Heartbreak on our Boston work trip, but we move forward. (at Boston, Massachusetts)

The evening when we learned (again) the recipe for sharing feelings times is also the recipe for hotel hall sprinting times which is to say Tito's + Topo + lime + friends. #tbt #mewmewcrew #clickyclickyclique

The spin was a strategic sweat-flinging move—some drunk dudes in the front were getting handsy. Gentlemen: do not touch the bellydancers. And if you tip them, do not expect a lap dance. This is an art form, not a Butt-Naked. #bellydance #manners #notouchytouchy

Woah there, 1992 UI. All chunky buttons and hard gradient progress bars. Does this #AppleHardwareTest come with a copy of Kid Pix, too?

Whiskers the Skating Cat saved you from the clip I was in the process of filming (removal of sharp gravel from bloody hand). #mewmewcrew #frontsidefeline (at Austin, Texas)

7 years ago (see grainy flip phone photo) this week, my badass mom faced, with unflinching bravery and her signature humor, the diagnosis of a tangerine-sized meningioma (what she referred to as "alien baby") and subsequent brain surgery to remove it. Every day, every single day, multiple times a day, I'm grateful that this woman survived. I'm trying to formulate and peck out cohesive thoughts on how unconditional love is precious and rare, but I didn't inherit my mom's stoicism and keep weeping on this confounded screen. Instead, parting advice from an email I sent out about my mom's status in 2010: "Please eat your leafy, green vegetables, exercise three times a week, get away from the computer, drink more water and less soda, and most importantly, tell your mom you love her." Or dad, sibling, mentor. Insert person of unparalleled worth here. Tell them now and often. <3

East Side King, I'm coming for you. Valentine's Day is for treating.

Blair's first encounter with #sabritones / my usual one with Mick / Tequila lets me do things I'm proud of. #montanameetsmexico #honkeytonkwoman #friskybusiness (at Austin, Texas)

[🎸: Julian Casablancas+The Voidz] //Testing my range of motion since physical therapy. Why is there a faux bear head in the background, you ask. That's Jerome—he needs to be hung up by a person more willing to find a stud than I am. I have to buy a tripod or wall mount for my phone. This angle is wholly unacceptable. #youlookweirdlady #dance #fusion #JCVZ

Ready for this one to stop making Frenchies fall for her in Nola and come back to Austin—where bourbon is a drink, not a street and...where we can't consume it while strolling about. Fuck. Just stay there, girl. I'll come to you. 💕 #nolawins #latergram #glampiredforbowienight (at The Jackalope)

Where The Wild Thing Is or The Story of My Hair.

This is a thing that exists just a few miles from my house. As a single person who stopped (alone) to check it out, let me say that if you aren't bringing your significant other/prospective lay here, you're not doing things right. #distractedbyshinyobjects #goonandkissthegirllll (at Mueller Lake Park)

Spinning Plates (Radiohead, live version) in place of dancing or skating. Healing at about a 5, piano skillz a solid 3. #oldhobbies #whatsuperbowl #terribletexan

This is what it looks like when a neck/back injury doesn't side line me from a dance performance. Unlike tonight. Tonight I'm useless. And dance-less. Who wants to watch movies and switch out my heating pad for ice every 20 minutes? Don't everyone volunteer at once now. #realfriendsgivebackrubs

When dancers have to eat dinner in the car on the way to rehearsal, it's a recipe for Sexual Sushi vids. I held it, Blair consumed. #sakeappetizer (at Maru Japanese Restaurant)
