Interiors

I have a love/hate relationship with looking at interiors/interior decorating online.  I love it, but there are so many things I want to do that aren't possible with a rental. I usually limit my time spent to ward off feelings of frustration.  That being said, I want to live here (found via Old Chum)--that kitchen!

Travel

I'm starting to plan a trip to Europe this fall--kind of for work, but mostly for fun. These pictures are getting me excited (all from National Geographic).

Housekeeping

I love looking through sites like this to see what's been archived and is available for viewing on the ol' internet.  Found this one today--despite the intriguing title, I can't even quite figure out what it's about.  Home economics, I think?  Like, housekeeping and stuff?

Jeremiah Johnson

Can't help but love this one--totally where my head's at these days. Also found this, which has some interesting points about movies and the expansion of the U.S. into the west.
