Billie Is On A Break

A few years ago I created my “Before I’m 30” bucket list. It went something like this: run a marathon and write a book. Well I’ve run two marathons, and with two more on the way this year, there’s that whole book thing to take care of. Sure, my deadline is over four years away, but this is a novel, not a term paper. I don’t think I should wait until the night before and still expect greatness.

I’ve had multiple blogs over the last 6 years and this one has been my favorite to maintain, even though I didn’t do much writing here. I have a lot of respect for the art of blogging and the process of curation. To really do it well, you’ve gotta understand your audience. I now know most people prefer very few words and lots of pictures – or better yet, pictures with a few words on them that feature cats in compromising positions or conflated stereotypes. Oh internet, you cray.

Which reminds me, will people soon read books anymore? I better get moving.

Take care of each other kids and dream big. Life is a lovely thing.

The only thing we’re worried about with you is your texting.

Sorry for the lack of tumbling today but I’m busy celebrating Wes Welker being born. It’s really quite glorious. So happy May kids. And if you aren’t happy at this particular moment, watch this clip and let it do magic. 

It’s going to be a good month.

There is a Patriots garter. I now believe in marriage because this exists. Thank you.

Great things will be happening in May. Vegas, my birthday. And Vegas. And my birthday. And another surprise thing I can’t tell you yet!

Using a crow bar to pry the doors of the twisted wreck open, Dempsey pulled barely conscious teen Weston Masset to safety. Upon seeing the star, Masset asked, “Are you famous?” To which Dempsey said, “Yeah, I’m a doctor.”

Laser cut seaweed. Sushi Spring/Summer line 2K12.

AMAZING

arreter:

Developed by international ad agency bbdo for the umino seaweed shop, design nori is a series of intricately laser-cut seaweed for rolling sushi. Each sheet of five designs— sakura (cherry blossoms), mizutama (water drops), asanoha (hemp), kikkou (turtle shell), and kumikkou (tortoise shell)— is based on an element of Japanese history or symbology, meant to bring beauty, good fortune, growth, happiness, and longevity. Because of the precision required in the cutting process, the seaweed itself is a thicker variety from the sanriku region of miyagi. Umino plans to use the leftover clippings to sell as furikake topping or recompile into other sheets. The project was commissioned to respark the sale of nori following the tsunami in japan of 2011, at a time when umino director hiroyuki umino notes that japanese are eating less seaweed than in the past.
