Kelly's List of Bizarre Things We've Come to Find as Normal:  Clouds: Giant bodies of water that hover above us all day long. And move. Tons and tons of water that just collects and hangs in the air. Like floating lakes. Belly Buttons:  A really intense scar from where you used to feed off of another human. Like some sort of alien. You had a tube from your belly attached to another human to gain life. That is just weird people. Sleep:  A time when all humans stop what they're doing, gather and collectively, voluntarily, black out for hours at a time. And if they don't they lose power; they will gradually slow until they involuntarily black out. If you do something enough, or if enough people do something, it seems pretty normal. Makes you realize how relative normal is.

Also, I went to Haiti. More on that later.

I figured out my problem, I just love everything. I love everything. 

I went on a quick trip to Australia to work with a church over there for a while.  Fell in love and learned a lot. It was dreamy!  But more on that later...  For now, let me tell you about my love for Baz Luhrmann! (Who is actually, Australian.)  And about my BIG question of the day: WHY did no one inform me he was doing Gatsby?? Right on que, he's as handsome as ever.   Mark Anthony 'Baz' Luhrmann is a Producer/Director/Writer famous for his films Australia, Moulin Rouge!, and my personal very favorite, Romeo + Juliet. His style is so gaudy and theatrical and over the top yet somehow it's not overdone; it's tasteful,  just enough to keep you captivated. So it's no wonder everyone is talking about Gatsby!  (besides the fact that it's the production of the ultra famous book) I can not wait to see him work with De Caprio again. Fabulous.  I must see it now. Just adding to my love of all things Australian.  X

I'm watching a documentary on the psychology of music and one of the scientists mentions, how it seems many people are attracted to Latin music, due to it's unpredictably through syncopation. But the thing about syncopation is that it is really, extremely predictable. It's just not obvious. much like fractals. A fractal is essentially, a mathematical equation that creates a pattern, infinitely the same no matter how far you zoom in or out. Think of a coastline. If you look at a picture of the entire west coast it has a pattern of a very rough, jagged line. Zoom in to a single beach, the same rough, jagged line. 3 feet of that beach; the same jagged rough line. And we see, it will always look the same. Another similar picture of a fractal is a tree. As two branches split, each has its own branches that split off and into two and those branches have twigs that split off and into two, and so on and so forth. In fact, many things we instinctively find to be b

Oh NPR... I'm truly addicted to your music section. I should stop copying all your posts on my blog and simply just make my blog, a link to NPR music. At this point it practically is. (Here people.  http://www.npr.org/ ) Today you shared with me the goodness that is Jamie Lidell:  And ?uestlove. Along with new music from Steve Martin.   I love you NPR.  On that note, let's discuss my love for Questo, the great drumbino.   I can not say I found him on my own, a good friend and phenomenal musician shared his music with me and out of and attempt to keep up and be cool I gave it a listen. And they say the rest is history! Questlove is one of my favorite musicians, n ot only because he's extremely talented, but he's one of those rare people in the music business who has worked extremely hard and stayed extremely humble. And I like that.  More from NPR:  Patenting genes? I find it so selfish to hinder scientific progress, simpl
