What is this weather?!

Today's weather is cold and gross and sad. Here are some things that might cheer you up.

Best obituary ever? I think so. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/21/nyregion/21yitta.html?em

A member of the extended Albright family has a blog that is even better than this one. Check out Caroline's sister's blog about going to beauty school: http://beautyschooledproject.com/

Procrastination is a beautiful thing

Here's a link, courtesy of Niki, to a cute blog that illustrates the postings on Missed Connections websites: http://missedconnectionsny.blogspot.com/

Newsweek's annual Oscar Roundtable. This years participants are Sandra Bullock, Woody Harrelson, Morgan Freeman, Jeff Bridges, Carey Mulligan, and Gabourey Sidibe. It's extra fun if you imagine their voices as you read it: http://photo.newsweek.com/oscar-roundtable/2010/electric-company.html

And, if you feel that you feel guilty for reading about celebrities , this Newsweek article from February provides all the justification you need. It's interesting even if you don't feel guilty: http://www.newsweek.com/id/226457

Lastly, today's giveaway on Lucky.com is a $3000+ ring. It's not really my taste, but it's a $3000 ring. Think about it. http://www.luckymag.com/breaks/luckysweeps/2010/03/giveaway_a_day?slide=2#showHeader

Hump Day

Hey all,
Here are some fun links to help you procrastinate!

This first one is a summary of a poll taken a long time ago (I don't know what year) about the wardrobes of students at various colleges. Apparently, Smithies were really into skirts and sweaters! http://www.nypl.org/sites/default/files/blog_attachments/CampusPoll2pages.jpg

This one is a random article from Monday's NY Times about how our bodies interpret abstract thoughts and ideas: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/02/science/02angier.html

And lastly...Lucky magazine is having a "Giveaway a Day" thing online. It starts tomorrow and goes until March 20. Every day, you can enter to win the prize that's being offered on that day. They have clothes, accessories, and electronics, and most of it is way out of college student price range.There's some pretty sweet stuff up for grabs, and it takes about 30 seconds to enter to win. Do it! http://www.luckymag.com/breaks/luckysweeps/2010/03/giveaway_a_day

Enjoy!
