You got me wonderin' why.

These were all taken in the Grand Canyon last summer, when all sorts of flowers were in bloom. :D

Hello, my name is Jimmy Pop.

Hello! I hope you all had a good weekend. Sorry I've been so absent lately. I went on a 6 day camping trip in Grand Gulch, Utah a little while ago. It was super fun, but super trying on my legs, oh man. I only had one disposable camera and I've yet to develop the pictures. It's too bad; I really should have brought another one, but, oh well. Luckily there wasn't any bad weather until the last day, when I was hiking my way out on the roads. I'll make a post about it at some point. I'm on spring break at the moment, down in Phoenix. It's not entirely free time, as I do have some homework due when I get back, on which I'll need to work. The weather lately has been just wonderful. At least in Flagstaff. Nice, sunny spring weather. Truly a nice break from the random snow storms we'd been having. My favorite way to enjoy it, as of now, is just to sit outside and lay in the grass, listen to the birds, and soak up the sun.

In other news, have this grossly sweet picture and try not to upchuck rainbows.

This Brak pillow is super well done.

Love is for lovers.

"A 20th-century artist, Louis Wain, who was fascinated by cats, painted these pictures over a period of time in which he developed schizophrenia. The pictures mark progressive stages in the illness and exemplify what it does to the victim’s perception."

I've been furiously struggling with my internet lately, it's awful. Here's a Tuesday Eats. A resolution I have from now on is to cook more interesting/complicated things than just my simple fall back way of cooking, which is to make things with a sauce and a bed of pasta/rice. While tasty, it can get old, and I have so many good veggies from the food co-op. I'm super excited, actually. I've bought a new cookbook and have been saving lots of things from online. I'm also going to be making my own things of as much as I can from now on, such as jam, yogurt (I made my own strawberry yogurt, it was delicious! But I ate it all before I took pics.), bread, etc! I want to stop buying so much plastic, and I'd rather know what's in my food.
