Friday Five

1. This number one spot was supposed to be reserved for the Super Bowl Winning, World Champion Ravens winning their season opener in Denver against Peyton Manning when everyone said they were going to lose.  However, it seems that everyone was correct, and the Ravens failed us miserably...with the most points unanswered in franchise history and the only time they've lost a season opener under Harbaugh.  So I suppose, I just have to stick with the Orioles instead who actually won their game and thank goodness for that since they were the darn reason the Ravens were stuck opening on the road in the first place!

2. Basically this is about the most creative and well-thought out travel site I've seen in a while.  Fathom includes all sorts of fun insight and articles as well as some pretty fantastic city guides and tons of travel pics.  Loving the Insta-trip feature where contributors' travels are relayed entirely in Instagram.  My new go to site each morning!

3. Another fantastic blog, only this time it's straight up photography.  As you may have realized by now, I've been attempting to figure out my camera since I got it a few months ago.  While that process hasn't been going as smoothly as I'd like, this site has all sorts of ideas to help it along.  I'm pretty partial to the alphabet photo challenge.  I'm not sure if I'd stick with it, nor do I know what I'd do with the photographs, but it's certainly a nifty idea!

4. "Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe": I'm in love with this book, and cannot wait until the next one comes out in the spring.  It's set in London, revolves around a cupcake shop and is written by a previous writer of Doctor Who.  What's not to like?!

5. Technology that allows us here in the states to hear and see production diaries of those staging Richard II (the show I'm seeing in Stratford.)  Absolutely amazing idea!  I love how creative and interactive the theatres in the UK and here in the US are getting.  These small ideas really allow the shows and characters and casts to come alive while hopefully gaining a whole new audience for live theatre.
