This Wreck Of A Life - Sam Roberts

Today was beautiful.

Horsetail Falls (via andykee)
                                    “Horsetail Fall is a pathetically small (at least by Yosemite standards) seasonal waterfall that flows off the east side of El Capitan. Despite its size and fickle nature, this waterfall puts on one hell of a show. During the last few weeks of February, the setting sun’s rays strike El Cap at the correct angle to illuminate the falls and make it glow like flowing lava.”

BBC - Did the discovery of cooking make us human?


mykicks:

Cooking is something we all take for granted but a new theory suggests that if we had not learned to cook food, not only would we still look like chimps but, like them, we would also be compelled to spend most of the day chewing.

Without cooking, an average person would have to eat around five kilos of raw food to get enough calories to survive.

The daily mountain of fruit and vegetables would mean a six-hour chewing marathon.

It is already accepted that the introduction of meat into our ancestors’ diet caused their brains to grow and their intelligence to increase.

I just got a free granola bar for choosing to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Now I’m on the top floor and feeling the burn!

“Physical experience makes a much deeper impression than a purely intellectual encounter. I can explain to you what it’s like to feel cold, but I can also have you feel the cold yourself through my art. My goal is to sensitize people to highly complex questions.”

I decided that today would be a good day to file my ‘Intent to Graduate’ form. Good thing, because today happens to be the due date!
