Rhinos should not be this cute.
I think I could seriously snuggle this little guy. He'd probably run me over, but that's ok. Watch him run here! The fact that he's Japanese just makes me love him that much more.
Nap!
I love napping. A day without a nap is not a fully realized day. Of course, I love any research proving how brilliant naps are - here's the latest list of why YOU need a nap:
taking a nap will:
• Increase your on-the-job alertness by 100 percent
• Sharpen your thinking so you make more accurate judgments and better decisions
• Ramp up your productivity
• Regenerate skin cells so you look younger
• Increase your sex drive
• Help you lose weight by altering metabolism and shifting chemicals that affect appetite
• Reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular problems
• Lift your mood by bathing your brain in the neurotransmitter serotonin
• Speed up your ability to perform motor tasks, like typing, operating machinery, even swimming
• Improve your accuracy—in everything
• Improve the way your body processes carbs, which reduces your risk of diabetes
• Sharpen your senses so you take in what's important in your environment—and screen out the 24-hour culture chatter that surrounds us
• Put your brain into its creative gear so you can come up with fresh ideas
• Trigger a naturally occurring hormone that blocks the destructive chemicals produced by stress
• Boost your ability to learn something new—and, better yet, remember it
• Zap the need for drugs like caffeine and alcohol to manipulate your mood and energy level
• Relieve migraines
• Improve your nighttime sleep by eliminating that wired feeling and thus shutting off the brain chatter
• Make you feel good all over

I want a lemur.
No kidding! Have you seen the Kratt Brothers "Be the Creature" when they feature the lemur? Painfully, painfully adorable. And now, look at the babies in Florida. I'll take care of you, little guys!
daisuki!
OMG! Tadahiro Uesugi prints are SO modern and romantic and inspiring and timeless (yes, I see the contradictions, thank you)...The only problem is how to pick my favorite...
