Percolating airstream living dreams...still can't believe we own an airstream, will be living in one part-time next year, in the wilds of America
Still can't believe K only has 7 months of residency left. Thank God.

Happy May Day! and The Mini PaperPinwheel

For some reason, this blog isn't really doing it for me lately...I'm not sure whether or not I'll continue to post here...maybe once I head back to Asia and feel like I have more to write about. For now, I'm moving over to Tumblr: http://ngawangpadme.tumblr.com/. It's the Mini PaperPinwheel...Oh, and I FINALLY sent my book proposal out...

in case you couldn't tell,

i'm totally digging first aid kit!

How Quickly It Fades

the men begging to clean my shoes the moose along the trail the hidden hot springs the small children asleep on the sidewalk floating over powder the nirmanakaya buddha in front of my face

And

oh, it snowed today!
loving this blog
and so excited that Norweigan Wood is finally being released in the US!
