23

"I see 23 as being two victorian windows with very nice, wooden frames that warp in the rain." - My friend Andrés and I spent Sunday night, or nearly morning, discussing our interpretations of each number, and how each number has a personality. I like 4s and 2s most. Odd numbers are just up to no good. Except 23. The 2 makes everything ok. And so, a list of 23 nice things:

1. black tea with just a bit of cardamom and soymilk, 2. photographs with perfect lighting, 3. making polaroids with poladroid, 4. my new friend clementine, 5. reading in the bath, 6. soul music when it's cold, 7. keri smith, 8. cinnamon, 9. good cheap red wine, 10. lucy and desi crying during the filming of the we're having a baby scene, 11. making chocolate cupcakes and giving them away, 12. 'hopelandic' or vonlenska on sigur rós's () album, 13. minimalism, 14. note-taking in moleskine cahier notebooks (the brown ones), 15. brackets in general as they are rather useful, 16. getting caught in perilously high winds, 17. getting lost in a book late in the afternoon and not noticing that the sun has set and there is but a tiny a bit of light by which to read, 18. agave nectar in tea, 19. bears, 20. food photography but more specifically breakfast photography, 21. km (my cat stepped on the keyboard, and that is what he was eager to add, apparently, and I'm keeping it), 22. yoga in a warm room on a snowy day, 23. this photo.
