Oscarblue

May he rest in peace

I got Oscar in Berkeley, Ca 16 years ago on Telegraph avenue. My friend Joelle worked at a booth on the street selling sea shell pipes and called me when she saw the box of kittens.. I came down right away and picked the lil guy that was hiding behind a blanket. We then drove off in my 64 Dodge dart to my warehouse in East Oakland. I state the car because it had bench seating and after the initial scare of "who are you?!!" from Oscar, he then crawled up in the top of the seat and put his paw on my shoulder as I drove. I was 20 years old.

He was my buddy, my partner in crime and made my world. I moved all over Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco and as long as he had a lap to stretch out on, it was all ok. I will miss him so much and loved him dearly.

Albums to ride to

My husband and I share in taking our daughter to day care every week.

My days are Monday's and Friday's and when I am not taking her, I ride my bike to work.

I love my bike and I love my ride. We live along the waterfront, so my ride consists of me

dazing off at the water with music bringing me along the way.

Here are my Top five morning pics:

I did not write the album, because it really doesn't have to go down to that detail for me in the morning. It is all about the melody and voice (or lack there of).

1.) Joy Division

2.) Belle & Sebastian

3.) Led Zepplin

4.) Feist

5.) Modern Lovers

At the end of the day, it gets a little tricky. There are a lot more factors involved, you never know where the day is going to take you. I am going to leave it open ended right now and will come back to that one later. I also hear my girl calling me..sweet thing.

Joana Vasconcelos

There are people in this world that completely amaze me. Joana is one of them. I found these dogs on a trend watch from WGSN and then went from there into the world of this woman from Portugual. Check out her site and notice that everytime you go in, the background changes. Time to get lost for awhile, have fun!
