Life is the Story: The Travelogue

By on October 21, 2011 in Travel


Lucy Knisley gives her tips, trick and advice on keeping a travelogue, an illustrated travel journal. I really should get in the habit of doing a small version of this. I do love going back through old sketchbooks and journals, as embarrassing as they can be sometimes, it’s intriguing to have this part of my life that’s so captured in time.

Mini Fire

Burnt power cord
I’ve been working on some things related to this post, so I didn’t get to touch on my little computer drama that happened Thursday.

My biggest problem with my Mac has been its power… or its declining ability to hold it. The battery, unplugged, doesn’t work for over 20 minutes. This means I am more and more reliant on my power adapter cord. Well, I’ve having problems with it as well! This lameness included some exposed wires and disconnection of power. I should have imminently discarded the old cord, I know, but, I’m one of the biggest cheap-skates (ever), and I thought I could just tape it up and be done with it… *hangs and shakes head*

Thursday morning, before the caffeine had even made its way through my system, the cord caught fire! It was put out very quickly (thank you, Love) and there was minimal damages (small burn mark on the wall and burnt tape gunk on the desk).

Oooo, adventures before 9-in-the-morning!
