There’s a lot of stuff I share on the Internet every day. Here’s a weekly round up of the things I most enjoyed last week by category.
Inspiration
- Fox News defends ObamaCare That this article appeared on this site made me really hopeful for our future.
- Boulder man plays piano in flooded home I haven’t mentioned the flooding on the blog yet, but I’ve been reading about it and feeling feelings. This is a poignant video and my heart is with the state of Colorado. I can’t imagine the nightmare of the folks in Lyons, in particular. Lyons is where I went to the spur-of-the-moment road trip in August. It’s heartbreaking to think of Lyons in its current state. I wish them and the surrounding area a speedy recovery from this devastation.
- 25 things every woman needs to know “New people won’t stop coming into your life and opportunities won’t stop knocking on the door but you need to have the space for them. In all you currently have– be them relationships or obligations– step back and ask yourself “why.” If you can find the answer, hold tighter. If the answer escapes you, it’s time to let something go.” But all of this, really. All.
Nifty
- Isolated tracks from The Beatles “That medley is such an impressive demonstration of The Beatles’ range of voice and sensibility that it almost functions as a capsule for the sound of their whole later career—all the weird narratives, blues, ballads, and gorgeously lush hymns and lullabies.”
- Illustrator draws faces, lets 4-year-old draw bodies, ends up with adorably weird art “Hendricks now regularly draws faces for her daughter to finish. After the younger artist completes her confident pen strokes, the older then fills them in with color and and their collaborative work is done.”
- Brownie Husband “The perfect blend of rich fudge and emotional intimacy.”
Music
- Janelle Monae – Tightrope “Some call me a sinner. Some call me a sinner. I’m callin’ you to dinner.” There’s a reason this is in my run mix.
- The Beatles – Eleanor Rigby When they sing ‘I look at the lonely people’ I want to lay down and die. And the strings. ::sigh::
- The Rural Alberta Advantage – Don’t Haunt this Place That cello. That percussion. Those chords and harmonies and lyrics. I never get tired of this song. I scrubbed my iPhone of all music except my Beatles homework and running mixes. Was tickled to find that I forgot to remove my RAA albums.
