A song

I'm just obsessed with this song and video lately. 

I listen to it on the bus in the morning. It makes me happy and I think it's going to be one of those songs that will remind how my life was in winter 2010.

All-Time

Favorite quote by my favorite character from my favorite book:

The study was slowly lit up by the candle that was brought. Familiar details emerged: deer’s antlers, shelves of books, the back of the stove with a vent that had long been in need of repair, his father’s sofa, the big desk, an open book on the desk, a broken ashtray, a notebook with his handwriting. When he saw it all, he was overcome by a momentary doubt of the possibility of setting up that new life he had dreamed of on the way. All these traces of his life seemed to seize hold of him and say to him: ‘No, you won’t escape us and be different, you’ll be the same as you were: with doubts, an eternal dissatisfaction with yourself, vain attempts to improve, and failures, and an eternal expectation of the happiness that has eluded you and is not possible for you.’

But that was how his things talked, while another voice in his soul said that he must not submit to his past and that it was possible to do anything with oneself.

Tolstoy has never spoken an untruth to me in my entire life.

Einstein Hair

My niece Gracie with crazy hair and socks on her hands (Uncle Justin - my youngest brother - put them on her. This is what aunts & uncles are for!).
