Taking photos of lightning is like fishing: every once in a while you catch something, but mostly you just sit around for hours on end looking kind of silly.

I took this picture a couple of weekends ago, and it makes me happy. Just wanted to share it with everyone.

Think pink

I absolutely love this picture. He looks so comfortable there in his suit in a big, fuzzy, pink chair.

Book Club

So I came up with a wonderful idea for a book club today. You know how people have wine clubs where they all meet up and drink a wine with a complimentary entrée? Picture this: a book club where you pair an album with a particular book. Members listen to an album and read the book together, allowing the aesthetics to mingle and clash, then meet up afterwards to discuss their reception of the two works.

Anybody want in on this one? If so, I would like to nominate Fever Ray's self-titled release paired with Milorad Pavic's Dictionary of the Khazars. C'mon, you know you want to.
