Host Analog, by Buster Simpson, is a huge rotting tree, splayed on its side in sections a la a fallen column at a greek ruin. it’s a miniature pacific northwest rainforest floor, with all sorts of goodness sprouting up and around it. love.

i’m also posting other awesomeness from my travels daily to flickr. for instance, i ate a delicious fig and anise roll from the divine little gourmet shop, pastaworks. mmm tasty.

today is the first day of my three week west coast tour! i slept almost the whole way to pdx, but woke up in time to take a snap of mt rainier hood! i’ll be posting more pics as i take ‘em.

after a long hiatus, i’m back to blogging.  i’ll try to get the old posts up here, but until then, i’ll do my best to entertain y’all (if there is any y’all left to entertain) with new thoughts.
