Hey folks, happy long weekend! I’m practically bouncing around in my seat because The Boy is coming tomorrow. I have lots of things to do before he gets here, like clean my car and paint my toenails (because obviously he won’t be happy to see me if I don’t have coral-colored toes after a month and a half apart). He’ll be here for almost 3 weeks, and he’s never been to LA before so I have to do the hard sell to get him excited about moving here next year. We’ll be visiting old friends, checking out my childhood home, visiting the bird sanctuary in Griffith Park, camping in Joshua Tree for a weekend, tidepooling at my favorite beach, and eating at this restaurant. WOW, look at that menu! I’m really, really excited about trying brains for the first time. I say that without even a little sarcasm. Anyway, I’ll be posting pictures along the way, but until then…

Amazing little house in the Australian wilderness.

Apparently the ideas behind these clocks were implanted in the artist’s brain when he was captured by aliens. All I want to know is: where can I get one?

We all know about “sehnsucht,” but here are another 25 incredible words that can’t be translated into English.

Apparently April was grilled cheese month and I missed it, but to make up for it here are 28  mouthwatering remixes on the classic.

The beautiful students of St. Louis College, circa 1940s. That girl with the two flower poms in her hair knows the way to my heart.

Cool “kamikarze” lamp. Like melted toys, I waaantt…

Shut your mouth this looks like the funnest thing ever. Except I would probably get scared, overactive imagination and all, but still… This would make an awesome birthday present.

Sounds like a perfect Friday night to me, an extra cool burger to come home to after a long day at work.

Ummmm, Philip K. Dick Festival in San Fran this September? So there.

That’s all I got this week, enjoy your sunshine weekend! Top photo found here.
