my week in objects (mostly).

turmeric, sneakers, and a basket-turned-shade.

1. this turmeric.

{for sparking a fresh idea.}

2. this stack of papers.

{and maybe, finally, solving a problem.}

3. this apple.

{and the twenty or so others.}

4. these sneaks.

{and the weather to wear them in.}

5. this basket.

{and silas for turning it temporarily into a lampshade.}

other things:

storefronts.

wake up and nap. (the very best use of a historic house museum.)

patriarchal roommates.

life in a perpetual shopping mall. (just the preview, but so great!)

navigational skills &c! (via the great jessica stanley.)

tsk-tskingly. (nymag)

it was like a dream.

captivated by a can opener.
