Falling Slowly wins Best Song!

I'm just so pleased that "Falling Slowly" from the movie Once won for best song at the Oscars last night. It's a gorgeous song and a wonderful movie, one of my current favorites. Both Glen and Marketa's acceptance speeches were sweet and inspiring. Marketa's return to the stage after getting played off initially was definitely the best moment of the night. So happy for them!

More of me!

In case you hadn't noticed, I've added a Twitter feed to the sidebar of my blog page (and set it to update the status on my Facebook as well), so now you instant updates on my every fleeting thought and mundane action. Ah, the miracle of the internets!

All this Useless Knowledge


Saw this blog post about an abandoned book depository in Detroit a few months ago and it really stuck with me. It's just so sad to think of all these books, all this knowledge going to waste.

I happened to mention it to Bobbo last night and thought I'd share it with all of you. The writer of the blog also posted some amazing pictures on Flickr that you should definitely check out.
