How to look at the winter without actually going out into the winter

I just spotted this house on the Odessa May Society.

How rad is that? A cozy-looking stone cottage all old and snowy and probably filled with tons of glowing hearths etc, and then that big glass box (that's presumably also warm somehow) so you can sit and marvel at all the snow-beauty and never actually have to go out into it! If I were forced someday to take a romantic winter vacation in snowland, I would insist upon this feature. Win win win.

Tristan, my awesome soon-to-be brother in law, just sent me this little piece of amazing. I think it's my christmas present. I'll take it, sir!

(I think the watermark is supposed to be a deterrent, but really it just adds to the majesty)

I always knew he totally gets me.

Hamburger Wrapping Paper

Great idea. Though I would hate to get a gift wrapped only in the "meat patty" sheet. It's glistening.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Loki!

Here's to the best little floofball I know!

eight weeks old and sleepy  

total polar bear

just chillin' so hard

just sliding face-first into a mud puddle

stone cold digging

being an ewok

frolicking with his BFF Winston

 wearing the cone of sadness 

so gonzo

so noble 

so river-dipped

You're a good boy, Loki.
