink wine and get all KARAZY, but since we are both on post-playoffs booze bans, we will probably take it super easy. and she is going to teach me how to ride a fixie. that shit is intimidating, BUT I WILL MASTER IT

♥ i'm planning another duos set!! if time & archival status were no objection, which suicidegirl would you like to see me do one with?

HOLY HYACINTH, you guys. i meant to show you photos of my new sewing stuff but it's getting late and i must watch some buffy before i go to bed. as a treat, you know! i deserve it because i worked a craft market today and didn't sell as much as i wanted. by the way: CHECK MY SHIT OUT. besides what i've got on etsy, i looooove doing custom orders. send me your ideas for a necklace, coin purse, patch, pin, iphone/kindle/kobo cozy and i will work some crazy sewing mojo for you.

You look as stunning as usual in your photographs. However, I must ask how was the art show?

That profile pic thing is a disgrace... can't imagine you submitting a bad photo of your pretty face. If such a thing even exists... blush

Oh.. can we have balcony garden photos please? I am going to tackle this project of making my balcony cosy as soon as I am back from my holiday and I need inspiration! smile

if i knew how i would send you a link to "Soft Skin" by Mountain Man. or i would send you a link to almost anything by Lady Lamb the Beekeeper. (with Lady Lamb songs on you tube you feel the forces she is up against--yet listening, and looking closely between the lines, it is clear she is finding her way. and she sure as fuck KNOWS WHAT IS WHAT. please tell me what you think-- if you have the chance.

amazing the ethereal feel, the we-must-whisper of a church or library that real commercial green houses have. little glassed in Edens with the staff inside always so gentle! and even the girls as beautiful as you typically never have that hard flirting or steering- back-at-you way. almost always they are as natural as true bathers beside the ocean.
it is a form of nudity. right? smile

have to say glad of your problems with changing your profile. smile sorry, i love it hugely. please keep.

new cooking video? new COOKING hot set!!? eager.

Rin-sightful and Rin-cisive commentary.

You crave pakoras for you are Rin-satiable.

Your sewing is as Rin-ventive as ever.

Your balcony garden sounds succulent and delicious.

Can't beat a good beach bonfire, watching the sun go down, edging closer to the fire as the evening chill seeps in.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

You must be careful not to drop anything into the fire otherwise it shall be Rin-cinerated!

Awesome playlist. I'd add some Cults in there, just cause I can't stop listening to them!
I'm loving you in that pink/purple outfit! Very snazzy!
We're growing tomatoes in our backyard. We've yet to see flowers on our pepper plant though. frown
I want your sugar skull pins!! Too cute!

i listened to your mix this afternoon, great stuff! i first heard that Melodians track on the king kong collection, a great early reggae comp. and you're right, that hummingbird track is very catchy indeed.



ps buffy and corn muffins ftw
