New York Redux circa 2006
by angeliska on September 13, 2009
Oh my. It’s been a while since I was last in New York. I just dug up these pictures from the last time I was there, and I’m flooded by memories of how much fun we had.. Now I’m even (…)
Gilded Bats
by angeliska on August 20, 2009
I am finally beginning to feel halfway human again after le disko deluge, (yes more on that soon!) As usual, it’s not quite Thursday anymore– but c’est la vie! So many things have been happening lately that my heart feels (…)
Dog Days
by angeliska on July 30, 2009
We adopted a puppy! Well, she’s six months old- but that still counts, right? I was walking past the Austin Pets Alive adoption station after work the other day, and she caught my eye. She’s super wiggly, and thus really (…)

Scrapyard Honey

Excesses + Torn Dresses
by angeliska on May 29, 2009

by angeliska on May 17, 2009
Good things: I received a surprise parcel this week from my long-lost friend Herr von der Goltz- it contained a disc- Music of the Tatar People and a book from 1903, German Wit and Humor. I love the nouveau cover! (…)
