Check out the new (and quite frankly long overdue) layout at killmargot.com*!

joyeux anniversaire!

Since moving to Chicago, I haven’t missed New York City much. I mean, I miss the people. I miss you guys, guys. It goes without saying that it’s an amazing, one-of-a-kind city, but I haven’t at any point yet ached to be back there. Feelings of nostalgia creep over me sometimes, when I’m watching a movie and a character’s walking down a street I used to walk down, but that’s about as painful as it ever gets. Until now. Because one of my favorite New York City art galleries, Jonathan Levine, is celebrating it’s 5th anniversary this year and I. WANT. TO. GO.

My one consolation is that Ray Caesar‘s work is, in my opinion, better viewed on a screen than as a print, anyway.

From Such Foulness of Root Does Sweetness Grow, Ray Caesar

Site! Splash!

So the site has been updated. I guess it qualifies as a new layout, but mostly it’s just a simplification. I don’t have internet access from my apartment currently and so it’s nice to be able to make updates from other sites, and from any computer. ANYWAY! I hope to be selling some paper dolls and books on etsy soon, both handmade and remade, which I’m excited about. But I should probably finish them first. Probably.

Keeping Myself on My Toes

I’ve kept a journal, be it a lock and key deal with teddy bear pattern on the cover or the more sophisticated Claire Marie or Moleskine, for most of my life. Me and Livejournal were thick as thieves for a good stretch, and then nothing. Aside from a small red number I keep in my bag for emergencies (being museum notes and therapy during moments when I really want to burn someone at the stake but must instead resort to writing Mean Things about them quietly aboard the PATH train), I don’t really write anywhere anymore. Lists don’t count.

So I thought I’d maybe do that again. This is an attempt at that, and hopefully a more successful “updates” page than the one currently on my website.
