about me

My photo
i am a dreamer, an idealist, a creator, an introvert, a thinker, and an all-around neat person...if i do say so myself.

3-D mail

not many people utilize the united states postal service anymore. but who doesn't love getting something fun in the mail?
my friend alissa and i try to send each other as much for-reals mail as we can. and i always get excited when something comes from her.
i received an extra-fun package from her on wednesday.
it contained...


two of my favorite candy bars in the whole world, purchased in canada. a poster from one of my favorite bands, of montreal. a sticker from this year's portland zine symposium. a polaroid from a coconut records album. a drawing alissa did of my cat newton. the latest clutch/invincible summer split zine. (i'm super-excited about this) one of alissa's gocco prints of a pregnant octopus riding a bicyle. the outside of the package has her grandmother's persimmon cookie recipe. (can't wait to try that one out.) and a circa 2000 photo of me with orange hair in front of the chicago museum of contemporary art.

equal parts random, delightful and delicious.
it pretty much made my day.

i wish i had half of her creative brain cells.


i saw crunchies in the store here the other day. i thought about mailing some but i thought they'd get all melty and gross in route. ah well, there will be more waiting for you when you come visit! :)

...i didn't even think about how random it was, they're just things i knew you'd appreciate, heh.
micah you're welcome to borrow some random creativity when you need it.
