- May 06, 13A sunny day without rain is rare in London, so I took advantage of the pleasant weather to enjoy the London Zoo today. I saw an array of beautiful and strange creatures, including Moon Jellyfish, White-cheeked Gibbons, and Emperor Tamarins! I also learned that male rather than female seahorses have babies and saw a Colobus monkey doing something rather interesting (see below)!(These signs were everywhere, and it was hilarious because the water was not deep at all!)(Yes, that is a Colobus monkey urinating! You never know what you'll come across at the zoo!)Of course I had to see my relative, the White-cheeked Gibbon.My favorite, the awesome emperor tamarin monkey! (We called them "little wizards.")Gift shop time! Loved the pink stuffed animals!I really wanted one of these giant lemurs, but they were too expensive. Maybe someday!
- Apr 29, 13I had a wonderful time at the Pick Me Up contemporary graphic art festival at Somerset House yesterday. I discovered some really innovative graphic designers - see below for works by Maricormaricar, Malarky, You Byun, Anna Lomax, Rob Flowers, and Malika Favre. I also enjoyed the layered screenprints of the Fatherless Print Posse, the amusing works by the collective Hero of Switzerland (including an amazing Bill Cosby portrait), and charming works with uplifting slogans from the Nelly Duff gallery. Items for sale included bRiebok t-shirts and adorable Lazy Oaf totebags. Event highlights were the fun "Muckburgers" game (prize was an "unhappy meal"), the Coffee Club Sketch-Matic (got a free sketch of a lion dancing with a bear), and the F***yeux Tapestry which anyone could decorate (but only with the words "f***" and "you").

- Mar 17, 13Last night James and I went to the Goodenough College Spring Ball. The highlight of the evening was probably the pink cotton candy. The cotton candy photos we took turned out a bit blurry, especially the psychadelic photo of the cotton candy machine. I kinda like the blurry quality of the shots though - makes it seem like we're in a surreal cotton candy-induced haze.
- Mar 02, 13My boyfriend made a wooden stool for me with a cute heart on the top! Wasn't that sweet of him? Check out his digital fabrication start-up Fabsie at http://fabsie.com. They are going to be making amazing ready-to-assemble furniture and have a Kickstarter campaign launching on Monday.

- Feb 14, 13I got the best gifts for Valentine's Day this year - a gorgeous tea cup and two books from Fortnum & Mason. One of the books is about tea, and the other is on honey and preserves. There are tons of lovely pictures and recipes inside. (I think my boyfriend might be hinting that I should be more of a cook!)
