Dishes

I feel like I do dishes all the time. I have not had a dishwasher in several years. I couldn’t think of a single photo of washing dishes, so I took a few.

Sweet Ritual – Vegan Ice Cream Parlor

January 31st, 2012


Recently my friends opened a vegan ice cream store in Austin, Sweet Ritual. They asked me to take some quick photos of them and their nifty parlor. It’s located on 45th & Duval inside the same building as Daily Juice.. Despite whatever you doubts you may have, it’s absolutely delicious. As a lover of milk-based ice cream, I was dubious, but their ice cream far exceeded my expectations.  It delivers a clean, light, and creamy texture. Go check it out!

Positive Dissent

September 15th, 2011

Shawn Harris - The Matches

I was just saying on Facebook that I’m a huge fan of music about social & political dissent disguised as positive / happy music. I love the idea of people who don’t really pay attention to lyrics enjoying an upbeat song and not realizing it’s possibly counter to their beliefs. This happened a lot in high school. My very fiscally and social conservative friends would listen to a rocking song and ignore the fact that it’s about gay rights, socialism, anti-war, anti-wealth, anti-them.

Most recently from a Belle & Sebastian song, Dress Up in You:

Blow up in the face of my rivals
I swear and I rant, I make quite an arrival
The men are surprised by the language
They act so discreet, they are hypocrites so fuck them too!

So we won’t have to die
We won’t have to deny
Our dirty god
Our dirty bodies ”
