I'm a lady who loves Earl Grey tea, skeletons, and stilettos. Also slightly obsessed with tentacles. Wrap your mind around that.

One day I will have a house of my own to decorate. And my sideboard will look like this, only with a glass top. I know this because I’m stealing every piece of my mum’s Danish teak furniture when I have the room to use it. And she knows it.

Sometimes you just need to revisit some of the most beautiful voices of our lifetime.

Today I came across this video of k.d. lang’s visit to KRCW and had to share it. Her voice is smooth like butter and her songs are so full of emotion. I’m also a huge fan of Siss Boom Bang guitarist Joe Pisapia for every musician he works with ends up with absolutely beautiful music.

I could stare at this for hours.

Also I watched last night the program on deep sea squids Chasing Giants: On the Trail of the Giant Squid for the fourth time… late night reruns on Animal Planet FTW. 

The scarring of tentacles on sperm whales from their interactions in the depths is so mesmerizing… 

And I just discovered TONMO the online octopus news magazine. Tonight there will be red wine and lots of reading on cephalopods!
