Meanwhile, I love this:

      

(fictional) New York City urban etiquette posters. 

Brilliant.

Arrived in the Mile High and before the internet could get hooked up, my computer suffered some sort of stroke. Crimeny. Right as I'm sitting here with no Web, no car, no job, nothing but loads of time to devote to novel-writing. I suppose I should have impulse-purchased that old typewriter I saw in Chicago. That'll teach me to be frugal.


So the computer is in the shop and it's going to cost me about $300 to fix, and hopefully nothing I've saved there will get erased, like my research, and photos, and wedding info, and the images I've saved for this blog, and my entire iTunes library. I tried to perform an emergency back up of my stuff, but the computer froze mid-burn and went black. Clearly, my computer is an anarchist.

This, apparently, is the typewriter Hemingway owned, and actual descendants of some of his cats. I love how the descendants of Hemingway's cats have been traced, but my family still isn't entirely sure if great grandpa came from Russia or Germany.

I love this dress. I tore it out of a magazine years ago and saved it. I kind of always wanted to be that bride. I mean, hello gorgeous cloud-like whipped tulle fairy tale princess gown.

Just one eensy problem: I have no idea who made that delicious gown. Neglected to save that information.

I'm gonna miss it

 

The Matisse exhibit at the Chicago Art Institute. And oh, how I wanted to go! But the To Do list has gotten out of control, and we leave for Colorado Monday. Sad face.

So I am sharing some Fauve-ulous pics that I like in honor of my jilted plans.

Obviously, these images aren't art history. But they have that Crayola-licious look that the Fauves brought forth.
