I pretty much laugh at anything. Easy to please that way, I guess. But I truly couldn’t stop myself from busting up when I saw this little ditty by an awesome photographer named Amy Stein:

!!!

I don’t even know what to say because words can’t even start to explain the sweetness.  And I love her style.  So much depth and honesty in these photos.

Check out her “Domesticated” album here on her website.

Playing the Building

Check out this article in the New York Times about how David Byrne is awesome.

Why wouldn’t you play a building like an instrument?

26. See a night filled with fireflies. Try to catch some.

27. See Prince in concert. Oh wait. Did that last month! YES!!!

50. Witness a child being born.

zing!

The hilarious comment below is courtesy of my best friend:

“…Evidently, Lenny Kravitz now has his own Interior Design company?!?  I bet he decorates everything with coke and dreds.  And nose rings….”

Woooooo doggy!  Did someone order an extra side of Funny today because I think it got delivered to my table?

Hilarious.
