Claire Sloan.
I like Claire Sloan‘s name. And I really like her Sleep for Days series of photographs, a set of time-lapsed shots taken during snoozes.

The Daily Eat: Gazpacho.
Seems like gazpacho has become somewhat of a trendy dish lately (I’m nothing if not up on the trends). It’s basically cold, raw veggie soup with a tomato base. A perfectly light summer dish that when served with crusty French bread is irresistible.

This week’s Word is brought you by none other than one of my very, very favorite, favorite bloggers – Melisa of The Lil Bee…
{via ffffound – photographer?}
I look too wrinkled? I do, right? I’m wrinkled. Shoot. Should I steam? Maybe I could hang it in the shower for a minute. Wait, no…it’s already 9:15! Omigod I am so late. Shoot, I cannot go out like this. Can I? Maybe if I blow-dry it I can get some wrinkles out! Perfect.
Ouch! S#it, damnit, what the, I burned my leg! Omigod ow. You know what? Screw it. It’s 92 f’ing degrees out anyway. I don’t even care if I’m wrinkled. Stupid job. At least I tried. Unlike Dumpy McDumperson Boss Lady. She’ll probably wear her “sensible shoes” again. Heinous. Whatever. All right, I’m out of here. Love you, see you later, hon!!
Oh, s#it. Where are my keys? Have you seen my KEYS??!!
