What are you loving this week?

  1. The blind date with a book thing sounds BRILLIANT! I would absolutely do that. I'm super judge-y when it comes to covers, and I know it's bad.

    I'm going to read the story on the international adoptions soon. I have heard about adoption agencies convincing women to give up their babies for adoption because the demand is so high. It's a hard thing to discuss, but I'm glad to see people talking about it.

  2. The Blind Date with a Book is a bit like The Biblio-Mat at The Monkey's Paw here in Toronto.

  8. I would so try the blind date with a book! Sounds like fun! Also, those pictures from the Congo! So amazing! They remind me of some psychedelic 60's film. Oh and that bunny gif, makes me miss our bunnies. One of our cats LOVED our oldest bunny, he would chase her around the bathroom tapping her and being curious.

  16. I love a lot of things in this post but specifically, those polaroids are wonderful. Oh, Amy Poehler. I love that even her facial expressions are in character.

    And that Spanish restaurant sounds awesome! There's a nonprofit Panera in my neighborhood called Panera Cares that does something similiar. It's pay what you want so they have the same menu but after you order, the cashier tells you the suggested price and you can pay more/less. If you can't pay anything at all, you're encouraged to work one hour (usually clearing tables, etc.) in exchange for a meal. It's awesome!

  25. That juggalo okcupid site is hilarious! Insane Clown Posse is playing in my little down tonight, and it always draws in so many crazy juggalos. I don't like ICP, but it is so funny to watch the juggalos!

    Great links as always!

  26. Love all of these! Especially the bunny! And that market in Japan?! I like the idea but I'd probably scan so many things and then once it got to my house be like "Why did I buy this!?" Haha!

    <3 I hope you're having a great weekend!

  29. I'm still blushing from your praise.

    LOVE the blind date with a book! I would totally do that, though chances are high it would be just a one-night stand. ;)

    That convenience store is crazy cool.
