New Random Links

Yesterday I put some new links on the sidebar and took away some that I hardly ever clicked. Check some of the new folks out – you may or may not like them, but these links more accurately reflect my myriad interests . . .

I have that stupid “I’m in Love with a Stripper” song stuck in my head. First of all, why is this stupid song on the radio? What sort of message are people sending here? Now, if I thought the song was done tongue-in-cheek, I wouldn’t be so squeamish, but if you ever see the video – and oh, there is a video – you would think “WTF?” . . . The tune is rather catchy though, darn them . . .

Saturday, I went back to the National Cathedral. (http://www.cathedral.org/cathedral/) It is an architecturally stunning, awe inspiring and incredibly humbling building to stand inside of. Even if you aren’t religious, you can still appreciate the scale and power and resources that went into constructing such a cathedral . . . if you are ever in D.C. and tire of the Smithsonian museums, do catch a cab and see it. I would love to go back to visit during a concert – I am certain that acoustics for choir and/or organ must be amazing . . .

I might be taking a few trips this spring. My grandmother has finally settles in Birmingham, AL and it would like to go down there for a weekend and visit. Also, my friend, L, goes to law school in NYC and I’d like to visit her before she graduates and comes back down here. I’ve never been to either place before, and I am excited at the prospect of going out on my own . . .

I need to post the list of books that are on my nightstand, waiting to be read. You all might get a kick out of the list, and it might inspire me to actually start and finish reading some of them . . .

I told you all that I read Ways of Seeing, and was going to read it again, but my friend told me that I definitely should read Susan Sontag’s On Photography as a companion piece, and now I’m on a mission to get a copy. What? You say I already have too many books in stacks to read, why am I seeking out another book? . . . I’m in the mood, so sue me . . .

I hope everyone had a great weekend. This should be an interesting week . . .
