after culling through about six thousand photos, i have concluded that there is nothing i love more than a closely cropped saucy self portrait.

it’s a good thing i’ve bought a machine that aids and abets this addiction.

in a nod to my current studies of female painters of the Renaissance, i have named my new Macbook Sofonisba (Anguissola), my hard drive Artemisia (Gentileschi) and my new iPod Elisabetta (Sirani).

and for the record, nothing smells more delicious than a brand new Apple laptop.

and ps. yes, my dining room really is that color. god bless oops paint.
