jewelry...

my etsy site is currently down because i took all my jewelry to zoe, a boutique on 4th ave in tucson where it is currently for sale on consignment!

ouch

today i went and saw an APN (advanced practice nurse) and found out my foot is infected so i have to take antibiotics. this must explain why my foot hurts so badly i can barely walk! road rash sucks.

OBAMA!!!

kristen: it really, really did happen!

i am so happy. my eyes start tearing up everytime i think about it and i get shivers.
this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

me llamo catalina!

so that is about all i learned in my spanish class which i have now dropped. i just don't have time at the moment for 2 biology classes plus trying to learn a new language when i need to really focus on the science classes. so some other time. i like however, that my name is catalina in spanish...i even have my own mountains here in tucson, the catalinas. how nice.

today i learned...

that if you have liver disease your poop will be white.

Tokujin Yoshioka's Crystal Forest

Swarovski flagship store in Tokyo, opened this year. i want to go there.

pica...not just a unit of measurement!

Pica is also a disorder where one has strong cravings to eat non-food substances such as chalk, dirt, freezer frost, clay, etc. It has been linked to iron-deficient patients as well as pregnant women and can affect people of all ages.

the meeting.

someone emailed me this picture of one curious deer.

dedication

the creation of this blog is dedicated to my dear friend kristen. through her blog, i can see other parts of the world through her eyes, which she captures so well behind a camera.
