Blimey, I didn't say I disliked Dawn Landes I just listened to 'Brighton' and it is a very lovely song. Maybe that album is worth checking out!

I liked that Best Coast song. I've liked stuff of theirs that I've heard on the radio well enough, but have never really been fussed about going any further. I do like her voice though.

I heard this next one for the first time last night. Well, I've seen her (with the same band) live, and have one of her other albums... but I hadn't heard about this album until now. I think much of her stuff is more perky than this... but I think this is one of the most gorgeous songs I've heard in a long time:

(again, I don't have a good feeling about that one, but I can't help myself because the song is so good).

I'll get to Berlin on Thursday... but I fly to Hamburg tonorrow. I'm spending a few days there, and then getting the train to Berlin. Perhaps I'm looking forward to Berlin more... but there's not much in it really. And I'm going to a game of football in Hamburg, which was what kicked the whole trip off in the first place.

You must be excited about going to Russia. Are you going to Moscow? And is this where I ask how cold it's going to be in November?

Hi there... and yes, I did run that marathon. Time to update that post I suppose... already signed up for a few more runs as well.

If you find the perfect sketchbook, please let me know! I've been debating [URL=http://shop.monocle.com/stationery/monocle-stationery-notebooks , but don't have a shop near by to see and feel one prior to purchase... Monocle x stationery

And for post cards, have you tried Instagram? Post cards from your phone... INSTAGRAM

I quoted the wrong app!!! I meant Postagram... which allows you to use instagram pictures in physical, offline format... pretty great for offline life.

The marathon went well! under 4 hours, no injuries! And you inspired me to kick up a to do list as well... might need to flesh it out a bit, but a start is the hardest part. And that part is done... thanks for kicking me into it!

best of luck on your list, and if you give those books a shot, i MUST know how they go... I agree on Moleskines... lovely, but far from perfect. I had to give them up and am on a similar search. Currently on a 100% bamboo book. Good brightness, nice feel, but the binding is weak and overall presence is rather flimsy.

you are so sweet, do you know that? thank you for caring so much the whole time
and i can't wait to be in chat again, too!
Hopefully see ya, soon

I really like seeing those water towers get built; the team has to do it in a day!

Thanks Kaikai!

(Hope everything's okay and that you don't need the button).

You go, girl! Way to crochet!

And I enjoy seeing the adventures of the non-sketch you, as well!

Thank you!

Glad you are safely home.

It sounds like you are having a good summer. This makes me happy.

Probably more because she reminds me of you...

Hope there were no stings involved...

Thanks for sharing your secret private jam out sessions.

And go you! Kick assignment!

Happy almost birthday cause I know I'm going to forget.

I hope you do- I'm quite enjoying it.

Sorry the vacation is almost over, but I will wish for a sheet full of checks for you!

I really like this one...

how did you take a picture of the sketch?
... the light has a wonderful quality to it, like it's sitting in the window during a sunset.
