i also like this: "sleepyhead," passion pit.

other things i like: TODAY. i like today. i spent the morning at the bloomington handmade market spending way too much money and the afternoon driving around town in the cold, clear sunshine with a good, good friend, chatting away, buying toilet paper and chocolate, and generally enjoying the world. AND i now am the proud owner of an electric blanket. time for snuggles!

speaking of snuggly, i finished a new hat on a whim. i needed some instant gratification, and this was almost too instant. i started it one night, finished it the next.

life-sized chess pieces: the horse was my favorite.


plants that eat meat:

trees with gigantic leaves: i would like to read in a hammock under this tree every day.
