Keep On Fighting

Rough week + rough week to come = blog neglect

I'll be back in no time (likely the next time I'm procrastinating my term papers)

Right now I'm writing about environmental ethics, doing an ecology lab report on a Southern California terrestrial field study, applying to work on a conservation project this spring break, writing a paper on the history of conservation in California in relation to the Gold Rush, working with the Sierra Club, keeping up with my Chemistry homework, working on my drawing for my Architecture class, working my regular student office job... the list goes ON and ON. Sorry. School always comes first, though!

Point/Counterpoint

A couple of pictures I had randomly saved to my computer that I decided went together nicely... :)

Didn't Take Too Long 'Fore I Found Out / What People Mean By Down And Out

Hey all. My power went out on Tuesday, but we finally got it back!! (I swear people in Southern California flip out when it rains. They can't function.) I'll be back to normal posting soon!

Play Your Part

Natasha Khan/Bat for Lashes

When her first album got popular a few years ago, anyone else think, "Hey, Lily Allen looks kinda funny..."?

Love this glove/ring business

More animalistic awesome

Pretty simple shot

The Empress Josephine

Not quite a queen, but I quite like Joséphine de Beauharnais. Imagine what a nice life it must have been to sit around all day on plush furniture in gauzy gowns and have one's portrait painted. But, alas, she was married to little Napoléon Bonaparte, so I guess there's a drawback to everything. They did divorce, though - so not all was lost (the whole "no heir" issue rears its ugly head again).

She definitely rocked the royal simplicity. Not to over the top, but still with the clear implication of "I'm much more wealthy and cultured than you." (ie very French haha)
