1. This Married to the Sea post has inspired a catchphrase between me and my friend: “Don’t be the lefterly cow”.
(click image to enlarge)
2. And the last line of this entry in the “Shit Certain Social Groups Say” video meme has become my new catchphrase:
NAMASTE!

1. Here’s a fiesty (and profane) piece about the benefits of working in advertising if you’re creative. The writer makes some good points:
You can try to make it with your band or be a novelist in your free time. But during the day, you may as well learn about how to work creatively with other people, and how to accept rejection and outright failure, even if you still think that Verizon catalog copy you wrote was a masterpiece.
2. Being Easter weekend, it’s time for my annual religious experience: listening to Bach’s St Matthew Passion.
3. It’s also this guy’s first Easter (and nearly his first birthday)! I had to resist buying him the bunny ears costume I saw at Target.
Because obviously he doesn’t need ANY clothes to be cute!

1. As a work field trip, the creative team went to The Leonardo museum yesterday afternoon. Did you know they have a huge collection of photos from the civil rights era? It was really moving to read about something that changed so monumentally less than 50 years ago.
2. Another thing that moved me (to tears) yesterday was this video, the title of which sums it up: “Blind Dog Rescued from Trash, Regains Sight.”
You may also be moved to donate to the rescue organization.

1. I took the day off today. So far I have slept in and received a gift of cognac-fig ice cream made from goat milk (thanks, Amber!). If these things have happened before 10:00, what greatness will the rest of the day hold?
2. Actually, I think the “greatness” will be working on house projects and professional projects and maybe even sewing. I will think of this Isak Dineson quote:
When you have a great and difficult task, something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work a little at a time, every day a little, suddenly the work will finish itself.

1. Adding cat heads to something makes it funny. (It’s a law, I’m sure of it.) That’s why Cat Scientists of the 1960s is so great:
There’s even a Cat Carl Sagan!!
2. I don’t really have anything else this week. But come on–there are cat heads AND Carl Sagan. I think that’s enough, don’t you?
