Einstein

A couple of nice quotes from one Mr. Albert Einstein:

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity."

"I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school."

"The search for truth is more precious than its possession."

"You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war."

Home Again, Home Again

I'm back home for spring break now, which is nice and so far quite relaxing. I plan on spending this week doing a lot of reading, and hopefully some seeing of friends too. Anyway, that's just a little something to say here I am and all is well. :-)

Beautiful and Eco-Friendly

I just Stumbled upon this cool blog called "Web Ecoist: Sustainable Living, Green Design, and Environmental Oddities" and, more specifically, this post which is about recycled lights and lamps that is just beautiful!!! Check out some of these photos....

Wine bottle lamps:


Paper cocktail umbrella lamps:


Plastic spoon chandelier:


Cardboard egg cartons on "twinkle" lights:


So pretty!

New Blog!

Also, I have just stated a blog with my sister and my mother about tea, food, fashion, cute things, green living, dance, and pretty much everything that makes us smile. Please check it out and let us know what you think! Add it to your feed or bookmark it and check back often, as we hope to be updating it (at least!) once every day. Check it out at Teapots and Polkadots

For The Day

"That was then, which hasn't ended yet"
-Mary Oliver, in Have You Ever Tried to Enter the Long Black Branches?

Changes

Study break --> felt like it was time to update things around here. A new template, reorganized sidebar, etc. I like the changes. Thoughts?

Whoooooah

Ok, procrastination's over now. But one last thing before I go. Check out this super-trippy optical illusion.

Work

So much work to do, so little time....spring break is just around the corner, though, so that is fabulous. I can't wait to go home, curl up on my couch with a good book, hang out with my family, and play with my dogs. Unfortunately, I have to search for summer jobs, too, and that is looking none to easy what with the economy and all. Here's to hoping, though!

Try this out!

I wanted to see how many of the world's countries I could name, so I tested myself with this cool online quiz. I got 69, pretty much because I know nothing....embarrassing. I really want to know how many other people can get, so please, take this quiz and then post a comment with your number, and maybe something along the lines of "oh man, I can't believe I forgot Somalia!" (which, of course, you will now all remember...) Enjoy!
