I think I'm daring because I'm running a 10k on 4/2 (my second race and longest distance); this guy is daring because he is riding HUGE waves at night in Hawaii. How bold but I am keeping in mind to each his own. (via The Improvised Life).
Ever since tasting the "marmalade rice" at a friend's wedding, I have admired Iranian food though I haven't had it often. Najmieh Batmanglij's cookbook and work in general sound amazing.(via NY Times)
If, like me, you like topical books but have trouble getting around to reading them, you will find this article on vanilla and this one on avocados interesting as they include mini-histories.(via NY Times)

A real life version of the house from UP. (via Courtney)
A bedroom with a pirate ship! Then copper gutters and other unique work on the architect's page. Room decor is much more advanced than when I was a child and wanted a reading nook built into the wall thanks to magazines at HQ. (via Tenille)
Patagonia is at the top of places I want to explore. Check out this article on a remote place to stay and experience it. (via Tenille)

If you haven't read her test the waters with Anthem, which clocks in at ~100 pages and gives you a feel for her general plot. I started with The Fountainhead, then read them all, though John Galt's monologue in Atlas Shrugged almost lost me.

Make your own fringe-y streamers! These look so fun and simple. This blog was added to my reader, but I can't remember how I reached it. Oops.
Athletic Body Diversity Reference for Artists at Intergalactic Messages - I especially liked how she wrapped up the post with this statement "Reminder to self and others: fitness does not always equal perfect washboard abs." (via Courtney)

Frontier Psychiatrist has highlighted this band a few times and I like their sound.
Atlas Shrugged is going to be the most tedious movie ever. They should have made Anthem into a movie instead. That one at has some pacing and the sci-fi setting going for it.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad point... I can't imagine a trilogy. The tone of the trailor was a touch heavy for me and I enjoy that.
