...loving the weekend, finding new inspirational art, and these drawings by london graves caught my eye this morning. off to fabric stores to continue a sofa reupholstery project, fun prints and textiles please come my way! ~L
...out celebrating our friend Mike's b-day a few nights ago. ate snails for the first time at the awesome french resturant gainsbourg, and ended the night at the oh so sharming Baranofa, a greenwood karaoke bar (serving up karaoke 7 nights a week)...fun times...! ~L
...inspired by the russian artist vania zouraviov right now, and her beautiful drawings found on the booooom website. ...i think i'm feeling crafty tonight... ~L
...I was listening to a news story at NPR today, about the Christmas day bomber Umar Abdulmutallab, who set himself on fire in an attempt to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight in the name of Islam. As the US Senate is having hearings about interrogating methods, whether or not to prosecute him in federal courts vs as an enemy combatant, or having his Miranda rights read or not…my thoughts are drifting in a totally different direction. By no means do I support such acts, but I can’t help but being fascinated by the motivation that goes into doing something so extreme for something you are (literally) fired up about. Although the reasons and outside pressures are many, I ask myself what am I fired up about? What get you fired up...? ~L
...On the menu tonight; steamed mussels, lobster paired with a bottle of Terra Blanca, and chocolate covered strawberries….ending the night with a show at chop suey seeing the Wild beasts... ps: happy valentines to all u lovelies...
