Monday

campionissimo.

the tour de france 2008 began this weekend and if you've never watched it before i suggest you try and catch a few stages. you can watch videos on the website and keep updated on who's in the running for le maillot jaune. known as 'the champion of the champions, fausto coppi won the yellow jersey twice and was {maybe} the lance armstrong of his day. i love this picture of him in his bianchi jersey. you can get your own in the classic 'celeste' color {which is prettier than yellow anyway} from prendas uk.

work life.



only two more weeks left as an 'architectural layout designer' in philadelphia and then it's onwards to being a poor grad student in savannah! it's been 4 years since i was last in school and i'm so excited about starting classes again. but what i'm {secretly} most excited about is starting fresh with a new apartment all to myself. i can't wait to start decorating it!

headline shirts?




cnn is now offering some of their more wacky headlines on t-shirts. genius idea or celebration of the moronic downturn of society?? you decide!

Tuesday

working hard.



this is a busy week for me at work. i have a pretty lax job {hence all the posting} but about once every two months it gets a little crazy. hopefully next week i'll be back to posting about more thrilling items that will fulfill and enrich your life.

candy quiz.



i did better on this candy bar identification quiz than i care to admit, although some of them are pretty tricky. besides, what the heck is a goo goo cluster?

r.i.p. major garland briggs.

don davis passed away on sunday. he was best known [to me] as bobby's father major briggs on twin peaks and one of my favorite characters. best voice. best tv dad. best beacon of ultimate good. sad to see him go, but i know that he's hanging out in the white lodge right now.
