Yesterday we celebrated my dad’s retirement with some family friends and colleagues from Mayo. 28 years! Very proud of you dad.

So I guess April 21st was the 20th birthday of the Gameboy. It seems like only yesterday I was playing Tetris and helping Bugs Bunny collect carrots in black and white. Video games sure have changed! I still like the old games better. Although I recently downloaded a trivia/puzzle computer game I used to play when I was young and it is the hardest game ever. I’m not sure if I was just a lot smarter back then or if I got a lot of help from my parents. I’m hoping it’s the latter...

I love this one.

I love looking at the blog The Sartorialist. Most of the pictures I like are from Paris or Milan. I wish people dressed like this here, so cool! It reminds me of Jay McCarroll from season one of Project Runway’s final show.

Jennifer Maestre is a sculptor who creates intricate sea-urchin inspired forms out of the tips of colored pencils. Her work is absolutely beautiful and requires a second look. The pieces become even more amazing and detailed as you examine more closely. It reminds me of a project we did in my Painting 1 class in school where we needed to make an ordinary object extraordinary. I love it!
