Sorting through some of my photos from the Netherlands, I'm *almost certain that I walked through a Vermeer painting. Below is The Little Street, an unknown location which he painted. But look at my evidence! I found The Little Street!
* Yeah, I'm exaggerating.
Viva
Circus Circus. Dirty, low minimum bets, & footlongs.
Huge interactive type, yes please!
The M&M store has the complete rainbow of chocolate covered candies. I needed olive and mustard, my current favorite palette.
In reality, he eventually had exactly zero riches, and his entire life was inventoried and auctioned off. So, to be more accurate, this machine should rewards winners with paint brushes, silk scarves & fancy hats.
Faux France
Faux France even has a Hector Guimard nouveau style metro shelter. If I'm not mistaken, there is only one original still in use today. I'll have to go to France to confirm :)

Pottery Barn catalogs + IKEA table + paper glue = THIS!
It was a messy project, and I loved every tedious second of it.
Bendaroos are the perfect toy. For 20something year olds.

Thom is helpful.
Rang in 2010 (aka: the year of kerning) with lovers & strangers && cats in Flipadelphia.
Good fortune feast: Mike and I struggled to find an open Chipotle in Maryland on NYE. The only feature the Chipotle iOS app doesn't have is telling you whether or not the place is actually open. & as luck would have it, Ryanbrian brings our craving to the fiesta: 17 gallons of pico & guac and about 2000 crispy corn treats tossed in lime.
Good fortune felines: Marty McFly has a dizzy cerebellum and walks like he's intoxicated. Rooney was broken in other various ways too. Bless their little keet hearts!
Good fortune fest: Following the sounds of trumpets in the AM brought me to this flamboyant parade (which I later learned is called the Mummers Parade). The parade hadn't quite started yet so I walk through the sea of costumes and chat with these people.

"Parades just bring out so many emotions in me: joy, exciting, looking…"
