I live in Arkansas now. Mostly I write here. I wrote this.
I’m sorry I’ve left y’all high and dry for so long. I hope it won’t happen again, but I’m not making any promises.
I only had about a month in Mississippi (post-Pakistan) before moving to Arkansas, which is sad, because I pretty much adore Mississippi.
This is the Ross Barnett Reservoir, in early morning, taken from my parents’ porch. Wish I had had a little more time with it.
This time featuring the lovely Ellen Burton, the daughter of my mom’s high school best friend and the woman I am named after…

Another Pakistan flashback: This girl and her family are 2010 flood victims. On the day I took this photo, they had just been given a new house, compliments of a couple of nonprofits and a generous Belgian man. I love this bright yellow wall, which is actually the color of all the walls in the house. The girl was shy at first, but then she started grinning like she would never stop. Read more about these families here.
It’s been awhile since I’ve given you any pictures of Pakistan. Okay, actually, it’s been awhile since I’ve given you anything at all. I can’t seem to stay off the road these days, and since an iPad is, unfortunately, not in my immediate future, y’know how it goes…
Anyhow, Pakistan has lots of nifty carts. Here are two of them.
Run Dan Run has just released a new shoegaze-y, pretty and kinda (sometimes) jazzy album called Normal. And I’m just listening for the first time now–only four songs in–or I’m sure I would’ve rambled along for a nice, self-indulgent, few more lines of adjectives.
I interviewed the band for The Southwing when they played New York a few years back. These guys are fantastic musicians and fantastic people, and that is my objective, journalistic statement.
