Art Links
In honor of Jackson Pollock’s birthday, here are a few great inspirational art sites I found while surfing around. They all came from one original page. It’s a gem of a find.

Bones, Office, and 30 Rock Tonight
*while ice skating
Bones: Ah! You’re going to make me fall! Booth: You’re never going to fall, I’ll always be here.
Bones and Booth are the best team on TV. I only saw clips of the second Bones episode, b/c it was on during The Office, but it looks so good!
On the Office, the best moments were the Hilary Swank Debate (Oscar, Kelly, and Toby were awesome), and Michael and...
Kids
I love kids. Especially little kids. They teach me new things every day, to pay attention to the small details, the remind one to appreciate everything. I love all the families I babysit. I can’t wait to have a family when I grow up. So here are some names I like.
Boys: Benjamin, Joey, Maxwell, Sam, Jack
Girls: Mackenzie, Jenna, Ellie, Jaime
Middle Names: Ernest, Bo, Prosper,...
Childhood Dreams
Just finished ‘The Last Lecture’, very good by the way, I decided to type up my own dreams. Technically, I’m still a child, but I’d like to have this list on here.
1. Write a Book
2. Travel every continent and live in Venice, Italy, on a boat
3. Fly
4. Read every book ever written (this was a true dream of mine)
5. Fall in Love and have the same person in love with...

Books
I love books. So much. I was put into the “on-level” reading group in first grade, instead of advanced. I don’t remember how our teacher determined this. She was a nun, you don’t question nuns. She would split us up, one group doing desk work, while the other group read in the front. One day, I got mixed up and went with the advanced readers. And either she never...

Obama Rama!
Originally my friend and I were just going into DC sunday to shop at Eastern Market. But, feeling bad that we weren’t going to the inaguration to see history, we decided to also hit up the Obama Rama Concert, after shopping. I also went into DC tonight to a friends birthday party. It turns out she, and another of my friends are also going, which further convinced me to brave the cold and...

New York City
I’m a writer, and the story I’ve been working on for about a year, a now 124 page document, is set in New York City. I’ve had an infatuation with the city about two years now. My mom has taken me there once or twice a year since I was born, staying with her friend in Hoboken. I can’t believe how much I didn’t care about it when I was little. I also didn’t...

A slight rebuttal
sarahschneider:
katespencer:
Everyone thought that it was kinda annoying and sappy and shitty that Benjamin Button was set during Hurricane Katrina, right? Like, the message of death and time and life was heavy-handed enough without tying in the worst natural disaster the US has recently seen?
Ugh, YES. Finally saw this at my house last night (huzzah!) and I had a huge problem with this. I...
