If walls could talk, here are some that I’d want to listen to. This is a slower-paced movie and I think more than anything I was intrigued by the idea of anything lasting for 1,000 years.

Robert Rushkin – The Artist [video]
I saw this video yesterday and was amazed by his perspective. I admire people who are so inquisitive about the world and have what seems like an bottomless well of creativity they reach into to produce artwork. Sometimes it’s hard to remember to take that next step and make the the thing you’re curious about. Robert Rushkin…
The making of gold leaf [video]
I came across a click-bait title about this video and had some low expectations. It’s a ‘how-its-made’a bout gold leaf. The incredible part is that, when you think it was sufficiently complicated and they should have stopped approximately 1/10th of the actual process. It’s an incredibly long, labor-intensive process and I can’t imagine how someone came…
For all the language nerds
I found this Merriam-Webster ask the editor series and had to share. So fascinating!
…And no fruit juice (video)
I saw someone post this video who surprised me (given the title). It’s not what you’d expect. I’ve ended up watching it multiple times now, so I must like it.
“Why do cats miaow?” (video)
Grant sent me this, of course he did. This isn’t just a cute cat post though (it is cute), it’s also a interesting summary of animal language research! Also, I thought miaow was a specific type of mewing. But it’s actually the British variation of meow. How silly!
Managing your time [video]
Someone shared this with me last week, and I guess in honor of it I’ve been pretty much been knitting constantly and not updating this blog. I have a list of posts I’m supposed to write! (text)
“The real life cat lady” (video)
Facebook kept recommending that I watch this video and I guess now I’m passing it on to you. Short, well-shot video about a lady who started taking in rescue cats and now has over 700 cats & kittens she takes care of. A little something to break up the day 🙂
Before Sunrise & Before Sunset.
Before Sunrise taps into what appears to be a universal dream of traveling to a foreign place, meeting a dashing stranger, and falling in love. So maybe that makes this movie a cliché. Maybe I was just in the mood for exactly this kind of movie—but I just watched Brooklyn and thought it was lukewarm, so…
5+5 Favorite movies
Someone recently asked me what my top ten favorite movies are. Thought I’d share. These are the ones that I come to mind, with the caveat that I rarely watch a movie several times. In a vague order: My Fair Lady. Maybe the movie I’ve seen the most because I have a large soft spot of musicals…
