so i think this is my favorite super bowl commercial this year. i’m a sucker for anything with animals. i liked the VW punch commercial and the one with brett favre as well. however, i was a little disturbed with all the anti-woman commercials, for lack of better words (i’m looking at you dodge charger). as this bridgestone ad amply illustrates, it is possible to have the machismo without being at the expense of women. 

side note: i went ICE FISHING for the first time this weekend. more on that tomorrow.

i saw this in real life during a minnesota planetarium presentation at the downtown library. this truly blows my mind. it was especially powerful in a fully explained, slower tour. space … the final frontier.

twenty ten

these two photos are from the beginning of 2009, which for me was a year of transition. i just finished eating a clementine and i’m feeling very sparkly about 2010. today feels shiny and new for some reason. i don’t mean to get caught up in the fantasy of new beginnings, but here i am. i’m falling in love with possibility.

let it snow indeed! we&#8217;re snowed in for christmas here. i guess it will just be a romantic holiday for two. we got an on-sale christmas tree last night, stocked up on wine and amazing food, and now we&#8217;re just enjoying our white christmas. at first i was sad we&#8217;d miss out on family, but now i can&#8217;t really complain. our last-minute christmas tree surprisingly kicks ass and we have brie.

That’s pretty badass. Then again, I’m a sucker for an accordion. But then again again, the accordion isn’t what makes this. It’s the piece as a whole.
