2. This might be a "lotta" look but it looks like the very definition of Mardi Gras fun. I'm a huge Hugh Laurie fan as it is, but this just made me love him even more!
3. When reading photography and crafty blogs, I often come across photos of the "jump shot." That is, the photo that's taken in mid-jump where the person seems to floating because their feet are no longer on the ground. I feel that when I do see these photos they are almost always more graceful than this.
4. I've always been a bit skittish about traveling alone. I'd love to do it sometime, but also, I fear I'd get lost (which is a distinct possibility most everywhere I go) or wander into a bad area or just get so lonely I start muttering to myself garnering stares and whispers. But, after reading this list, I have to say, I'm more excited to try than ever. However, I just can't believe that London wasn't on this list. I spent a full day wandering the city completely alone and felt completely safe and protected. If NYC is on the list, London should definitely be there - I felt safer in London than Manhattan. Other than that one small miss, the list seems pretty good even if there are a few places that will never be on my wanderlust list. (Cambodia and Nairobi, really not my cup of tea)
5. "The Baker Street Translation" by Michael Robertson: I started this series of books last year, and even though there are only 3 so far, I'm already hooked. They're sorta kinda Sherlock Holmes mixed with a modern day flare. The stories revolve around 221B but in the late 90s two brothers who are barristers, have to answer all the letters coming to Sherlock at his address. And seeing that the books are Sherlockian in nature, there is always, of course, a mystery hidden in at least one of the letters. It's really creative and unlike most mysteries, I never quite figure out whodunnit until after I'm told. Can't wait until the next one!
