She's So High...

Remember this song? 

Today really finally gloriously feels like spring - it's warm, it's sunny, and I actually got hot walking home from work! It's time to throw away those heavy layers and pull out the sunglasses!

I'm two weeks into the new school semester and so far the kids have been super cute, polite, and smart. Such a pleasure! Sometimes I think I have the best job in the world. 

In other news, today I was enjoying eating my apple so very much that I bit my lip and now it's a bit swollen, eek! Must chew less enthusiastically. Eating can be a dangerous and painful sport.

Have a sunny day!

Winter Street Food - Hotteok (호떡)

In Korea, street food is kind of seasonal. One of my favourite winter street foods is hotteok - a delicious, plump pancake filled with brown sugar, honey, and chopped nuts. It's freshly made in front of you and put into a little paper cup for easy, non-messy eating. When I first bit into one, I did not expect the burst of deliciousness that exploded in my mouth - sooo good! Warm, crispy on the outside and soft inside, deep flavour, crunchy nuts - hotteok has it all ;-)

Yesterday was a day of indulgence and included not only hotteok but also ice cream at Baskin Robbins. Have I mentioned how popular BR is here? There are dozens of locations and it's usually crowded - way more popular than in North America. There's one just a couple minutes from my apartment...so I can't not go there, eek.

Yesterday's flavours of choice: almond bon bon, peanut rocket, and chocolate mousse. Of course I shared. Ice cream tastes so much better when you share it with someone...just try to eat a little quicker than they do. Keep them talking while you dig in ;-)

Have a lovely, toasty weekend!

Eclectic Saturday ~ Florence, Beach House, Jack White

The end of winter and beginning of spring feels like an especially magic time for music. It's time to explore, to overcome lethargy, to discover new things, to open your ears to the fresh sounds of spring.

These songs aren't particularly spring-y, but they each have something unique and imaginative to offer.

The Universe is in You...

This is a lovely short little video about the big universe and how it is inside all of us. We are all made of stars ;-)

I can't help but love this sort of stuff, it gives me the shivers in a good way.

Baby sloths wearing onesies!!

I can't count how many times I've watched this video. It is THE CUTEST THING EVER!!

I hope one day I can meet a baby sloth :-)

The Lorax Trailer

Yes, another trailer! :-) But I can't help it. It's dreary, still feels like winter, and I need these jolts of colour and hopefulness and humour to brighten up the day. Come on spring - bring on the sunshine, flowers, and lollipops, please!

ParaNorman Trailer

Wowza, this looks awesome! Creative, a little freaky and Halloween-y, funny, and unique. Definitely goes on my To Watch list ;-)

"I like to be alone!"

"So do I! Let's do it together!"
