I love this.  Can anybody make me a real copy?  Or even better, their own library themed mix tape?

ghost ride the whip


I had kind of forgotten that this happens until recently when someone was talking about how in Louisiana they call tricked out cars "donks" or if they are Asian imports "rice burners." I was trying to explain ghost riding and found this video as an example.   The fact it's a Delorean and one of the guys has a fake leg makes it better.

Group Photo

This past weekend I had a really lovely time hanging out with Ashley who came down for a visit.  Aside from the fact that she packed pretty inappropriate clothes for such cold weather, I think she had a nice time.  Events included:
  • lots of walking around and braving the cold
  • giggling about boys
  • navigating incredible furniture shop/mazes
  • good design/kitchen wares/home goods
  • tea/bento box
  • cheese grits
  • thrifting (the store had weaves for sale!)
  • museuming (taxidermy, bones, and big diamonds)
  • Badlands
  • cookies
 While we were in the museum on Sunday Ashley and I got separated somewhere after the Hope Diamond and I ended up wandering around by myself for awhile.  I got a little lost and ended up in an area about early peoples.  I was standing next to a replica of Otzi the Iceman 
 
reading the information about him when this group of Asian people, mainly children, swooped in for a photo op.  I didn't realize what was going on until I was surrounded and they either must have not noticed me or thought I was one of the group because they just snapped their pictures and went on their way without even saying anything to me.  They came and went so fast, it felt a bit like a flash mob.  I sort of wonder if they'll notice that I'm in their pictures when they look at them later; I guess I'll just be the Asian that looks the most surprised.
