Friday: Link Love (on Saturday)

All of this week's adventures have gone swimmingly, including an awesome trip to what may have been the last showing of Thor in Chicago at 10:30 Thursday. It was one of those straightforward superhero adventures with a bit of a love story, and the visuals were really impressive (and I'm not just talking about that guy's abs, though they were nice, too).  Though I witnessed my first upcloseandpersonal public transit fist fight on the late night ride home, all-in-all it was an excellent adventure, involving sushi and a delicious slice of Nutella cheesecake. My weekend started off Friday afternoon with some fun plans, and this morning I'll take a trip to the farmer's market, plusI'll go watch friends playing live tonight - their band is great, check it out! What are you planning?

This week's link love is all for a single blog again, one I just discovered this week: the wild and wily ways of a brunette bombshell. Here are a couple of posts that have just knocked my socks off. 

*** a good take on dating and the real, honest answer to the "what are you looking for?" question. 

*** an absolutely hilarious misadventure, complete with mouthwatering photo

*** some more gorgeous photos

*** this fabulous reminder:

cherish your solitude. take trains by yourself
to places you have never been. sleep out alone
under the stars. learn how to drive a stick shift.
go so far away that you stop being afraid of not
coming back. say no when you don't want to do
something. say yes if your instincts are strong, even 
if everyone around you disagrees. decide whether 
you want to be liked or admired. decide if fitting in
is more important than finding out what you're doing here.
believe in kissing.

even ensler

When my blog grows up, I want it to be like that one :)
