beauty is in the eye of the beholder...so be nice.

I'm sorry I've waited so long to do my weekend post, but I wanted to put up some pictures of my Friday night adventures.

Around Oscar season every year, my school hosts the Gordon Globes, where students submit movies they've made to compete for awards. Everyone gets dolled up, and we watch them on the massive screen in the chapel and vote for our favorite.

Being the fashionable people we are, my housemates and of course attended. But at the pre-party, Kait and I had some trouble getting a good picture...



(ya'll had no idea I could be so attractive, right?)


And then finally....


Although I couldn't resist one more moment of... well... yeah.

just before bed.

Now stick some cacti next to that bathtub and I'm in heaven (see post below!)

succulents.

As you might have guessed, I think a lot about what I'd like my future home to look like. One thing I've decided is that I want a lot of plants. While I love the variations of the New England seasons, the winters really get me down with the lack of sunlight and outdoor time. Solution: bring outdoors indoors! Not so much help with the vitamin D, but somewhere some study said once that plants improve people's moods. I'll take their word for it.

At the same time, I've never owned a plant, but I strike myself as someone who would not be good with them. Forgetful, easily distracted, busy, etc. Second solution: succulents!





Aren't they GORGEOUS? Plus most of them only have to be watered once a week and don't need tons of sunlight.

I found them all on the Etsy shop Succulents Galore. The prices look reasonable; I might start saving up for some cuttings to either give away as part of little Easter gifts, or to transplant into cheapie pots for my room here.

If you haven't seen this yet, you should be ashamed of yourself.
That's right. Go sit in the corner for a little while and think about how much you suck.

Because this..... this, my friends, is what you've been waiting for.

Do it. Now.

I give you permission to skip reading Obama's budget to watch this instead.
In fact, I give myself permission for that, too.

I swear I didn't post this because it's from a place called Mel's Kitchen Cafe.

I posted it because it looks like that.

Flaky, doughy, tear-off-chunks-of-it goodness.

I made some really good lentil-three-bean soup the other day that this would be perfect for.

got an hour?

If I did, I'd try to read NPR's summary of Obama's budget.

But since I have to re-read all of Frankenstein by 9:30AM tomorrow, my good citizenship will just have to wait.

my, my!
