ha! and shoes

this is a post about nothing except the fact that my family and i had a conversation about libraries on sunday [hooray for olivia's first library card! watching and listening to kids as they learn to read is magical.] in which it was revealed that my sister does not like them; they are, as she so hilariously put it, "like nursing homes for books."

quite awesome, really, when you think about it.

also: today's shoes are an old favorite. and wow, am i pale.
summer cannot arrive soon enough.

a short dialogue during 'clash of the titans'

io has just told the group of mortals that she knows the way to hades/medusa.

bethany: so, there's just a path to hades?

me: i bet it's paved with good intentions.

the end

why i love roger ebert: part infinity

the first sentence from r. ebert's review of the twilight saga: new moon [a one star review]:
The characters in this movie should be arrested for loitering with intent to moan.

this man is brilliant.

to remember

love this quote from a.o. scott in today's times online:

"The best new movies carry intimations of permanence along with their novelty and very quickly start to seem as if they had been around all along."

bracelet bliss

i'm not a huge fan of wearing bangle bracelets -- the constant clanging makes me feel a bit like a gypsy or part of a one-person marching band. i like them more in theory: if life were an ad in a fashion magazine [static and unmoving] i'd wear them daily.

i made an exception this morning when i realized that my coral/off-white bracelet was a near-identical match to my new coral shoes.

happiness is...accessories that accidentally match.

[this blog post is dedicated to my sister, who complains that i never post anything anymore. to which i have to say: MANILOW. it's coming. be prepared. i have pictures.]

fun with plates & wayward sprinkles

dear driver
