swarbles.

a mostly goodhearted twentynine year old lady who lives in a land where it's winter half the year. starlings nest in the soffit along the side of my house and mourning doves roost under the roof above of my door stoop. i fall in love all the time.

sometimes i sing.
sometimes i make things.

One Otter Plays Lookout As the Other Naps on a Seaweed Bed

This little church was once called St. Luke Baptist Church but nicknamed Little Zion. It was built by and for the African American slaves in 1883. The land was once part of the Cleona Plantation. It became abandoned in the early part of 1970. The pastor retired and the people started attending other local churches. I went back there not long ago to take more photos. I was very sad to see that this old church had completely collapsed! I’m just grateful that I was able to photograph it a few times while it was still standing.

Otters Can Make Sleeping on Slanted Roofs Look Comfortable

Via Das Otterhaus

it is looking as though one of the best life choices i ever made was pledging enough money to the music tapes kickstarter to get to choose the board member of the music tapes pledge level in addition to the level i pledged at as well (still not disclosing what level that was), so i don’t have to worry about trying to snag neutral milk hotel tickets whenever they finally wander up to the northeast. even though there are no northeast tour dates yet, surely there will be at some point in time in the next two years.

so glad i saw the writing on the wall with the differentiating text between the friend of and board member levels (“be on The Music Tapes guest list for a Music Tapes performances in your area, and sit in reserved seating right up front (where available)” versus “be on the guest list PLUS A FRIEND, for two area performances of any music project featuring Julian in the next two years (limit to one show per tour), and sit in reserved seating near the front (when available), visit the Music Tapes backstage”). it set off a little light bulb that i had forgotten about until that weird picture emerged.

it also looks like this means i get to hang out backstage? which is a bit… crazy. i’m glad that my life has taken all sorts of weird turns and i’m somehow already friends with julian and have at least met scott (and jeff, but that was still a bit overwhelming), because otherwise, i’m pretty sure i wouldn’t be able to function in such a situation. i might not anyway.

i don’t understand anything about anything.
