Jane a Day.

Thank you!

My morning started with a Jane-a-Day entry and that latte from Starbucks. I think I'm going to make it my morning ritual at work.

Part of me put this vid up so I couldn't forget it. Haha. It's a beautiful vid about the whole process of throwing the bowl on the wheel. The music is perfect as is the black and white it's shot in.

I love the image of this. SO obsessed w/ Neko Case, what can I say.

I've been listening to a lot of This American Life recently, and am just reminded how powerful a truly good story is. It was one on Conventions, particularly the last segment: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/74/conventions.
