We went to the Sundance film festival again this weekend. It was a great night full of indecisive people, cafe rio, Bruce, main st reunions, unoriginal Kyle, pretty pictures, Norwegian trolls, and sore necks/headaches.

I am loving these ladies this morning.

Let's be honest, one of the reasons I wanted to go to Iceland was to find this man and jump his bones. Yowzaaaa

Jackson Pollock is known for creating works of art that some people may not consider "art". Pictured above is "Autumn Rhythm." The process of this painting is described:

"In 'Autumn Rhythm,' as in many of his paintings, Pollock first created a complex linear skeleton using black paint. For this initial layer the paint was diluted, so that it soaked into the length of unprimed canvas, thereby inextricably joining image and support. Over this black framework Pollock wove an intricate web of white, brown, and turquoise lines, which produce the contrary visual rhythms and sensations: light and dark, thick and thin, heavy and buoyant, straight and curved, horizontal and vertical."

This painting may appear similar to work by Jackson Pollock, but I'd say the process is quite different, and also fascinating. Curious? Find out here. Yikes !

Ronald Reagan was not a huge fan of environmental protection. In fact, he purposely appointed people to his administration who were openly against environmental regulation. Is it weird that immediately after reading this I thought of the Ministry of Magic sneakily placing Dolores Umbridge as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts?

okay, when a river catches on fire like 13 times, you know there's a problem.

Yesterday we (roommates+friends) went snow shoeing down past Vivian Park in Provo Canyon. Seriously best decision we've made in a while. It's one thing to hike around on dirt, but quite another experience to hike in a couple feet of snow. It was SO beautiful, and once again reminded me how blessed I am to live in a place like this, where nature is so accessible. I <3 mountains.

I am seriously considering getting rid of my iphone and opting for a more simple/practical/less expensive one. Thoughts?

yes yes yes !
