Go Wendy!

There's so much going on in politics this week! I was most blown away by the sheer willpower (and back strength) of Texas state senator Wendy Davis, who empowered many, many women with her 11-hour filibustering feat.

I can't wait to see where this woman's determination takes her. Time to put up a Wendy Davis Google Alert.

In honor of Wendy and her pink shoes:

Man of steel

I've become quite fond of the new Superman, Henry Cavill. I've been wondering whether the % of women dating scruffy laborers (a la Cavill in the early scenes of Man of Steel) has increased since the movie's release. And how many men are now 'roiding out to replicate Superman's body. 

Cavill aside, I thought Man of Steel was the most engrossing superhero movie I've seen in a while (maybe ever..?). The 2+ hours goes by in a flash. Time well spent.

Hide and seek

I'm into disguising things today. Can you spot the oh-so-well-hidden vegetables? Hehe.

Glitter

When this next week is over, it's TIME TO LET LOOSE! For a few days, at least. 

Also, I noticed that I use orange a lot. 

Happy weekend!

From me to you: take 2

I really enjoyed coming up with my first wrapping paper design, so here's another!

It kinda puts me in a party-planning mood. Not that I've successfully planned any parties. All of the glamorous parties that I've hosted (e.g. my 12th birthday party) were put together by someone else (i.e. my mom).

Spin spin spin

So much to do! Sometimes I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels.

Retro

When I was a kid, I loved drawing out good 'ol fashioned bubble letters. Any poster project was a chance to showcase my superior artistic skillz! This, mind you, was ages before I discovered the scourge that is Comic Sans. 

Here's to the days in which I worshiped balloon letters, the curvier the better!

The cave

When Brett and I were in Paris two summers ago, we checked out the Pompidou, a fantastic modern art museum just a few blocks from where we were staying. There were several exhibits that blew my mind, but there's one in particular that still stands out quite vividly (possibly because I have a picture of it on display in my apartment): Jean Dubuffet's "Cave," a whacky, cavernous installation that invited visitors to enter and romp around to their hearts' content. The thick black lines, which seemingly flowed without direction, made the walls appear simultaneously flat and bulging. I kept thinking of rubber bands and Dr. Seuss when I was in there!

Downpour

Monday. Rain, rain, go away! 

My last weather-related post for a while, I promise. Can you tell that surgery has driven me insane?
