"I am going to learn to make bread to-morrow. So you may imagine me with my sleeves rolled up, mixing flour, milk, saleratus, etc., with a deal of grace. I advise you if you don't know how to make the staff of life to learn with dispatch."

"once there was a man
who wrote a symphony based entirely
on the arrangement of birds on power lines outside;
it's called solmifying- to solmizate in the infinitive; transitive: to sing
any object into place."

an object i deeply desire, brought to us by bb. 
this room, complete with a set of those cups...
(sadly i don't remember where i found this picture.)
this is so inventive. if this kind of imagination was put into gyms here, i'd go a lot more often. link via sf girl by bay.
and then there's ithaa, the first ever all glass underwater restaurant, in maldives. five meters down. as travel post puts it: "as the fish swim freely on the outside, diners are the ones occupying the aquarium."
how i adore the topsy-turvy.
