F is for French fries. In other news, I ate them all.
Last month at @letter_west, @erikmarinovich talked about striking while the iron is hot. I took this to heart and launched into the alphabet with great enthusiasm. By now things have cooled, particularly as I’m making multiple shopping trips to track down the right foods. I was really hoping for Fruit by the Foot! Alas, next time.
Since studying with Gemma O’Brien at Letterwest last summer, I feel like my mind has been opened to different ways to letter and communicate visually through type. When I was working on my project in her class and hit a wall, she gave me some advise to add an in-line to add depth. So (confession time), even though I never wrapped that project, I integrated it here!
While I was in the south of Spain recently, I had the chance to attend a dance festival where I danced for 4 hours every day. Of course that wasn’t the plan — I had modestly signed up for 2 hours a day, but in Andalucia, flamenco studios are as common as yoga studios are here, so I couldn’t resist a few extra classes. As a result, I wore out the soles of my shoes and had to buy a replacement pair… or two.
How marvelous it is to live in your body instead of your head! We walked everywhere, took long lunches, ate more than one dinner a day, saw shows every night, and lived slow. Europeans do it right with their life balance.
Where are you traveling to this year?
