A Few Good Things

I just opened my last box of frozen Thin Mints and it is not even May yet. It is tragic, really.

Happy odds, ends, and links:

Have y'all seen the new Moleskine City Guides?

My friend and fellow Book Lovah, Sara, started a new blog. Here's an excerpt from one of her first posts:

We will sit on my AstroTurf lawn under the flamingo lights, and the pink flamingo lawn decorations will complete the scene. Happiness. Pink Flamingo Happiness.

The pink. We do love the pink.

Over the weekend, I went to an Art Walk at the Brewery, the world's largest artist colony, located in downtown Los Angeles. We visited dozens of lofts and studios including the homes of Mike Pedersen, Meghan McMahon, Guillermo Bert, Christine Morla, Darrah Danielle, and, my favorite, Sean Sobczak who creates giant, lighted sea creatures. He should let me photograph his work, because his website does not do these amazing sculptures justice.

We also met Bruce Gray whose sculptures have been on all sorts of commercials, television shows, and feature films, from Austin Powers to Ally McBeal.

On Sunday, Will completed another triathlon, finishing 11th among the people in his age group. I'll post photos soon because it is always fun to see other people in tight spandex shorts. Right?

Finally, check out the Garden in Transit project from Portraits of Hope. Just lovely.

You mean, you still have GS cookies left? I'm impressed! Mine were gone many weeks ago :)

I love the garden in transit - much better than just plain yellow cabs. Reminds me of the cows they had in NYC years ago. Those were cool too.
