good afternoon, and welcome to the snowy life! there's nothing like waking up and seeing that the streets and houses are already covered with a heavy dusting of that white stuff.

oh! this might be a good time for an update in order to avoid any confusion. my studio is no longer in the tropical city of pasadena, california. i've moved into my own space in new haven, connecticut , the new home of vanessa jean's. sunny california might be warmer right now, but new haven has some nice perks and i actually like the snow. i do miss the crew in pasadena, but the interns (phil & em) are holding down the fort, or so they say. they'll keep the updates coming from the warmer west.
