Foolish gibberish

  • AboutI am also known as CraftyMoni elsewhere on the web. I am a Children’s Librarian. I am a photographer. I am a knitter. I am a reader. I am a wannabe poet. I blog. Sometimes I complain. I like to swear. I have a really twisted sense of humor. I think I might be a Zen Buddhist (Still trying to decide). Not a fan of organized religion. I am very liberal and can be vocal about it at times. I’m a daydreamer. Sometimes sassy. I try to be compassionate. I think I’m pretty nice most of the time. You can delve into deeper waters by reading these posts. You can see my photography on my Flickr page. If you like any photos you see there or on this site and would like to buy a print let me know. I would be happy to sell one to you! I blather about library stuff on  Twitter. You will also find me on Google+ and Facebook. Enjoy your visit!

    A few weeks ago I downloaded a really cool app for my iPhone: Poemflow. I completely forgot about it until this morning. I opened it up and was delighted by it! You can see today’s poem here. Check out, also, this Billy Collins poem, “Another Reason I Don’t Keep A Gun In The House.” Fabulous! I was hoping to embed it in this blog post but WordPress won’t let me. Please click on the link to check it out. It is worth the trouble!

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Two Subjects

    April 19, 2012

    I happened upon The Daily Post At WordPress.com last week and was totally stoked  since I’m doing my own post-a-day challenge for 2012. Yay for daily inspiration! They offer a weekly photo challenge, which makes me extra stoked, being a lover of photography and all.

    This week’s challenge (which I am late in joining) is “Two Subjects.” I took this one in Spokane during the photoroll. I have a slight obsession with reflections. I don’t know why or what that says about me but I love to photograph them.

    I had fun going through old photo albums when I was in Spokane this past weekend. Here is a photo that was taken in 1991? Or thereabouts. I was living in Los Gatos, California and working as a nanny and was in Spokane for Christmas. I was 22. My brothers are in the picture with me.

    April 17, 2012

    I had a busy weekend! I visited my home town, Spokane. Here is a list-ey post with some highlights:

    • I met up with some of my photographer friends on Saturday morning. We played cameras downtown for a few hours. It was very fun! I hope that we are able to get together again soon. Too much time goes by in-between these meet-ups. I brought my Holga and my Pentax K7 with me. I shot two rolls of 120 film, one black and white and one color. I am looking forward to getting them developed.  In the meantime, here is a shot of some graffiti, made with the digital camera.
    • I had dinner with some more of my photographer friends later that evening at Zola. I had never been there. I  had the mac-n-cheese and it was fabulous.  I also laughed so hard I cried. I had to leave when the band started playing ’cause I was turning into a pumpkin.
    • I met up with my dad and step-mom for breakfast the next day. My dad bought an iPad a few months ago so I got to actually play with one close up which led to:
    • I bought an iPad. yep. If you have one please tell me your must-have apps.
    • I got my hair did. My  brother’s fiancée offered to color my hair when I asked her about the topic. It’s actually a lot darker than the picture shows. I love it!

    So there you go. My weekend in bullets. See you tomorrow!
