Not bad for a final Fall semester.

This is quite possibly the most awesome slow-motion video of any animal I’ve seen on YouTube yet. I really want a camcorder that can record at super high frame rates. If I had one, I’d record every part of my life in slow motion so that I can make even the most mundane action exciting!
LaGuardia High School to cancel annual Fall musical

Gothamist pointed to a very sad story from The New York Times about how LaGuardia High School might need to cancel their Fall musical because of budget cuts.
What I didn’t know was that the fall musical — which I’ve been a part of in some form or another for 4 years straight — can cost anywhere between $45,000 and $70,000 just to produce.
School officials are considering replacing the fall musical with “Rising Stars” (the LaGuardia HS annual talent show) instead and say that if parents and students can raise enough money, they will try and put on a Spring musical. This is a major blow to LaGuardia school spirit and I imagine that the school will likely lose some sort of reputation as a result of it.
Stencil Graffiti Capital: Melbourne

I guess it really pays to keep an Amazon.com wishlist (and also a website) because this Christmas I’ve been getting lots of wonderful books as gifts! The Stencil Graffiti Capital: Melbourne
Thanks Flo! This is awesome! I’ll definitely need to find some time to sit down at a cafe and just read this whole thing from beginning to end.
A big girl and a big Pepsi

I have two of each of these large posters in my room after I got them last week from one of the guys putting up these ads. They’re quite large as you can see with my twin-size bed in the background.
If anybody wants them, you can have them for free.
The Cavanagh’s and the communion wafer
December 27, 2008 @ 3:18 am
Man, talk about a monopoly! The Cavanagh’s are responsible for supplying about 80% of the communion wafers that churches use in the United States (and very similar market shares in Australia, Canada, and Britain, too!).
The New York Times profiled the family business in a recent article and it’s fascinating to see a side of the church that hardly anyone ever really thinks about. Seriously, when do you look down at your communion wafer and think, “Gosh, I wonder who makes this?”.
