Nomadic nesting. Paper cuts. Music, literature, film, art, craft, interior design & architecture. What I like, I like a lot.

I probably would not do the same thing, often with the same songs, if it weren’t for her. My favorite version:

So long, Marianne. RIP. Her passing turned me on to her starring in, "The Girl on a Motorcycle." Apparently, She's Always Naked Under Leather.
This 1974 Honda CB750 cafe racer is for sale near me...
Yes to this color scheme. No to that corner sink. No.

Can't stop thinking about it. In this doc, she discusses "character" and being responsible for one's life. Truly bracing how blunt she is about her own.
