Ailes de Verre: December 2010
http://melaniehoyt.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2010. 30 Days of Skating. I'll edit in some photos later, if I get an internet signal again in Detroit. I'm currently on a train leaving Chicago, and I have mobile 4G for my computer, but the signal will probably die shortly. Day 11: Who are your five favourite men’s skaters? Coincidentally, I'm wearing a Harvard sweatshirt right now. Most of the reason why I've spent most of my life fascinated with Harvard is because P-Dub went there. Labels: 30 days of skating. Why i love challenge.

Ailes de Verre: May 2010
http://melaniehoyt.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 26, 2010. This spring, I started working the early shift twice a week, unloading shipment and stocking shelves. It's tough to get up so early, but I love the feeling of leaving work in mid-morning, when everyone else is tucked away in their office cubicles and the tourists haven't descended upon the city yet. It's extra nice when a splash of colour greets me just a few steps north of my store:. As if the tulips weren't enough, there were daffodils blooming in the West Loop. We'd appreciate...

Ailes de Verre: September 2009
http://melaniehoyt.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 2, 2009. I'm so sporadic with this blog. In my defense, shortly after my last post, I embarked on a fantastic adventure. I spent two weeks photographing figure skating events in Ottawa and Lake Placid. I went to Montréal. For less than eight hours. I saw friends - both old and new, took over 50,000 photos (ah, the life of a sports photographer.going to need a new shutter soon! Laughed until the wee hours of the morning most nights, survived attacks from giant spiders and a batlike.

Ailes de Verre: 2011, european heaven (pt 2)
http://melaniehoyt.blogspot.com/2011/12/2011-european-heaven-pt-2.html
Tuesday, December 20, 2011. 2011, european heaven (pt 2). Picking up where I left off with my last entry, here's the 2nd third of 2011! Other than that, I think I mainly stayed inside and planned for the Europe trip! I also treated myself to brunch at the Bongo Room on my actual birthday, and then I went to Toronto for Sixth Annual Birthday Weekend with Jules and Christina. The show was awesome! With more entries still to come. So in here, I will pick one photo per day to post. June 17: Arrive in London,...

Ailes de Verre: April 2010
http://melaniehoyt.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. 2010 has been a great year so far. I've already made some fabulous memories and quite honestly, being at the Olympics was a lifetime dream come true. I'm really not that old, so I consider myself a very lucky girl. But amid all of the excitement and happiness that 2010 has brought, I've also been suffering from a lack of inspiration and confidence. Last night, we workshopped half of the exercises, including mine. And guess what! This is certainly a photo I'm proud of, and I've ...

Ailes de Verre: November 2009
http://melaniehoyt.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 3, 2009. So, does anyone read Things I Bought That I Love. It's Mindy Kaling's blog—she plays Kelly on The Office. However, occasionally, I buy something that is so fantastic that I am able to enjoy it freely after only, like, maybe a week of shopper's guilt. This is a huge victory for me, and I feel so awesome about these purchases that I just have to tell people. Black Corduroy Jacket, Smart Set. First of all, I totally love Smart Set. Green Walnut Masque, Warren Tricomi.

Sunday, January 8, 2012. 2011, european heaven (pt 3). And almost within the first week of 2012, I'm ready to finish recapping the rest of 2011. I hope I'm this on the ball all year long. What's a better way to kick off September than a Labor Day weekend celebration of amazing food with two fabulous friends? I sure don't know, so I was thrilled that Christina and Jules came to Chicago to visit me! Jules poses at the park in Oak Park before house-hunting. She plans to move into this house. In mid-October,...

Ailes de Verre: January 2011
http://melaniehoyt.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 11, 2011. 30 Days of Skating. Day 15: What is your favourite men's professional/show program? I skipped over pro/show programs when I wrote about my favourite programs in earlier blog posts, because I had some questions that I wanted to change later. Question #15 was about predicting medalists for Sochi, which I find pointless when we haven't even hit 2011 Worlds, so time for a switcharoo. The skater is Kurt Browning, the music is "Nyah" from the Mission Impossible: 2. 30 Days of Skating.

Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Stress, pasta, and bit o' recognition. So here's a blog in 3 parts. Does one say "partie une" or "partie un? Partie has got to be feminine, right? But 'une' still looks wrong. Francophones, please advise.). For Thursday's class and write a final draft of my research proposal, because that's due too, and oh, I basically have to leave directly from class on Thursday to get to the airport because I'm going to San Francisco for the weekend. So when I moved to Michigan and into my fir...
