i woke up to a 'supplies!' from my roommate (literally?)

So I woke up late for work today.
I came out of my room and discovered Jeannie passed out on our futon. Not abnormal, as she often sleeps in our living room rather in her [homemade!] princess-canopied bed (haha). What was weird was that my Macbook had been shifted and my readings were placed on top of it, covering the keyboard.
I ignored it and went to the bathroom. When I came back out, Jeannie had sleepily returned to her bed (she probably does not remember this because she loves her amnesia-inducing sleeping pills). I then went to my computer to check the weather and shazaam, I felt like I was in some movie or something where the main character gets a super pleasant surprise.

Cue epically beautiful music. Crescendo as I open my laptop.



Thank you, to my beautiful roommate, for making my week immensely better :)

givology: what would you buy with $50?

So this weekend was the opening of The $50 Campaign for Children in Uganda. Sadly, I couldn't go to the Friday night opening party (or after party) since I was here:


(Sadly, I did not have my dSLR with me)

But Saturday, Mark and I got a chance to visit The Station Gallery on Franklin St. I loved it and even made my first art exhibit purchases! (This is a big deal because I am super broke and have been quasi-fasting in order to save up for a new Macbook -- I am now slightly set back but it's worth it!) I will be sure to post pictures of my two prized photographs once I get them in the mail next week.



I definitely recommend checking it out! It's a small exhibit but it took me some time to read the many descriptions posted up. Some are endearing and hilarious! Mark and I were even fortunate enough to get a "private screening" of the video they showed opening night, which featured the artists/children of Circle of Peace School in Uganda.

It just makes me want to be there :) Love it. Plus, I met some pretty awesome people.



It's opened until Thursday so try to check it out!! It's really great! AND all the money raised goes to keeping The Circle of Peace School opened for kids to go to, and hopefully to bringing more of the children in the outside villages into the education system! Go support changing lives :) Hehe.

OH! And even if you can't make it down there, you can purchase a drawing or painting, or support a child, through the Campaign's website!

be inspired!

Thanks Priscilla for sending me this!

incredibly cute.

pluto fanboys write hate mail (very cute).

It's old news but if you have issues with Pluto de-planetation (completely fabricated word), then join passionate 7-year-olds in their fight to advocate for the formerly declared planet!

Read some hate mail written by fellow Plutophiles.

happy birthday to two awesome people!

Hope you guys have a blessed one! Love you two tons!

hearts all over the world tonight.

Actually, just SoHo. And more specifically Broadway from Houston down to Canal.










Houston to Prince (look for the one heart stamped on the Prada store, bt-dubs).

totoro's cameo in toy story 3!

So evidently, there's going to be a small Miyazaki tribute in the new Toy Story 3! Exciting :) Watch the newest trailer above and see if you can catch the furry creature next to the computer screen.





Yay!! My Neighbor Totoro = movie I watched every weekend when I was a child.

this is going to be my kid, i hope.

Ridiculously cute.

what do you do when your friend is having a bad week?

You make it a little brighter with a giant bunny made out of your old Christmas lights and bandana.

super cute ukulele boy!

This kid is so insanely adorable, I can't get over it. The above video is him playing Jason Mraz's I'm Yours. And below is another video -- rendition of the Beatles -- that I'm putting up simply because his outfit is amazing. (His outfit + performance give off a Joseph Gordon-Levitt feel)



EDIT: Sorry, Douglas, but...

M: if sam has a son in the future
this will be him.

G: HAHAH! YES!

Good weekend.

it's like i got a new dog.

He went from



to




I'm really sad (as are Momma T & Popsicle T). But he still knows how to high-five, say thank you, and rollover. So all is well, I guess.

We're going to go back to grooming him ourselves.
