Vox Hunt: Photography - [this is joy]

Show us a photo that captures the feeling of joy.


Easter 07 007
Easter 07 007
My niece who lives in Seattle came to visit for Easter holiday this year.  Her mom (my first cousin, Fe) sneaked out early in the morning while she was still asleep and left her with the rest of the family... I drove my cousin to every possible store open at that hour ... and we bought her an Easter basket of goodies.  This is her reaction when she woke up to find what the easter bunny dropped off for her.

Vox Hunt: Photography - Favorite Photo Of Me

Show us your favorite photo of yourself.

I think maybe I was three or four in this photo.  Absolutely no clue (/care) about keeping my mouth closed while eating, since well.. I was three or possibly four, who knows.  Most likely going off about how awesome the cereal was or my game plan for play time that day

I love my pigtails... and the use of hand gesture + spoon to make my point.

I am beginning to wonder if my period of feeling blue will see more of this pairing...  a polaroid with dreamy, slightly sad instrumentals ...  both translate my mood and feeling quite well.

It is almost 2am, I should really get some sleep...

by the way, I am in love with this song.

I know I know!... yes it's cheeseballs and this sounds like a cut from Ibiza Hits v. 27, but seriously... it came up on my iTunes yesterday...and literally I was like, "WTF...how do I have this?... hmmm... it's pretty good... wow..."

I like it when my iTunes switches it up a bit and sprouts some good stuff I didn't even know I had...

Flight of the Conchords- Albi (racist dragon)
I fell in love with Flight of the Conchords late 2005, when my buddy Doug, texted me at 1 in the morning after viewing their half hour show on HBO. I just remember him saying, "Duuuude Mel, I just watched the best comedy ever.. you would soooo love them, they do all that folk sh*t you like, but hella funny...!"

And I sooooo love them, he was right.

Albi the racist dragon nearly killed me ..my blog title being the impetus to that near-comedic...my death by laughter moment. They are super funny.... lots of great bits in that half hour.... and they also have their own show on HBO!

I am very much addicted to this song.  I play it so much and leave it on repeat for so long ... and I can't even explain why it hits me in all the right places.  Possibly the layer of mariachi in the background?... his perfect pitch?... his strange but welcomed resemblance to Gael Garcia Bernal on his album cover?, maybe... hehe... but anyway.. this song was part of the Mauwy and Ali wedding mix.. of course.  So damn good.

I love it. so much.

I walk around work singing it.. I sing it everywhere.... I roll up my windows so I can sing it loudly in my car... it's like that.

  1. kickass international friends
  2. fishing
  3. shopping
  4. whale watching

  6. local festivals
  7. viking stories from local elders! (this is most excellent and super rad)
  8. playing with sheep
  9. napping on a real meadow
  10. birdwatching
  11. arts and crafts time
  12. love letters left on my bed from norweigan boy... flowers and candy from a korean one.
  13. practical jokes on the team leaders after lights out
  14. sneaking out to hike ..and watching the stars with my best camp friends
  15. wearing sweaters and exploring the island
  16. vast expanse of serious scandanavian exploration
  17. the six weeks post-camp of traveling through europe...

oh, id say i pretty much loved EVERYTHING. best experience on a foreign space..to date.
