Music Monday: Bradford Cox

I can't tell you how excited I am for Bradford Cox's new project to come out.  He is psychotic and talented and sad and brilliant and tortured.  So essentially the perfect songwriter.  Here he covers Leonard Cohen, another sad and brilliant and tortured soul.

Here's to a week that flys by!  I defend my thesis on Friday...eek!

I'm a sucker for old anatomy and biology books with illustrations of flora and fauna.

Sometimes a drawing can seem so much more detailed than an actual picture.

Beautiful Weekend

I stole this post idea from bel biv devo and for good reason: it's astonishingly lovely. Bradford Cox is such a prolific talent I am almost positive he's slightly insane.

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

P.S. Thank you for all the lovely emails and suggestions on how to deal with "difficult" people! I realize what a grump I was yesterday!
