this was a good week
Our eldest niece, Elleanna, age 21. New Year’s Eve, 2018.
This was a good week! Here’s why:
• We rang in the new year with sparklers and champagne and Marcus’ sister and her family, then the next day they began their journey back home to Cornwall and made it safely, then Alex had a sleepover surprise party for a friend that went swimmingly, and we’re spending the rest of our time off quietly at home, with the fire going, reading books. I’m very happy. (Did I mention I’m reading books? It’s been a while!)
• Speaking of books, this book-loving photographer arranges her books into fantastic scenes. So cool.
• And speaking of paper and art, this man makes paper props for movies. Fascinating!
• These photographs of the segregated south at the turn of the century are amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such clear photos with so many relaxed subjects from that time before — and a wonderful story about the photographer and his connection to his subjects, both black and white.
• The first photo from the dark side of the moon. Whoa.
• And naturally, here’s to 2019 and more making out.
• Finally, today’s soundtrack — Malamente, by Catalán singer Rosalía. This sound is how I’m planning on grooving right into this new year. Click the arrow below to listen.
Hope you had a great week, friends. Have a joyful weekend.
