Office by Alex Penny
I'm Rae. Living in LA. Loving my cats, derby, movies, scuba diving, baking, skating, tattoos, biking. Trying to figure myself and this life out...
Got questions?
There’s always money in the banana stand! And some frozen bananas. #bluth #banana #arresteddevelopment #bananastand (at The Grove)
Is that a banana stand I spy? #bananastand #theresalwaysmoneyintgwbananastand (at The Grove)
It’s getting warmer and that means more bikes! This is a good read for bikers AND drivers. Be aware and safe out there guys!

You’re not tired of dating; you’re just tired. You’re tired of bearing the weight alone. You’re tired of an empty apartment and dinner for one. You’re tired of ricocheting off yourself and slugging shots at the bar. You’re tired of playing dress up with no one to dress you down. You’re tired of the excruciating loneliness that creeps onto tingling skin, begging for touch like sucking for air. And so am I. So is she. So is he, and that girl, and those boys, and so many other people you see on the train, in the market, across the table. But we keep doing it because it’s worth it, because it’s everything, because for all the awkward hellos and terrible dinners, there’s one flawed masterpiece who’s singing your harmony in the SUV three parking spots over.
It’s not about dating. It’s never been about getting set up or going online or any of the crazy things we do to meet someone; it’s not about any of that. It’s about faith. It’s about hope. It’s about remembering the person you’re looking for isn’t a checkmark, but a journey, a stroke of luck, an oh my god and a holy shit and a you won’t believe what happened. It’s the best part of life. And it’s out there. Every great story, every novel and film and letter written only to be burned is about this. And we’re all tired of bearing the weight of those stories… but we bear them together. Keep swimming to the surface, keep swimming ‘til your hands are numb and your lungs are empty and everything is simultaneously tight and enormous because the moment you burst to the surface, your whole existence will change. That’s why we do this. That’s why we do anything.

I met my boyfriend on total chance. Because of a crappy job I was working. Because he went on a tv show with his friend. Because I went to a derby game and had a few too many drinks. Because we walked by each other and I recognized his voice. Because he then asked someone about me. We aren’t perfect and sometimes we’re a total mess. But I love him. And I love the journey that I’m having right now. It’s scary and flawed and beautiful.
Dane Cook showed up for the Bare Bones comedy show. And then Dave Chappelle. #danecook #comedy #laughfactory #davechappelle
It’s not that I don’t like big spiders. It’s that I don’t like them in my office. #spider #bug #gross #getout
My eye caught a dark form lying on the river bottom. It took me a few moments to comprehend what I had stumbled upon. Lying peacefully in the shallow waters of the river, only a few meters from shore, was a full-grown cougar. The contrast between the serenity of the scene I was witnessing and what must have played out here in the cougar’s final moments made me shiver. It was the first shiver of many, as I stripped down and waded out into the icy water to get this shot. x
HOLY HELL WHAT A FIND. This is one of my favorite photos ever now.
This is amazing. So beautiful.

Today is my first day back in the day shift after a year of working night shift. It’s exciting and I’m happy but I’m also (still) ready to move back into post production. One step at a time. And this is a good one!
