Earring Mitosis


Tah freaking Dah. 
I love these earrings because they are mini steel pan drums from Trinidad (where I studied abroad). When one disappeared, I got creative and made a new one.

My brother graduated in May and no longer lives in Madison. 
Here are a few shots around town, for nostalgia's sake (animal theme unintentional).

Health Alert: Pesticides and Food Allergies

Dichlorophenols are chemical compounds commonly found in pesticides and used for tap water chlorination. A recent study of 10,438 Americans showed 24.4% had dichlorophenols in their urine. Researchers found those with dichlorophenols in their urine were more likely to suffer from food allergies. Further research is needed to determine whether or not dichlorophenol exposure is a cause of food allergies.

John Oliver Quote on Comedians

The truth is, no child wants to be a comedian. If you have a child who wants to be a comedian, you have a terrible child. Because when you're little, life is inherently funny. I remember the first time I saw an adult fall over, thinking, "wow, maybe everything's gonna be all right."

Beasts of the Southern Wild Hushpuppy Quote

When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me, flying around in invisible pieces. When I look too hard, it goes away. But when it all goes quiet, I see they are right here. I see that I'm a little piece of a big, big universe, and that makes things right.When I die, the scientists of the future, they gonna find it all. They're gonna know once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the bathtub.
