1. Set of car and house keys with the “Jamaica – No Problem” keychain I bought in Ocho Rios c. 1992
2. Dior coin purse, full of good luck charms
3. Stack of blank postcards from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden
4. Baker Creek Heirloom Seed catalogue (www.rareseeds.com) which is my current train reading material.
5. Microsoft Zune – I’m such a nonconformist, right?
6. Pens: one black Sharpie, two red Flairs, one blue Flair, one blue ball point, one black gel finetip
7. Vintage Carrera sunglasses, purchased at The Standard hotel
8. Moleskin daily planner, definitely the most valuable thing of the batch (on a personal/emotional level)
9. Moleskin NYC guidebook (even though I’ve been home from vacation for almost a week)
10. Blank notebook, I guess I should get another Moleskin, huh?
11. Digital voice recorder that I’ve never actually used and I think the batteries are dead, but I still carry it
12. Envelope containing ticket stubs, handwritten notes, stickers, and other ephemera from January 2011
13. Blank checks, because you never know.
14. Coin purse used to corral tampons (which used to roam free)
15. Best wallet ever, purchased at Target and a direct knockoff of some fancy one, but in a cooler print and one-tenth the price
16. Ulta shea butter pen/wand thing, great for your cuticles. Okay, great for my cuticles. My mangled, chewed up cuticles, poor things.
17. SPF50 sunscreen stick that I use on the backs of my hands. It’s like deoderant but made of sunscreen and I think it was made for babies but I end up scratching myself whenever I use it which is probably why it was 75% off at RiteAid.
18. Eyedrops. No comment.
19. Blank “thank you” cards, because you just never know.

A Lithops (Living Stone) fruit capsule opens after being sprayed with water (time-lapse). In the wild, rain will open the Lithops capsule and then splash out the seeds. From www.youtube.com/user/CooleyBufo

history - so much more fun out of class
I’m always disappointed when I see the word “Puritan” tossed around as shorthand for a bunch of generic, boring, stupid, judgmental killjoys because to me, they are very specific, fascinating, sometimes brilliant, judgmental killjoys…

love the one you're with

"The West side of Los Angeles has an even more dire problem: rat hoarding. Specifically by two elderly, never-married twin sisters, animal lovers who, as they grew too old to care for the dogs and larger animals they once took in off the streets, moved on to caring for the rats that appeared on their property. "

modern art has never been more enjoyable
My Kid Could Paint That is a welcome return to ambiguity in the documentary, while posing perhaps the year’s most intriguing mystery, even more so than last year’s diverting examination of art-world snobbery, Who the $#%& is Jackson Pollock? Even if only two films make up this exclusive subgenre (art-world exposé/mystery?), it would suffice.

the big picture delivered in under an hour
This American Life (radio) 355: The Giant Pool of Money
Prologue.
Ira talks with NPR business and economics correspondent about two gatherings he attended. One at the Ritz Carlton and one at a community college in Brooklyn. The first was an awards dinner for finance professionals who created the mortgage based financial instruments that nearly brought down the global economic system. The other was a non-profit conference for people facing foreclosure. Ira explains that today's show lays out how the finance guys and the people facing foreclosure are connected by a chain of middlemen, and that together, they all brought about the current housing and credit crisis. (4 minutes)
