Trust me, you'll want to listen to this one.

From now on

you may call me Summer Finn. Everyone else can now be referred to as Tom Hanson. Please and thank you.

Forgotten Chicago

I am such a little worker bee

I am totally on the Bradley Website. Check it out.

:)

This is who I am seeing on the 7th on the Today Show?! I can't wait.

HOLY SHA-MOLEY!

I find this inexplicably enthralling. Maybe it's because I had a tattoo dream last night.

You Make My Dreams Come True

I cannot stop listening to Hall and Oates' "You Make My Dreams Come True."

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Yet somehow I kind of want to spend it alone, doing my own thing. But I don't know what I want to do. I see a problem with this.

I saw 500 Days of Summer yesterday and absolutely LOVED it. Check it out:



It seriously put me in such an extraordinary mood. :) Joseph Gordon-Levitt was great! I remember the days when he was on 3rd Rock from the Sun.

Maybe I will go to the Museum of Natural History. Just maybe.

I don't want to leave this city.

Lite-Brite...FULLBRIGHT!

I just looked it up and found out that 74 people applied for the same Fulbright program in New Zealand that I am going to apply for. 10 grants will be awarded for next cycle (which sounds soANTM).

A little less than 14% of the applicants to the New Zealand program get grants.

Super.

Why? Because I believe life is for the living. I believe in taking risks and biting off more than you can chew. [Kenneth on 30 Rock]

Why This City is the Greatest

Last night Rachel and I went to see the NY Philharmonic Orchestra play Mozart, Beethoven and Mendelssohn for free in Central Park. It was wonderful.

How wonderful, you ask? Check out what the New York Times has to say about it.

Oh, and Alec Baldwin was there. That was just the icing on an already perfect cake.

Fotografia

These are mostly pictures from while I was abroad during the fall semester, but just the same, I like putting pictures on there better than Facebook, so I am sharing them with you here.

Without further ado.

Everyone in the Children's Division at S&S received this email the other day. I thought I would share, in the spirit of all things youthful and nostalgic:

The Best Kids' Books Ever.

What the heck! Something good, something bad:

Why S&S's eBook Venture Will Inevitably Fail.

Check out the show Dexter. You will not regret it.

Promise.
