sophie blackall’s poster was finally installed on my e train today and i smiled so hard when i saw it. i leaned in over the elderly gentleman sitting in front of me to see how deep the poster went (three levels?) and god it just put me in a swell mood.

this video made me realize how hard i try to avoid eye contact on the train / all of the time so maybe i should just…connect?…more. i mean, without being creepy.

newyorker:

A first: The idea for this week’s cover, “Loading…”, came from one of our readers, Brett Culbert, a thirty-year-old landscape historian. Culbert’s original image, a blurred Eustace with a loading icon in place of the butterfly, is one of the twelve Eustace Tilley Contest winners for 2012. His idea was modified into the final cover design. Although the winning entries have been showcased in the magazine before, this marks the first time that a reader’s submission inspired the cover.

The other 2012 contest winners include Cristian Gomez, an art director who put Eustace in a window in the Chrysler building. Next, we have five-time finalist Gary Amaro; his entry this year riffs on Picasso. David Urban imagines a Eustace with white earbud headphones. A California-based graphic designer, Ray Dougela, has Eustace coping with the economic situation. Kevin Scalzo reinvents Nancy and Sluggo. Alma Mitchell was born in Miles City, Montana and is ninety-nine years old. Here is her Eustace. View a slideshow of all of the 2012 winners.

i rallied (read: threw back some aspirin) and joined my family for a smaller dinner. they brought the dogs over for some cuddles and gave me some sweet gifts. now, back to bed.

i just got home from work and i’m sick as a dog but i opened my mail to find a birthday card from my grandmother who lives two houses away (“if you don’t care enough about a person to send them a card in the mail, then…”) and new stamps! i think the usps just cured me, is what i’m saying.

dear family, do you recognize this location?

i was just doing the usual late-night dashboard-scrolling when i saw david’s photo in this post. clicked through, natch, because who is this jonathan, why does he have a bungalow, and where is this lovely sunset? well, i didn’t answer any of those questions…i got up to the “I’m a bride-to-be and I need a wedding photographer — help!” question in jonathan’s FAQ and clicked on the link to his sister’s blog instead. i did another quick scroll and hit the first photo (above) in this post without reading the title or text (the dashboard has trained me well); i recognized it instantly.

it being bhc. well OK, maybe my brain read the title without me realizing it, but i thought i knew that this was taken on the lodge lawn because of the position of the tree in relation to the opposite shoreline, and then the slight slope downward of the lawn. weird, right? i guess it’s not terribly weird if you think about how often i talk about the place, but jeez, all it took was an out of focus background?

p.s. in other the-internet-making-the-world-feel-tiny news, marco’s wife tiffany is a wedding photographer, and she shot the wedding of a guy i went to high school with. it’s not like these connections are implausible, but the way i found out about them, via people who work(ed) for tumblr, blows my mind a little bit every time. i still think of tumblr being very separate from my “IRL” world (what a ridiculous statement, but i can’t think of how else to explain the separation), so when they come full circle i’m always thrown off.

A heart made of 51 books on love. From the love of Botany to paperbacks with covers of cheesy illustrated chest baring Fabio looking men on top of a mountain with their lover grasping their leg in a torn gown. Those were the books your one Aunt in the family would read one after another.
