Adding a little bit of a floral print to a plain pair of boots? Brilliant. I must try this soon. (via A Beautiful Mess)

Something - The Beatles
“I think that’s about the best track on the album, actually.” — John Lennon
“George’s ‘Something’ was out of left field. It was about Pattie, and it appealed to me because it has a very beautiful melody and is a really structured song. I thought it was great.” — Paul McCartney
“It was beautiful. George was blossoming as a songwriter. With ‘Something’ and ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ — are you kidding me? Two of the finest love songs ever written, and they’re really on a par with what John and Paul or anyone else of that time wrote. They’re beautiful songs.” — Ringo Starr
My best friend from high school is getting married. I’m going to be the maid of honor. This is incredibly exciting and I am so happy for her! So I will be venturing out to Oklahoma in July for this. I somehow must plan a bachelorette party for her from New York. And she better not pick a hideous dress for me.
Work went from being fairly boring to a whole lot of paperwork and craziness. Ahhhh.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Happy MLK day everyone!
I have a boyfriend? Hmm…
Project Unbreakable: how words of abuse can be used to heal
One day last October, while they were out walking, Grace Brown’s friend blurted out the story of her sexual abuse. It wasn’t the first time someone had shared such a secret with her, and, after sleeping on it, she decided to photograph her friend with a poster on which a quote from their attacker had been written. “I just thought: ‘I’ll post this on the internet and maybe more people will see it,’” she says. A week later, feminist authorJessica Valenti reblogged it and exposed the project to a new audience.

Another One Down of the Day: Rick Perry has scheduled a press conference for 11 AM ET this morning, where he is expected to announce the immediate suspension of his presidential campaign.
Sources who spoke with Politico say the Texas governor will endorse Newt Gingrich on his way out. Gingrich, who has been surging ahead of this weekend’s South Carolina primary, will likely enjoy a substantial and much-needed boost to potentially push.
In somewhat related news that could impact the presidential race, certified total from the Iowa caucus put Rick Santorum ahead of Mitt Romney by 34 votes, but, with 8 precincts forever unresolved, the result has officially been declared a tie.

Ignoring the fact that its fantastic that Rick Perry dropped out..how the FUCK do you lose 8 precincts and think that’s okay? Oh, all these people voted, but it doesn’t matter? OH WELL!
