For those who somehow missed it, the USA Olympic Swim team's version of Call Me Maybe. They look like they're having a pretty darn good time. i made a statement to Jack this morning about the apparent machismo of certain swimmers, in that they apparently didn't want to play along with the rest of the team and only contributed a ridiculous bit (reference around 1:00 of the clip).
Phrase of the day: hat-trick. To describe doing something successfully three times in a row, most recently in my hearing at the conference i recently attended, by the presenter introducing my labmates and me as we presented consecutively. The part i appreciate is the phrase's origins; " the term "came into use after HH Stephenson took three wickets in three balls for the all-England eleven against the twenty-two of Hallam at the Hyde Park ground, Sheffield in 1858. A collection was held for Stephenson (as was customary for outstanding feats by professionals) and he was presented with a cap or hat bought with the proceeds.""
At a recent Italian-food themed potluck (An Italian Affair) arranged by
my cohort (with thanks to Miss Lily), a few of us enjoyed Campari, that
bitter orange apertif. i was trying to describe how much i really like
their ads: the striking red, black and white color scheme, the pretty
stellar glam photography, so i'll link a few things here: Campari's 2012 Calendar, a pinterest page, and one that i have ripped out a a magazine personally and put in my kitchen. My parents aren't quite sure what to make of that, okay. i'm also a massive fan of Annie Leibovitz's ads for Louis Vuitton, including another that i've ripped out of a magazine and put in my bathroom. Okay, perhaps i should look into replacing those with actual posters?
