Hi. I'm Marco's sister. Those of you who don't know me can call me Pearl. When I was nineteen, I bit into a pearl in a fried oyster in some linoleum-floored crab shack on Cape Cod.
I'm a recovering graduate student, high school Spanish teacher, unrepentant history geek, and budding mystic. I've traveled to four of the seven continents. I always love to discuss politics, religion, history, and philosophy. In my other life, I'm also a wife with really poor housekeeping skills. But I can cook.
Feeling a bit homesick today.
And really missing Barnacle Jim.
“Mr. McCain is giving up his effort to take the state back into the red column, concluding that economic distress there has simply put the state out of reach, according to Republicans familiar with the decision.”
So let me ge this straight. He’s giving up on winning Michigan because the economy there is in the toilet? Where does he think the rest of the country is headed? If elected, will he do anything to aleviate the distress, or is that too far out of reach, too? So much for his pitch at being a ‘change and hope’ candidate.
I’m no Obama fan, but he’s looking like a more attractive candidate every day.
Two happier updates:
It’s officially 5769 - happy 2nd day of the new year everyone! Hope all of your knoshes last night were delicious =)
Also, I got my boyfriend the coolest present for his birthday and I can’t wait to give it to him! Wooo
I’d never heard of this artist nor seen his work. But the title of the obituary, “Painter of Silences”, just seemed so haunting and beautiful.
I would love to see more of his work.
“View of the World from 9th Avenue, 1976“
We had this in our living room when I was a child. I’d say it’s a pretty acurate representation of how New Yorkers view the world.
Rumi (via thebronzemedal) (via robot-heart)
Ahhh, there are more lovers of Rumi here in the Tumblrverse. Alhamdulillah!
