Things That Inspired Peace:
This article from MinnPost.com, chronicling citizen response to the upcoming vote in November 2012 hoping to ban gay marriage (via Constitution Amendment).
This song from Cat Stevens. It's so melancholy, but it just makes me feel calm.
Getting to donate things to a silent auction for a theatre I adore and respect the hell out of.
"Minneapolis Hiking" with Sam through the stairwells and 'beaches' of the Mississippi River, because we could.
Getting my latest article posted on Jacks and Jills! (And the content of the article itself).
Things That Evoked Passion:
Actually getting o-u-t (to Lush, specifically) and seeing humans do more than work.
Well-written books! As per usual. This week I finished Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri which was evocative, a little melancholy, and consistently beautiful. I followed it up with Augusten Burrough's Magical Thinking which was hilarious.
Facebook updates from my sister on gay rights issues.
Getting some professional feedback on my Etsy shop.
Things I Just Plain Loved
The movie Easy A. I really didn't know how I'd feel about this movie as an artist or a feminist but I thought it was really freakin' funny. Oscar-fodder, no. But that's more than okay sometimes.
People who announce "You are really, really cute" within seconds of meeting me.
Chillaxin' riverside.
$1 beer. What can I say?
My boss bringing her dog to the box office!
Feeling better!
Actually making it to Suburban Redux rehearsal. I love Gadfly so hard.
How about you guys? What made or broke your week this week? Well, signing off now. Boca burgers are calling. Wishing you each peace, passion, and love. I leave you with some photos chronicling the past couple of weeks:
