first you were all like woah...

there is more to life than being really really ridiculously good looking

maybe we could get together and eat a bunch of caramels...

you're the cheese to my macaroni

you taste like a burger

i'm never as good as when you're here

in your eyes i am complete

i've got a little buzz... so there's that. and i like you... so there's that. i guess i have that.

just keep swimming. just keep swimming. just keep swimming swimming swimming

can we just skip the vibe and go straight to laughing about this?

nice set of hooters you got there

the only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.

when and where does this "real world" occur?

so what do you want to marry me for?

this card is quoting sweet home alabama.... you know... when mini reese asks mini whatever his name is why he wants to marry her before they get struck by lightening....

so much to say....

dear friends,

so.... i haven't been too successful at the whole blogging thing. it's not for a lack of working though! jujuisgoodluck is coming together one piece at a time. i am not above admitting my mistakes, though, and it was a mistake to launch my blog before i was in a place to devote the attention to it that it deserves. i apologize to all of you who have visited the site and been disappointed to see that it hasn't been updated. i vow to do better. stick with me and i promise we will be friends!

so in really exciting jujuisgoodluck news....

Through etsy I am offering free shipping from now until January 1, 2009... so place your holiday orders! Purchase a set of 7 for $21 as a gift... your friends will love them! check it out:

in other news, thank you to everyone who suggested web designers. the jujuisgoodluck website is in the works... and i will of course blog about it as soon as it is up and running. until then though, please join the jujuisgoodluck mailing list by sending an email to jujuisgoodluck@gmail.com. be sure to include your name, your address (both physical and email), and then your birthday just for fun. i will be doing letterpress mailers soon, so be sure to send me your actual mailing address!

and finally, my friend claire of claire bock photography reshot all of my cards. as you can see, they look amazing. she is a very talented photographer. check out her work at www.clairebock.com.

i think that is all of the major updates for this post. remember, BUY CARDS at jujuisgoodluck.etsy.com! i know that most of us are feeling the pinch financially these days.... but a greeting card is always a wonderful way to make someone's day, and that is, as mastercard says, priceless.

that's all for now.

juju

you are the cheese to my macaroni

can we just skip the vibe and go straight to laughing about this?

this week!

what i am reading: inés of my soul [isabel allende]

what i am listening to: mgmt, time to pretend

photo of the week: 

i finished up my travels and have headed back to pursue some sort of real life! this picture makes it up as my photo of the week because this pursuit of a real life has consisted solely of apartment hunting in new york city. maybe i should just live in this news stand shack.

lyric: i'm gunna quit my job and move to new york

cuz someone told me that's where dreamers should go

i'm gunna quit my job and move to new york

and tattoo my body with every broadway

last thing i wrote in my journal: the what is not so important, but that we should remember. it is the act of remembering, the process of remembrance, the recognition of our past... memories are small prayers to God, if we believed in that sort of thing....

card designer of the week: tori higa

this week!

what i am reading: everything is iluminated

what i am listening to: joshua james, b-sides it's dark outside

photo of the week:

i have been traveling, so it was pretty difficult for me to choose my favorite photograph this week. i chose this one because it is closest to how i feel... standing in an art museum, nose in a book, while the rest of the world blurs by.

last thing i wrote in my journal: (from everything is illuminated) i used to think [writing] was what i was born to do. no, i never really thought that. it's just something people say. [perhaps you were born to write?] i don't know. maybe. it sounds terrible to say. cheap. it's so hard to express yourself. i want to express myself. i'm looking for my voice. i want to do something i'm not ashamed of. [something that you are proud of?] not even. i just don't want to be ashamed.

song lyric of the week: once upon a day i set off on a journey, wishing on the wind- take me far frm home. now i'm on the waves and i'm taking on water, hard to see i won't always be alone.

greeting card designer of the week: curly girl designs
