Almost one week ago, my phone got snatched while walking along Washington St. Some guy just passed by, riding a bike, and snatched it away from me. I tried to catch the guy, but thanks to those people around me, he got away quickly.
So, my phone just took on it's first year with me. My sim card, which has been the same sim card I've had since college, was also taken. And with that; I had to let go of a hundred contacts, pictures and music I've stored for the past 10 (?) years or so. Now, please tell me how do I let it go. And because I've had the same sim card since college, it was also the only means of communicating with my husband who might try to get in touch anytime... Good thing, though, I have memorized his number by heart. I can dial it from ny phone. But, how were you supposed to get my baby's pictures back? Her voice recording, which I listen to everyday? And all the friends I have kept in touch with, for the past 10 years...?
After losing my phone, I realized that I was not always lucky or safe. Nothing is impossible. :(

Obama was elected a year ago today and has now been in office for almost ten months. How do you think he is doing? What's the best thing you think he's done so far? The worst?

This was my first project at uni. Everyone was given colour to research, to be inspired by and to create a piece capturing the essence of. Mine was scarlet and I went down a little red riding hood avenue. I'm getting very into the darker side of fairytales and their prevalence in our culture. This bit in the Guardian about fairytales is definitely worth a read.
Anyway, ironically for a project about scarlet I draw it all in black and white. I carefully cut red riding hood out so that last red page would show through all the way to the first.
I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.
I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.
Cheers,
