A List . . .

After a week of getting sick and a week of being sick and a week and a half of getting over being sick.  I'm back!  I haven't felt this good in a very long while and what better way to spend my new found energy than writing a blog post in my favorite category:  random.

Here is A List . . .

A quote . . .

It's not ugly. . . but it's not beautiful.  It's simply  . . . benign.

-Aaron, after installing a ceiling fan and commenting on it's appearance.

I love that the ceiling fan was described as benign.  I think if said fan had feelings, they would probably be hurt.  

A nom de plume . . .

Virginia Chesterfield

Should I ever publish a children's novel this name makes the top of my list of nom de plumes.  I love the unconventional pairing of this Southern name with a large piece of furniture.  Kudos to my friend Kimball for phoning me and sharing his 2 cents on the nom de plume matter.  

A website . . .

Rock and Roll Bride

Quite frankly the idea of a traditional wedding in all its formalities and conventions scares me.  This website isn't just about tattooed brides, but features eclectic styles, DIY's, and loads of vintage in weddings that showcase personality and unconventional beauty rather than over-commercialization .  
disclaimer:  I love this site for its photographs and especially the event details and NOT because I am single and obsessed with marriage . . . although . . . I've always wanted a mad hatter wedding cake and if I can ever find a special someone who let's me get my way, I'm in!



An iPhone photo . . .

A Beckman pH meter, made in the 1940's.  I found this relic in the front office at work.  It's so vintage.  




A song . . .

Last Will and Testament - Propagandi

I love the first part of this song that is just instrumental.



A FACEBOOK STATUS!! (and resulting comments) . . .

Status:  JUST TWEETED FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!! (yesterday)
Comment: that is disgusting
Reply:  lol what??

I don't know what I love more.  The exuberant announcement in all caps, the meek amendment that it was actually yesterday that the aforementioned tweet occurred, or the resulting confusion in the comments.
