I...I have to admit, I kinda wanna try these. Has anyone heard of these pajamajeans? It's an awesome name, I just want to say it fifty times. pajamajeanspajamajeanspajamajeans. That's actually kind of hard to type. Hmm.

Boss-possible made me watch P!nk's Grammy performance (Glitter in the Air) today, and now I am listening to the song over and over. It's such a beautiful song, and I really was awed by her performance. It was artistic, and lovely, and I can't imagine singing at the top of my lungs while spinning around 30 feet in the air. I would probably puke, sadly.
Anyways...

The Morgan Library and Museum has a couple of really cool online exhibits up right now, including a cool piece about Jane Austen and a very richly illustrated medieval book of hours. Worth a look!

aspiderbug and I had a lovely vintage shopping excursion recently, and we happened to have lunch in a local vegan restaurant. It was afternoon, but the blueberry pancakes sounded great, so I gave those a try, and they were fabulous. And vegan! So now I must reproduce this recipe, but I've never done vegan cooking, so I'm not sure how this is going to go... Wish me luck! Mmmmblueberries.

When the weather is grey and gloomy (winter, wtf) I really start to want some color around me. I go home and my walls are too white, everything is too bare; my apartment is naked.
I've been really thinking that I need an orchid to spice up my place. And maybe another houseplant or two (because the ...14 that I have are just clearly not sufficient). So I went to Ahner's, just to see what they had in stock, honest! Long story short, I am now the proud owner of a new beautiful Moth Orchid, in a lovely two-tone burgundy and lemon color. And a 5 foot tall houseplant. They were on sale! (BTW everything is 20% off at Ahner's right now...and the orchid selection is awesome!)
I think I need another orchid. 'Cause this one looks lonely. Yeah, lonely.
- Pretty!

I have fallen in love with this beautiful jacket
Problem: it's made by a Swedish company named Indiska, and I can't read their website :(
Or translate their currency. But isn't it beautiful?
The internet is wonderful, but occasionally I wish there wasn't so much cool stuff I can't have!
- Is there a word for cool and creepy at the same time?

Here's a link to a fantastic short story. It's a retelling of The Thing, from the Thing's point of view. It's not scary, but it did make me want to cry a little. Very thoughtful.
- BSG!

5 gold doubloons,

Heard a new question today: someone asked how the architects of our building made sure that the materials would be strong enough to hold up the building and what's inside. Pretty much pulled an answer out of my butt for that one. I said something about mathematical models and tensile strength of the building materials, blah, blah, blah. Heehee! That was from a cute deaf couple, another first for me. I know they were a couple because she made him hold her purse. That's proof of ownership to me!

So my job is on a top 15 list of cnn's stressful jobs that pay badly. 89% of curators apparently find their jobs stressful. Huh. Why did I want to do this again?

Canadia, home of many awesome things, like maple syrup and Battlestar Galactica! Home also to a reality show based on the movie The Cutting Edge (I watched this movie a zillion times when I was a kid, d'awww) It's called Battle of the Blades. How did I not know this existed? My only question: will they do the Pamchenko? Congratulations Canada, you have just blown my mind!

- November 5th, 2009
We are still decorating at work, which means I just spent 20 minutes removing the glitter from my face, my arms, my clothes, etc. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE. Also, there is glitter literally everywhere in the museum. I've started to sneeze it out. I dream in sparkle! And not in an entertaining angsty vampires way! Make it stop!
In other news, I got a new phone! And yes, it too had to be de-glittered.
