I think I am moving here: http://guacamolepizza.tumblr.com/

Also, she snores. At least it's not as bad as the owner of the unit. Maybe I should ruin my hearing a bit so I'm not so sensitive to sounds.

What I've learned from living here is that I need to find a place that has:

Will and I had some time to kill before meeting up for lunch with family members, so we ended up driving slightly out of the main town. I'm tired. Commentary dwindling... Cows! Moooo.

Books! Glorious books! Will and I stopped by the Southwest Book Trader in Durango. We were driving around the main town and I noticed this bookstore. They have a pretty amazing selection of used books. If you dig a little you can find some rare books. The coolest book I found was the kind of book (a primer) you would have had if you attended a one room school house back in the day. I think it was from the early 1900s. I wanted to buy it, but it was $30 (probably a really good deal) and I wouldn't know what to do with it, unfortunately.

I decided it would be a good idea to start a new blog about my eating habits. Because I'm so good at updating this one... lol. We'll see how long the new one lasts, although I would like to make it work.

Weddings are exhausting! It was exciting, and I would do it again, but I'm glad I'm back (I was out of town from the 13th to the 17th). Will post pictures later.

Ok, I have no idea what's going on, but the violence in front of my building has gotten a lot worse this year. This is the second shooting... the last one was just a little over a month ago. I've lived in this building for what, 4 years now? and this is the first time I've been aware of shootings directly in front of my building. Sure, I've heard gunshots in the distance before, but not that frequently, and those were probably at least a few blocks away.

Today's shooting was by a kid, most likely in his late teens to early 20's, running and aiming backwards at the police, who were chasing him in an SUV. The 2 policemen ditched their car in front of my parking lot, doors wide open, to run after the guy in the direction of the elementary school (again! and yes, sad). Another police car arrived within seconds and within a couple of minutes 4 more cars arrived. Unfortunately, it looks like they lost the guy, because all of the officers are slowly walking back to their cars and congregating.

And geez, I just looked out the window again and found that they've blocked off the street. 4 more cars on the opposite end. A lot of officers walking around, questioning people. I guess this shooting is a lot worse than the one last month, maybe because this time the guy was aiming at a police vehicle.

Both last time and this time occurred about 45 minutes after I got home and both times I was sitting in the living room. Go figure... considering I don't sit in the living very often. Awesome. I'm going to go live in the back rooms some more. Maybe I'll buy myself a mini fridge and a George Foreman grill so I don't have to come to the front anymore.

I'm not going to say anything about the controversy, but I will ask this. Perhaps it's the makeup/orange skin, but is it just me or does she look like she's 21 going on 35? She looks like she belongs on the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

I've gotten kind of obsessed with Apartment Therapy. Maybe I feel like a spring cleaning is in order or maybe it's a good site for procrastination. Either way, they update quite frequently so there's a lot to look at and process. Enter the Saarinen Tulip chairs and tables:



















Admittedly, I think they're kind of cool even though they're not my style. What I don't understand is how a design can be called modern if it was originally created in the 50s, especially when it's so retro-looking. I also don't understand how people think they're so fabulously/utterly unique for owning them when they seem to be fairly prevalent. Maybe because the cost of owning them is prohibitive for most?
