I love this movie so very, very, much. 

Moonrise Kingdom was so great. Just the whimsy I need in my life right now. (Taken with Instagram at Landmark Century Centre Cinema)

Taxi ran me into a bus while I was on my bike. I flipped over the handlebars and faceplanted the ground. Happy day. Update later.

Thanks Philip Bloom for this lovely [@photojojo] prehistoricparty.photojojo.com ! (The cam is pretty sweet too) ;) <3 you! (Taken with Instagram at Domicilio de Abansinger)

Sorry for the lack of updates, been editing like a fiend.

I took some photos for my friend, Eric “Hineycakes” Hines while I was driving through Indiana. He’s been in California for the last couple months timelapsing it up with Tomscapes Lowe, Dr. Kanab, Mindrelic, and the rest of the little timelapse boys. 

The Midwest misses you, Hiney.

Went to Indiana today and hung out with Eric and his family. I’m so lucky to have an awesome/goofy friend like him. Visiting Kessler Crane is always a delight. They are such incredibly wonderful people, especially E-Licious, Beller, and Baby Gravy.

Why thank you kindly. *Meow!

Yummy home cooked dinner.

RIP MacBook Pro. You are now a giant external hard drive. Once my files are off you will be on giant paperweight. May not be worth it to get this fixed anymore. Logic board replaced a couple months ago and it is totally fried again.

Birthday Love!

My birthday yesterday turned out awesome. I had a pretty bad day from the morning until 6:30PM when Austin got home from work. He gave me a delicious giant red velvet cupcake with a single candle to blow out. He bought me a wonderful dress that I love so much. For dinner, Austin took me to Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse. He and I aren’t big on fancy shmancy restaurants, but this was a thoughtful treat since we both figured we should go to this before we move out of Chicago. The food was absolutely delicious. I was a little disappointed that they weren’t playing the Space Jam sound track though, but whatever. Hee hee. After dinner we went to a Second City show. It was pretty hilarious, I’m glad we went. Thank you very much for a beautiful birthday, Austin. I love you very much. Also, thank you everyone for the Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Text, birthday messages. I appreciate it a lot and am lucky to have wonderful friends, even though most people (I haven’t talked to in ages) only greeted me because Facebook said it was my birthday in the upper right hand corner, it’s cool. <3 Love you guys!

Chicago

Happy Mother’s Day to all the awesome moms, especially mine, she’s the best. 

:]

Thanks so much everyone for the lovely birthday wishes. <3

To my favorite honey boo boo child:

I love ya, I miss ya, you’re the best and thank GOODNESS you were born because so many people have been touched by your friendship, humor, kindness, creativity, and hard work. All five of those things are essential Karen things. If I were to have them as ingredients and added some sugar and spice, I’d get one lovely dino-loving lady.

 

You’re great and I hope you have a great day.

Loveeeee,

Cambamthankyouma’am <3
