new favourite album

I've been listening to this album for weeks now, and I just can't get enough of it. I've been a fan of Bonnie Prince Billy for quite some time now, but from first listen, Lie Down in the Light, by Bonnie Prince Billy quickly became my favourite. I think it might be perfect. I've had refrains and strains and words and notes filling my head day in and day out since the first time I put it on to play. Love it.

Evolution for Everyone

An old favourite. Well, not really that old -- I read it last summer -- but definitely a favourite. Evolution for Everyone by David Sloan Wilson. I think reading this book has effectively changed the course of my life. It reminded me of why I love school. Of why I love science. It reminded me of how amazing this world is, and renewed my sense of wonder and light a fire in me to drive me back to school.
Not to mention, it is a totally cool book about evolution, a fascinating viewpoint that will forever change the way you look at the world around you. Couldn't give this book enough stars, if I had all the stars in the universe to give. :)

in line

The girls standing in line at Ontario Place. Sewed lots of die cut frames and tags (Prima and Crate Paper) into a page protector. Photographed it on a yellow table cloth, so that's what you see as the background.

Animal Farm

I've not read much by Orwell, but I finished Animal Farm and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think reading it shortly after reading the Bridge at Andau definitely enhanced my enjoyment of the story, because the communist phrasing and practices were still so fresh and vibrant in my mind after Michener's recounting of the communist revolution in Hungary in 1956.
