A sneak peek of my art journal.
                 A sneak peek of my art journal.

Here’s what I read this week:

1. A discussion of the color black in the art world.

2. Living in a post-delete world.

3. The research this article is based on is kind of old, but this is still an interesting perspective on the geography of New York business lunches that I think may be applicable elsewhere.

4. Stephen Colbert is a gem.

5. The makeup tax is a real thing.

And a bonus: Have you guys seen Mark Ronson cover Queens of the Stone Age’s “I Sat By the Ocean” with Kevin Parker from Tame Impala and Andrew Wyatt from Miike Snow? It’s a few weeks old but get on it.

Have a wonderful weekend.

It's so surreal to think that I will not be coming back to this place on Monday or even in September. And although I know I will visit, it'll never be the same.

I’m so overwhelmed that so many people liked yesterday’s post. Thank you.

On to what I read this week:

1. I haven’t finished it because it might be a billion words, but Paul Ford’s explanation of coding is incredible.

2. We all knew this already, but closing bookstores is a very bad idea.

3. Secret wedding boards on Pinterest are a big thing. (Full disclosure: I do not have one.)

4. This isn’t really a story, but I have to go to this yoga studio that plays Drake during class.

5. Some really astute points on typography in UI design.

And a bonus: Please watch the Wes Anderson version of “The Shining.”

Have a fantastic weekend!

L.A. life.
L.A. life.

There were a few things I wanted to blog about (like my last capstone paper and the Time 100 list) that I just didn’t have time for. #TeamNoSleep, but that’s what next week is for. Anyways, here’s what I read this week:

1. The importance of coffee for Icelandic culture.

2. It’s comforting to know that even 20-something Jacques Derrida received some harsh criticism.

3. I was too young for Jennicam, but it sounds like a fascinating anthropological study.

4. I love Into the Gloss’s interviews, and one of this week’s was a good one.

5. FOGO is the new FOMO. (Side note: I’m not quite sure if fear-of-going-out really encapsulates what’s going on here, but it’s a start.)

And a bonus: I actually came across this last week and didn’t have space for it in my last Link Party, but look at this pencil shop (!!!!!!!)

Have a great weekend!
