i wish an orchestra & someone with a boombox would follow me around so that my life would continuously be accompanied by a soundtrack.

i love her big eyes and her creative imagination... and the fact that she's speaking in french. okay, i mean, french people do speak in french [duh], but it's so adorable when a cute little kid is the one doing it. hahaha.

All the things my feet thought to be firm
Are falling with urgency
And tearing back my false sense of security


You have been more faithful than the morning sun
You have been more faithful than knowing night will come
You have been more faithful than the changing of seasons

twilight and the gorge

one of the cool things about watching twilight was seeing familiar locations [to us oregonians], like the columbia gorge, multnomah falls, oh and the woods! there's just something about the woods up here in the northwest. they're different from forests in other parts of the country. i can tell the difference. hahaha. for example, the "woods" in the decode video by paramore - not a northwest forest! it's probably a fake one, you know, somewhere in LA. haha.

i was randomly browsing through my flickr and came upon this image:
columbia river gorge

and i thought, it looks a lot like the first bit of the twilight trailer:


well, it's not shot from the exact same spot. they probably shot the movie from the washington side, facing the oregon side, and much further down [eastward]. i shot the picture from the oregon side, at the Portland Women's Forum State Park viewpoint [the one stop right before the vista house]. i thought it still had some similarities. i should just make the picture a little gloomier, maybe add some ominous dark clouds, and flip it. hahaha.

How can I decide what's right
When you're clouding up my mind?
