light bulbs on lunch break: bulletin board




So I definitely came up with "light bulbs on lunch break" in a dream I had a few days ago. Weird, huh? Anyways, this blog segment comes to you direct from my office space, complete with a plethora of colored flags (see top of computer) and a bulletin board that becomes a more jumbled melange each day. Let's examine its contents, shall we? If you can't find what object I'm talking about at first glance, pretend it's a game of Where's Waldo or I SPY. Just keep looking, you'll find it eventually.
  • Downton Abbey bookmark- bloody brilliant show, but I haven't watched any of Season 3 yet 
  • One of the first pictures I took of La Tour Eiffel when I arrived in Paris to study abroad
  • Fashionable shades of lipstick, from the 50s to the present
  • Godiva bag - I get their free-truffle-once-a-month membership. Divine.
  • Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella coming back to Broadway, starring the cutesie girl who won Grease: You're The One That I Want!, a reality show I definitely watched.
  • Different media spawned by Jane Austen novels
  • Is Paris worth a mass? First of all, the title is a play on words. Henry IV said that when he was going to convert to Catholicism in the late 16th century, but here, the phrase refers to the fluctuating standard for a kilogram that resides in Paris.
  • New bells that don't sound awfully off-pitch arrive at Notre-Dame de Paris, you know, that cathedral where the Hunchback lives?
  • A Christmas card with the Disney villain Maleficent, from my girls Mel and Mercedes.
  • My results from the Myers-Briggs test. 33% extravert, who woulda known?
  • My mother's business card
  • My business card
  • The little-known fact that the White House was referred to as the "Executive Mansion" until 1901, when "White House" began the new trend.
  • The "Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity" exhibition that's coming to the MET.
  • Hiding behind Jane Austen's face is a picture of the Tirpitz, Hitler's last battleship. I worked on The Hunt for Hitler's Warship for a long time. I grew quite attached to that ship. (*Blogger's note: there is a difference between a battleship and a battle cruiser. Battleships are more heavily armed and are capable of faster speed.)
  • Ticket stub from the Catacombs in Paris. So. Creepily. Cool.
