…is playing in the background. There’s something comforting and nostalgic to me about watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s. When I was a kid, I’d watch it snuggled near my mum. It’s my feel-good movie. The one I watch when I feel like watching something, but don’t know what. The one that feels just as good to watch after the second time, 8th time, 15th time. You don’t really follow the storyline when you’re a kid, but you remember characters and scenes.
Holly Golightly is forever enchanting. The clothes, the way she talks fast, even her penmanship I love heehee. She’s unpredictable, spontaneous and a little off-beat – that “do something you’ve never done” game; intending to marry Jose even though he wasn’t her “absolute finito”. Love, love love her.
Classic.

Leonardo Da Vinci. Michaelangelo. Albert Einstein. Beethoven. Picasso. Aristotle. Socrates. Mozart. Shakespeare.
Is there a reason why all of these names belong to men???
Today, you’d be silly to think that women were any less capable of creativity than men, but if you look at the minds which have created the greatest impact on history there is an overwhelming number of men on the list. That just makes me wonder, why..? Is it possible that the world is missing an incredible amount of art and music and writing from women who could have been just as brilliant as these men?

I really, really liked this DIY project I saw on D*S. I copied the how to process for future reference 
Custom House of Cards
What You’ll Need:
printer
3 sheets of photo quality ink jet paper
3 pieces of 8.5” x 11” cardstock
rubber cement
x-acto knife and straight edge
rounded-corner punch (optional)
scissors
1. Resize a selection of photos to 2.25” x 3.5” each in a photo editing program such as photoshop, and print them out onto photo quality ink jet paper. we printed 24 photos, and were able to fit 8 per page.
2. Mount the printed sheets onto cardstock with rubber cement.
3. Carefully cut out the photos using your x-acto knife and straight edge, and round the corners with your rounded-corner punch or scissors.
4. Cut six 1/2” slits into each card: 1/2” down from the top and 1/2” up from the bottom on either side, and in the center of each short side.

Flowers in general can brighten up my day, but I like orchids especially.
I imagine myself tending to an orchid garden when I’m old. I’d pin up orchid charts like that one ^^; maybe know them by their scientific name & where they originally come from in the world, so I could tell my grandkids. Though they’d probably just be bored by me…

742 Evergreen Terrace, The Simpsons address. It’s REAL! It’s in Nevada and was won by a contestant in 1997. I can’t really explain how cool I think this is. The creators of The Simpsons must’ve been spinning out upon seeing the house in real scale; real life. I like that the house still looks cartoon-ish. There are more pics where I got these at fun-hunter.com.
