Photobucket
you guys are getting the really unadulterated photos
i dont have photoshop on my laptop so all images are just batch resized with no options of cropping color correction or anything

Photobucket
didnt realize how much i relied on it

Photobucket

one day kate and i just kinda decided to get drunk and blow off going to the Damien Hirst show at the Tate
we thought that would have been what he would have wanted anyway

Photobucket

Photobucket

all i have is tea and a banana here

Photobucket
kate said she was sorry for talking about her kids all the time but i have no friends with kids i just have struggling artists telling me about their artwork and people talking about drugs and parties, so hearing about how Vita pees on the carpet and Iggy is obsessed with new york city because he thinks spiderman lives there is not boring by a long shot

Photobucket
i dont get to see like ONE FLOWER so walking along a canal and seeing this shit everywhere is just as cherishedly novel
