Lookin’ Seedy
Black*Eiffel: The Seed Cathedral.
One of the coolest things I have ever seen. Seed classification… to the extreme. The “cathedral” displayed thousands of seeds collected by Royal Botanical Gardens. Pretty cool, huh?

Eavesdropping Everyday
I was sitting eating my lunch on a park bench when a grandmother and her grandson walked by. She was explaining their itinerary, “We are going to take a left, go through the little city, look at a few shops, maybe get some ice cream, and then head back home.”
He looks up at her and asks, “I’m sorry, Can you repeat that? All I heard was ice cream” He didn’t have any attitude, just curiosity. I completely understood.

The Summeriest Day of Summer
Today, was one of those days that just felt like summer. Everything was completely wonderful.
Went to a lake with Ada and Katherine, which was not only beautiful, but the water was fantastic. There is something remarkable about swimming in clean, clear, still water. It is impressive that after centuries of people doing who knows what, it still remains pure.
If our lake trip wasn’t enough fantastic summer fun for you no worries, there’s more. We went…
strawberry picking!
The whole day was a whirlwind of fun in the sun.

Cats for Days
I think, if I ever decided to become a cat lady (and got over my dislike of animals). I would call my clan of cats The Glass Cats and name them after all the siblings in JD Salinger’s books.
Meet my hypothetical family:
Seymour:
Buddy:
Boo Boo:
Walt:
Walker:
Zooey:
Franny:
Naturally, a weekly radio show would be created, entitled “It’s A Wise Cat”.

Rethinking book buying
My brother has a kindle and although I see the appeal, I am dragging my feet on new technology. I like many of the premises of e-readers: I don’t want to kill a thousand trees, straining my eyes is probably bad for my health, and lugging books around is just dreadful. But there are larger points that influence this issue. Books are super cool looking.
And I don’t want to sell my soul to Amazon. No fancy e-reader can change that.
So you would assume the world of old-looking books was safe from the overbearing Amazon? But no! I was devastated when my mom informed me yesterday that Abebooks was bought by Amazon in 2008. The charm of my books has been purchased by the gigantic warrior woman. So I am trying thriftbooks.com. Their site has a nice color scheme and they’re not owned by Amazon, so they MUST be good. Where does everyone else buy their books?
