Verne. Jules Verne.

So a few weeks back Hubs and I went to see TRON: Legacy...it was awesome, BTW, don't let the critics reviews fool you.  It is worth seeing for the soundtrack alone, but I digress...In the film, Olivia Wilde's character Quorra is talking to Kevin Flynn's son Sam...they are looking at some very old books and she says "Flynn is teaching me about the art of the selfless. About removing oneself from the equation. But between you and me, Jules Verne is my favorite."  Absolutely my favorite quote from the movie, probably because Jules Verne has always been my favorite too.  Evidently someone at Google feels the same way, because the Doodle du Jour is in honor of Verne's 183rd birthday.  In my opinion, it's one of the best Doodle's ever.  It's interactive, so be sure to use the little lever at the side to see more underwater awesomeness, including the beloved narwhals!

Rose Red

In keeping with my Valentine's theme, I thought I would post a little collection of red items.

Like a wink and a smile

So since Valentine's Day is 10 days away I thought I'd share some super cute cards.  Regular card shop fare is sweet, but a bit of personalization is always nice.

Rock the Red

To raise awareness of heart disease, Go Red for Women has made February 4th National Wear Red Day.  So, peruse your closets and jewelry boxes and get out there and rock some red!

And so it goes...

So it is Day III of the "Snopocolypse" and I am still at home.  Granted, I like being home, however being imobile is not my prefered way of spending my time off.  It is looking like the combination of de-icer and my helpful Hubs will prove effective in dislodging our vehicle (commonly refered to as The Beancar due to being small and rounded and over all looking like a jellybean) from the iron grasp of the ice.  Over all, I am completely over winter.  As much as I love wearing sweaters, coats and cute hats, I am beginning to think it is highly over rated. 

Winter Weather Disapproval Levels Raised to Red

After this "catastrophic" winter event, levels have been raised to red.  There is almost too much disapproval for one picture to contain it all....and that is exactly how I feel about this ice and snow. 

The Amazing Miss Mila

I generally do not pay much attention to award shows, but I had to share this.  Mila Kunis in Resort Alexander McQueen designed by Sarah Burton. As you can see from the background, this is from the SAG Awards.

The colors in her gown are so vivid, almost like a watercolor painting. Her subtle makeup and soft curls compliment the flowing fabric.  She just radiates effortless elegance.
