since i decided to stop writing for backwash, i decided to start using good ol’ bittersweetheart.com again. i have every intention of using it as sort of a weekly column ala Hawaiian Punch in Cocktail Glasses— but not right away. in the mean time, i’ll be publishing most of my old backwash stuff over there. you can go check it out if’n you like. at the moment. The Enduring Beauty of Burnt Sienna is up.
