Lately on my mind

 

 

• Charles Burchfield sunflower wallpaper
• Mrs. Warren's Profession on Broadway
• the new Iron & Wine (!!!!)
• Kate Winslet in Little Children 
• knitting with beautiful yarn
• Brian Ferry, photographer, and his amazing site the blue hour
• the fact that my life revolves around picking which French book/ book about France to read next
• "Racing Like a Pro", the fact that The National is a great band to listen to while in transit, and the apparent youtube trend to make videos on this theme.
• a dream I had a few nights ago. I was hiding from a sudden rain storm under a massive elephant ear/ banana leaf. I felt so safe and childish, like when you hide under the dinner table or in the rack of clothing while shopping with your mom. When I woke up, I tried to pull the sheets over my head to recreate the feeling of being under that leaf, but it didn't work. THEN I googled images of the plant, because this is what google is for, and found the most adorable picture of a dog possibly ever.
• estimating the amount of snearing glances I would get wearing this shirt in Paris.
• and updating my flickr. how I held out on having one for this long, I do not know.
