June is more than halfway over, which means the countdown to my birthday (Canada Day!) is on! In the meantime I’ll be working part-time, continuing my research and just generally enjoying summer.
In other news, I was at a wedding this past weekend of a dear friend who, now as a married woman, is moving permanently to Beijing this week. It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye to someone, but I’m thrilled for the happy couple and I was pleased to witness their big day.
I’ve got some cool things for y’all this week. Here goes:
1. Six fairy tales for the modern woman. Well done! Read all six here, but I’ve quoted my favorite below.
Once upon a time a woman was approached by a drunk guy in a dark alley, but he was very polite, and explained that he had driven to the bar, but because he was responsible, he didn’t want to drive home, but his cell phone was dead, so he asked the lady to call him a cab. She did, and he was grateful, and they said pleasant goodbyes before going their separate ways.
The End.
2. Pirate Theatre. How about a movie theatre that only plays pirated content? Yep, it exists, in a art-homage kind of way. Read more here.
3. Hello, Ladies. Ooooh this HBO show looks good!
4. Silly (yet interesting) research studies. Do cats always land on their feet? Can we really compare apples to oranges? And, did the chicken come before the egg? This compilation of quirky research studies will set you straight.
5. Birth dates, graphed. I liked this birth date chart, and the followup (he he) that were floating around the internet last week.
