In Katie’s opinion, this is the best qualification for a boyfriend.
Confessions of a Disney Employee. Having never been to any of the parks, Katie now just wants to go for the food.
Millie’s always thought Joan of Arc was an absolutely astonishing woman, whichever way you look at her, and this post on Tiger Beatdown on her is HIGHLY recommended. A lot of the stuff she mentions Millie already knew, but she thought Joan wore men’s clothes only in battle, for some reason, not as day-to-day wear. Lots of interesting stuff to consider, there.
Better Book Titles. ‘Nuf said.
The Dalai Lama on the Role of Women in Global Peace.
Some people may call me a feminist… [Biologically], females have more sensitivity towards others’ pain or suffering. Scientists also [are] saying that. Now, in the 21st century, is the time we really need more effort for promotion of human compassion. In that respect, females have a more important role. – His Holiness, the Dalai Lama
The Guardian’s “Once Upon a Life” series invites writers to look back on a day that changed their life. The latest edition is by Andrea Eames, who blogs at a cat of impossible color.
Has anyone else seen the BBC Wales show Gavin & Stacey? Katie’s friend just turned her onto it, and she spent most of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day watching Season 1 on Netflix… (What’s occurring? Chelsie LOVES this show and has seen all three seasons!!! Fair play. Nessa is the best.) (Millie has no idea what this show is, but she lives under a rock, so that’s not surprising.)
Hilarious British voiceovers of animals. The title says it all!
This Scale of the Universe puts things into perspective! Chelsie is now afraid of giant earthworms (note from Katie: the Giant Gippsland Earthworms are in Australia, so as long as Chelsie avoids that continent she should be fine. Katie, on the other hand, totally wants to go and see them).
Katie’s fallen in love with the natural female form. Warning, some images contain nudity, so you shouldn’t view them at work and Katie’s parents shouldn’t view them at all. As someone who still deals with issues of body image, Katie loves seeing all the images of happy women of all shapes, sizes and ages.
Most of Rabbit Write’s suggestions in Being in a Relationship with Your Partner seem spot-on.
Did you see Sara’s first Daisy Chain of Inspiration over at Orchids in Buttonholes? Katie’s featured, and hasn’t stopped blushing since!
Do you know what your new Zodiac sign is? Katie’s a Coaster. (Note: Katie has no idea why people are making such a big fuss about this because 1: Her dad, an astronomy-smarty, told her about this years ago and 2: It’s astrology, and therefore very not real).
The Scale of the Universe makes my stomach flop like a rollercoaster. SO COOL.
And bookshelf porn might be my favorite thing on the Internet.
I was so moved by the article on Joan of Arc.
Me too, very much so.
I thought you guys (particularly Katie who is into these things) would appreciate this necklace I spotted today on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/60448548/owl-claw-necklace?utm_source=bronto&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Image+-+http%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fview_listing.php%3Flisting_id%3D60448548&utm_content=etsy_finds_012011&utm_campaign=etsy_finds_012011
Also, that Scale of the Universe thing is totally awesome.
Love. It.
Millie, I live under a rock, too. So cozy.
Katie, I too loved ‘the natural female form.’ It led me to 007b.com, a gallery of bare, natural breasts. 60 seconds there undid YEARS of do-I-look-okay-why-don’t-bras-ever-fit-me-what-if-I’m-the-only-one-who-looks-like-this anxiety. Way to go, real human beings!
I love that you say “most” of Rabbit Write’s advice seems spot-on. Dare I speculate as to which bits gave you pause? =)
I’m not sure what the fuss over the new Zodiac is, either. At least old astrology PRETENDED to be logical. But then, you know what wet blankets we Thermoses are.
RE: Zodiacal signs. A former member of the WP Band declared that he was a “Torso,” and comedian Steve Martin claims to be a “Feces.”
Thank you so much for the mention! I just loved that look (though I love many that you all post in this space).
