Annie Maggard

A green/brown-eyed grad student and soon-to-be-archaeologist/sometimes-writer/wannabe-photographer hailing from the lovely industrial/kind-of-hillbilly wasteland of Ashland, Kentucky, who currently lives in the bikeutopia/yuppie-clusterfuck of Fort Collins, Colorado. Has a tendency to drawl long a's and a knack for inappropriate jokes. Loves cooking, hip-hop, flannel shirts, microbrews, owls, knitting, banter, drinking on sundays, and her pickup truck. Devotes inordinate amounts of time and energy to napping and her really ugly dog.

Blogs in an attempt to record/share her overwhelming fascination with/unconditional love for practically everything.

/Song of the Day/ Tor - The Dress Looks Nice on You / Make You Feel That Way

Another good mash, featuring some old school hop and some Sufjan. Kind of eerie.

I want my house to be covered in his patterns someday.

This is a clip from a really unsettling film I saw last night - Dancer in the Dark. It stars Björk (a surprisingly adept actress) and is really strange and disturbing and wonderful. I cried a lot at the end, which is saying something, because I don’t really cry. Also it was over two hours long, and I managed to sit still through the entireity of it, which also speaks volumes.

I think my long-lost indie hall friends will enjoy this especially. Go check it out for free here.

My dog’s new favorite thing: The Pawbender from Goodtimes Burgers & Custard.
It’s dog-safe vanilla custard with dog biscuits and peanut butter inside. For a dollar!

Burning the Old Year

By Naomi Shihab Nye

Letters swallow themselves in seconds.
Notes friends tied to the doorknob,
transparent scarlet paper,
sizzle like moth wings,
marry the air.

So much of any year is flammable,
lists of vegetables, partial poems.
Orange swirling flame of days,
so little is a stone.

Where there was something and suddenly isn’t
an absence shouts, celebrates, leaves a space.
I begin again with the smallest numbers.

Quick dance, shuffle of losses and leaves,
only the things I didn’t do
crackle after the blazing dies.

This is obviously not my child (my friend Rae’s), but it kinda makes me want one or something. In the worst way.

My dear friend Ethan brought this to my attention.

There isn’t much more to say. Besides “thank you,” obviously.

I’ve learned that people will forget what you say to them, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you make them feel.

Confession:

Once when I was at summer camp, I threw a toad in a girl named Margeaux’s shower.
