Done been transplanted

Thanks for the well-wishes and prayers. I have received my brother's stem cells, and now I just gotta sit here for 3 more weeks. Hopefully I'll be out and about and roof-topping it soon. I try to post about something more interesting today. Maybe volcanoes or something.

i want to go to there.

Sook Kim's debut New York solo exhibition which shows the progression from her seminal "Saturday Night" series of a hotel in Dusseldorf and other glass buildings in Germany to her latest project featuring facades of glass buildings in New York City. On view from April 1 – May 8. (via)

coooooornhole: beanbag edition.

Inspired by the warmth a few weeks ago, A-ron and I built cornhole boards.

First, we sanded and stained



















Then, we printed out images and traced them with carbon paper.
















Then we painted two of the most beautiful college logos of all time and laquered the boards to seal the images. The result, two gorgeous cornhole playing surfaces, and hours of fun.

glen beck is letting the purblic choose the cover for his new book, the overton window, a novel which manifests many of beck's hysterical delusions about the state of the US. and boy are these covers insane. i think these two are the craziest (is that a male statue of liberty??? why are there 3 washington monuments??? that doesn't work with l'enfant's plan at all!!!) :

cilantro hatin'

rachel recently told me she doesn't care for cilantro. i, for one, think it's delicious. but rachel's in good company in her disTASTE for the herb...

Culinary sophistication is no guarantee of immunity from cilantrophobia. In a television interview in 2002, Larry King asked Julia Child which foods she hated. She responded: “Cilantro and arugula I don’t like at all. They’re both green herbs, they have kind of a dead taste to me.”

“So you would never order it?” Mr. King asked.

“Never,” she responded. “I would pick it out if I saw it and throw it on the floor.”

Ms. Child had plenty of company for her feelings about cilantro (arugula seems to be less offensive). The authoritative Oxford Companion to Food notes that the word “coriander” is said to derive from the Greek word for bedbug, that cilantro aroma “has been compared with the smell of bug-infested bedclothes” and that “Europeans often have difficulty in overcoming their initial aversion to this smell.” There’s an “I Hate Cilantro” Facebook page with hundreds of fans and an I Hate Cilantro blog.

Yet cilantro is happily consumed by many millions of people around the world, particularly in Asia and Latin America. The Portuguese put fistfuls into soups. What is it about cilantro that makes it so unpleasant for people in cultures that don’t much use it? (via)

i'm with julia on arugula, though. yuck!

this little gem was tacked on to the end of the glee premiere last night. i watched it 2 full times in a row, ctm-ing pretty consistently all the way along. i think you'll know my favorite part when it happens.
