Colorado bound!

I love getting a chance to see the parts that are supposed to be hidden when it comes to something tactile, like a garment or other textile. This side is chosen to have all the imperfection, while that one (ideally) has none. It fascinates me. In this case I think this photo highlights the beauty of the ‘flawed’ side.

Skyscape (1912) by Nicholas Roerich.
Did you know there’s an entire museum dedicated to his work on 107th and Broadway in New York? It’s one of New York’s best-kept-secrets. Not only is the art beautiful but the museum sponsors free classical music concerts every weekend too.

Artist: Chubby Checker
Song: Let’s Twist again

I have listened to this song probably 5 or 6 times since arriving back home. I am starting to think it’s going to become my summer anthem. I just can’t get enough. 

Also have rediscovered the Beach Boys. Barbara Ann is another new (old) favorite.

spur of the moment decision

but I’m going to the Avett Brothers concert on Sunday in Pittsburgh! I am so excited. I went the last time they were in Pittsburgh and now I’ll be there again (with the same people, which is even more wonderful). A great start to summer.

BARNARD AND INTERVARSITY PRIDE

Outsider’s perspective: A man walks up to this young woman, and asks for her photograph. She agrees. The man backs up, bumps into a few people, but manages to get the shot. He returns to the young woman, shakes her hand, and exchanges a few pleasantries. The man then hands her a business card. The young woman looks at the business card. Then lots, and lots, and lots of hugging.
I get pretty emotional around those HONY fans.
