Symphony of Construction (035)

Elevator in the Candlewood Suites in Austin, TX. Under construction, made me a little nervous.

Drinking Raspberry Chia Kombucha (034)

I'm trying kombucha now and then, because it's supposed to be great for digestion and I have digestion issues.

If you look closely at this bottle of Synergy Chia Kombucha, you can see the thousands of tiny chia seeds in the beverage. The drink has the usual sour-fermenting-kombucha smell, which is unappealing. It tastes delicious, because of the raspberry juice. However, the texture is...well, it's viscous and full of tiny seeds. So, yeah. It's something you just swallow down, it seems. I have chewed the tiny seeds in a mouthful after rolling it around in my mouth a bit, and that's okay.

It's very good for you, though. Chia seeds have 8 times more omega-3s than salmon, more antioxidants than blueberries, and more fiber than oatmeal. We'll see if all that translates into any noticeable difference for me today.

Fashionable Lioness (033)

I'm trying something new with my hair, and just letting it sort of be wild. I like it. What do you think?

Fluffy Hair, Fuzzy Sweater (032)

Today is a comfortable day. This green sweater is utterly fuzztastic. Also I washed my hair this morning, but I didn't have time to style it at all; this is what you get when I dry my hair with a hairdryer and a brush (as opposed to letting it dry naturally curly).

Two Robots Down, 10 Robots Remaining (031)

I finished the January robot and the February robot! Then I took this well-staged action shot. Also, my hair is in its natural state of curl.

Building a Paper Robot! (030)

I bought a Buildable Paper Robots calendar for 2012, and I am building January's robot, Radiacto, on my breaks. As you can see, I am perplexed by Radiacto's complexity. Or maybe I'm just hamming it up. WHO CAN EVER KNOW??

NYC Toy Fair 2012: Wanderlust (029)

Two photos of me, wandering around NYC. Our flight was at 4pm, so I had several hours to myself that morning. I walked from The New Yorker Hotel up to Central Park, walked the length of the park, meandering around in it, and then up to 87th and Broadway. Then back to the hotel. 11.1 miles altogether, in 3 hours. It was super fun!
