#WASnow

By serene | Published: January 12, 2011

The universe gifted me with a blanket of still and quiet and fat flakes floating from above, soothing my rattled nerves. Seattle came to a halt, and I took the hint. I slowed down, appreciated the moment, and crawled within myself. How subtly, yet dramatically, the scenes change; the environment in constant renewal and dynamic [...]

A Day in the Life

By serene | Published: August 18, 2010

For my daily art project, I did a photo essay. I wanted the day to be one of those dreadfully mundane work days, which feel endless and repeating. Below is the slideshow from the set. Try to not cry from boredom.

Boner List, July Edition

1.  Fuck Yeah Daniel Clowes True fact: if you don’t like Daniel Clowes, we cannot be friends. 2. Kayaking Sure, you might look like a d-b, but it’s fun. And if you are super fancy and fashion forward you can bring a beer in a cozy to complete the amazing ensemble of fat suit life-jackets [...]

Pride!

By serene | Published: June 28, 2010

Only my queer community could convince me to set an alarm on a day off.  But, I did, and I marched myself and my camera downtown to watch the Pride Parade and followed it to Seattle Center to party with my people. And I don’t mean ‘my people’ in some co-optive and evil way. I [...]

Art Projects

By serene | Published: June 21, 2010

My summer will be all about art. I miss my creativity. I sometimes look at my negatives and my journals and sketchbooks and see all the verve and excitement and wonder where all that energy went.

Merry GIF day to you

By serene | Published: December 21, 2009

There just weren’t words to capture how hilarious this moment was, so I had to make an animated GIF to share. (p.s. Making an animated GIF in CS4 is hard. Try it sometime.)

Step 1: Have a long phone call with a loved one. Step 2: Take a sunny, snowy photowalk. Step 3: Pick up a care package from home (thanks Ludie and family!). Step 4: Ooh and Ahh over contents of care package. Particularly swoon if the contents are hot, spicy, and/or green chile. Step 5: Cook [...]

Missing home

By serene | Published: September 12, 2008

Life is settling a little more every day. I’ve settled into routine, which involves Skype, instant coffee, KEXP online, and looking out at the gray sky and being reminded of home. I was warned that when the initial charge of being abroad for a long while settles, a pretty wicked case of homesickness will take [...]
