Embarassing Admission
You know the phrase “nip it in the bud?”
My entire life, I’ve been saying “nip it in the butt.” That’s 22 years of people probably thinking, “Did she just say what I think she did?” and then shrugging it off and not telling me I had it wrong. Oh for lollerskates….
At least I have good [...]

I heart art
Back in Leonardo’s day, few artists’ works were ever seen by anyone other than their mother — actually, I guess by the time you became a decent artist, your mother would probably have died in child birth or of cholera — but I digress. Today, we have the privilege not only of attending museums filled [...]

Aquamarine Love

Wes Anderson really can’t go wrong in my book. I’m going to have to watch something by him again soon for my indie fix.

Cuteness Refill
This week, I give the supreme in cuteness, combining hedgehogs and home-made bread for a fatal one-hit cuteness overdose.

Treasures
I’ve been geocaching lately, and to be honest, I’ve been a little disappointed in the items I’ve found. I had always imagined geocaching to be like this scene from Amelie when she discovers the treasures a little boy had hidden in her apartment 40 years previous, and decides to return them to him.

For the romantics
The Beatles, I Will
Yesterday Jeff was playing the Beatles song “I Will” to me, and the lyrics just spoke to me in a completely surprising and delightful way.
Who knows how long I’ve loved you
You know I love you still

I [...]

My love affair with TED
Lately I’ve gotten back into watching TED videos and I had a few I wanted to share. Despite being a humanities major, I have an unquenchable love of science, and these two lectures do a great job at explaining cutting edge science, and how it informs our human experience.

Dreaming of boytoys and rappers
People who know me well know that I have bizarre and entertaining dreams almost every night, but this one was too funny not to share with the general public. It goes like this:
I was at some sort of large party that my family was throwing, and had a boy problem. I was with my current [...]

On Dandies
As a lion hunter would study his lioness quarry, I have recently been pondering the fascinating creature of the dandy. To my surprise, there are several websites and articles attempting to dissect, discuss and celebrate (with the appropriate distance and dignity requisite of a dandy) this unique form of masculinity.
I thought I’d share some snippets [...]
