Keep Calm and...

For all the ballyhoo surrounding the Keep Calm and Carry On slogan,  I never knew the back story.  I found this video to be enjoyable (and educational).

new apartment

So, there's been a lot of change over on this end lately.  Another item being that I may have to find a new apartment come June.   Not sure yet, but no matter - I've found my new place!  Unfortunately, I'll have to move to Hong Kong. 

This place is SO COOL!


(Thanks for showing me this, Mom!)

 I ran into this artist's work at Liberty of London back in the fall (when I fell in love with the quote on this notebook cover).  I love his work, and I think this video is super charming.

TED talks

I love Ted, don't you?  I really enjoyed this talk by Brene Brown, on the power of vulnerability.  A lot of good stuff in there.

all sorts of awesome

Happy Valentine's Day

My brother told me about this video over the weekend, and I thought it was kinda perfect for a day like today.

Okay, now go fall in love.

I'm loving this Bob Dylan cover.  I listened to it, like, 5 times last night.

The Otter

It's a little gloomy out in Brooklyn today.  I thought some river otter action might cheer things up.  :)

Honestly, I would keep a couple of these in my bathtub if I could.
