two monks and a mountain

Today I'm reminded of a story my dad used to tell me when I was a child to put me to sleep:

A long time ago, there was a mountain. On the mountain was a temple. In the temple was an old monk, and a young monk. One day, the young monk says to the old monk, "Old monk, tell me a story." So the old monk says to the young monk, "A long time ago, there was a mountain. On the mountain was a temple. In the temple was an old monk, and a young monk. One day, the young monk says to the old monk, 'Old monk, tell me a story.' So the old monk says to the young monk, 'A long time ago...'"

Here's hoping that I fall asleep soon...

birds behind the birds.

I came across this display at the carnegie mellon museum of natural history. They compare famous cartoon birds with their real life counterparts...pretty interesting stuff.

50 beans | 30 café’s in 30 days

30 café’s in 30 days is another project that I’ve wanted to try for a while now. This is pretty self explanatory. Try a different café every day for 30 days. I know…I should start drinking less coffee…spend less $$ on starbucks...yada yada yada…but think about it this way: if I’m gonna be spending $$ on coffee anyways, why not go around and check out different coffee shops and experience all that my surroundings have to offer? You know I’m right :)

So if you’re curious…I’m gonna try to take a picture at each coffee shop and post it on FB just for kicks (but I’ll probably end up posting them one week at a time cuz I’m lazy hahaha).
