Entry #144: O whaa? MORE TYPE

AGH!!!: Historic American Sheet Music So pretty. I think I like type because... well, I can't draw but for some reason I can write letters? sorta. I mean NOT type student mode but

teachers always appreciated my neat writing when I was younger?

Entry #115: Simpsonize Yourself!

I don't have a picture on hand, but woo-hoo: I KNEW they were going to put this mess out and here it is, the SIMPSONIZER.

Entry #109: Reminder, friendly

1060 unread messages is a bit too ridiculous, so I did my yearly email purge. Ran across the work of Lucas Martin-- compelling!

And the winner, as recommended by the evaluation panel, is Design 3. I placed them out of order, sorry.

Dammit...I was hoping they would implement a rooftop garden. I don't want the future to be metal and hardware.

Entry #63: A table for hire and the picture you did not take.

A project my brother sent me that he was commissioned to do a couple of years ago. It gives a good idea about the design process from paper to product.


The untaken picture is:
This is a picture I did not take of an airborne fistful of pennies, flung from the open window of a limosine, idling on deserted 7th Avenue, early on a warm May morning in Manhattan.

Entry #48: Ways in Which Nonverbal Messages Interact

I don't deserve all this nonverbal communication given to me by el amor de mi vida.

Speaking of hearts, I googled that mess and came across this medical university website and received a quick dose of dopamine with the image below.



I recently put in my two weeks notice, with thoughts of Africa dancing in my head. Fortunately, the environmental company I work at, will be keeping me on as a consultant.

Entry #46: I have never been so enlightened in my LIFE.

A picture speaks a thousand non-verbals. Our President should seriously learn. Anyways, how AMAZING is the following? Eff minimalism, I'm all about cravats in all its historical senses and splendors. My, my... Monday through Friday = you are sooo-x TAKEN!








And in case workers start asking about the past few "very interesting" outfits that you've been wearing, translate this crazy Cravatica bloggggg and come up with some uber-educated answers about Cravats. But I would get all starry eye and start chanting the story about a girl who always wore a green scarf around her neck... consider them your friend if they laugh in glee and recite the ending. Foe if otherwise.

Entry #38: The World's Oldest Tree is CUTE.

WOW. I want one of these extinct babies...Speaking of native plants, we are converting our front yard (now grassy) into a Native Plant garden. Yippee!

"...The tree belonged to a group of early fern-like plants called Wattieza. Unlike flowering plants, which use seeds to reproduce, Wattieza used spores, the reproductive method of choice for algae, ferns and fungi.

The finding, detailed in the March 19 issue of the journal Nature, will help scientists understand a crucial turning-point in our planet’s history—when the first forests appeared." You can read the entire article, World’s First Tree Reconstructed.
