time vacuum

hi there. are you still with me? i feel very guilty for my shameful neglect of this blog, but i see from my links that i am not alone in this. distracted by life, are we all?

tonight i had high hopes of creating an excessive documentation of our recent trip to sxsw. here's the short version: it was excellent. we got into all the shows we wanted to see and had a great time.

details to come someday. soon, maybe? but, rather than create, i spent my time tonight lost in a spiral of reading the blogs of strangers. i somehow got sucked into looking at dollhouses. believe it or not, this was actually a direct tangent to work.



i stumbled into the fascinating green doll house project, through the bizarre world of new york hipster fathering. from the archived page i entered, at first i thought this blog was simply a catalog of items this man saw for sale on ebay; but, it isn't quite. it is super heavy on the commercial consumption of parenting. i find it very strange. from conversations with deb, and from the posts and comments on this blog, i am led to believe that the baby-as-fashionable-accessory mode of parenting dominates in nyc.

to prove that i might not be much better, i really like this linked knitting pattern: baby's first dna model by kimberly chapman
