As I said, I've been reading more than writing lately, so I thought I'd share a few of the things I've stumbled across recently. Enjoy...
Did you see Brian Williams' interview with the American astronauts currently living on the International Space Station? And have you seen 'Gravity' yet? It's soooooo cool.
Love this Billboard interview with Throwing Muses. The music industry - the one creating the most popular music - makes me sad. But I'm happy that great musicians have found a way to work around it.
Carl Sagan was cool. This is part of his last interview, and it's disturbing.
20 Excellent Web Sites for Kids. I limit the amount of time the boys spend on the computer, but when I do allow them time on it, I want to make sure they're getting something of value from it. Starfall.com has been a favorite of ours, and I'm excited to learn of some other high-quality learning sites out there.
Joni Mitchell Interview. Super cool.

Things to Do Before You're 40. (Thanks, Lou!) I love this list, despite the fact that they make you click through every item. So annoying. If you don't have the patience, I'll hit some highlights for you:
Stop caring what others think about you. Buy a piece of artwork. Skinny dip. Stay awake until the sun comes up. Sleep under the stars. Have dessert without feeling guilty. Go on a road trip. Have a crazy weekend in Las Vegas. Go to the perfect music festival. Have a home you love. Own a piece of jewelry that means something. Be proud of something you achieved through hard work. Find a form of exercise you actually like. Have too many books on your "must read" list. Take a course.
I've done most of the items on the list, and a few I'll never need to do. (I'll be just fine if I never find a whisky I like, and nobody wants to see me as a blonde. I also would love to live in another country for a while, but I don't think that's in the cards for us at this point. And leather trousers...well. Let's just say that I know my own personal style.) However, I would like to find that perfect shade of red lipstick. And I'd like to have a signature dish that I serve to guests.
What else must I do before March and the big 4-0 rolls around?
I'm bookmarking this post so I can check out the links, as I'm procrastinating right now instead of cleaning my house, like I should be!!
ReplyDeleteI just have to say that I truly admire your confidence in yourself, and if anyone will own being 40 its you.
Happy weekend!
