Shhh

Ever go through an occasional anti-social mode? Well, I'm currently in that mode. 

Truth be told, I love being alone. There was a time my mom and sister were genuinely worried I had 

no friends. It took a while for them to believe I do in fact have friends and am not a complete 

weirdo, and that I just enjoy spending time alone. Perhaps because I'm constantly surrounded by people, 

moving vehicles, co-workers from Monday through Friday, my weekends are often spent alone 

running errands or doing what my heart desires. It's my time to breathe and wind down. 

If you're thinking what an introvert, I couldn't agree more. Fortunately, I like who I am. 

I like that I enjoy little, simple leisures in life, and that I can enjoy it with the company of myself. 

Mr. Cumberbatch

Thoroughly enjoyed Star Trek. Currently restraining myself from beginning the Star Trek series 

to avoid an anti-social streak of chip binging and poor hygiene.  

I really like Benedict Cumberbatch. How I did not know of him sooner is saddening. He can act, and if 

you've seen him as Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series, you will swoon over his intellect, wit, 

brutally honest and perceptive character, which in turn positively fabricates Cumberbatch's image 

as Cumberbatch, not Holmes. I have no problems with that.

Homeless loses temper

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I've been seeing several homeless people 
lose their cool. 


Case 1–Homeless man throws whatever he was given to the floor in a flamboyant gesture, then proceeds 

to kick the trunk of the car, only to miss it by a few inches. 

Case 2–Homeless man yells at a driver in topless mini cooper, "MOVE MOTHER(beeper)" who was 
holding up traffic. Driver proceeded to give the homeless man the finger with a following hand gesture 
I am not familiar with but will assume is offensive. 

Case 3–Homeless man dumps out water from water bottle he was given in plain sight. 


Yes, I'll just leave it at that. 

The graphic design graduate in me is itching to fix the rags, line length, consistency, 

font size, etc. Downside to making posts via mobile...can't optimally edit posts.

Fall is here

Fall is here, fall is here. I've already busted out my knits regardless of the still warm temperatures.

The autumnal equinox confirms fall has begun, and my mind says so. My favorite seasons of the year

has to be fall and winter. There's something about breathing the cold, crisp air, face exposed, 

body bundled up in cozy goodness. Not to mention my always unusually hot body temp would 

naturally appreciate the cool temp keeping me from overheating, which is always an unfortunate 

peeve come summer. Then a cold–yes, cold–seasonal drink in hand would be the topper to the perfect 

winter day. I'm telling you, a couple sips of a hot beverage will shoot my body temperature up 

10 degrees, resulting in sweat and an unfinished drink. Same goes for soup and stew. 

Currently all over the pumpkin spiced latte, iced, decaf, with whip. It's got to be decaf and it's 

got to have whip. I hear it's a love or hate kind of thing with this drink. I love it. 

I got the blogger app on my phone. Makes it easier to update often since I haven't been going on my 

laptop at all after work unless it's to pay the monthly bills. I thought I'd start updating on a 

weekly basis...about my thoughts and current activity. It's always fun to go back and see what I've 

been up to...kind of. 

It is the summer's great last heat, it is the fall's 

first chill: they meet.

Simplicity

Minimalism is not a style, it is an attitude, a way of being. 

It's a fundamental reaction against noise, visual noise, disorder, vulgarity. Minimalism is the pursuit of the essence of things, not the appearance.

–Massimo Vingelli

Couldn't have said it better. I've made attempts at dressing less "boring" or "simple" many times. 

Though it can be different and fun, I find myself resorting back to my timeless, understated pieces. 

I feel most confident and comfortable, a win-win in my book, when I'm dressed in solid 

colored knits and sweaters. If you know me, I don't like to stand out. No thank you, I'll be just 

fine going about my business, quietly. Wallflower much? Absolutely. This doesn't mean 

I don't appreciate prints and noise, I'll have my rare moments when I'm feeling unusual, but I just love 

a clean, raw, solid, classic, understated outfit. Easily overlooked, but appreciated when noticed. 

Eyeing these two watches by Uniform Wares. I've yet to invest in a good watch, because 

I haven't had any luck finding the one, until now. Beautiful aren't they? First one is $600 something. 

Second one is $300 something. Love the first one, but my wallet says no. Like the second one, 

really do–it's more affordable–but I feel like I'm just settling. I'm going to give it more thought, even though 

I already know I would not spend above $600 for a watch. So really, there is not much thought to give...
