"Do you realize that the $850 billion bank bailout — that sum of money is greater than the entire 50-year running budget of NASA. And so when someone says we don’t have enough money for this space program, I’m asking ‘No, it’s not that you don’t have enough money. It’s that the distribution of money that you’re spending is warped in some way that you are removing the only thing that gives people something to dream about tomorrow.’"

– Neil deGrasse Tyson (via fortyandtwo)

"We have learned—too often through the hard lessons of neglect and waste—that if man brutalizes the landscape, he wounds his own spirit; if he raises buildings which are trivial or offensive, he admits the poverty of this imagination; if he creates joyless cities, he imprisons himself. And we have learned that an environment of order and beauty can delight, inspire and liberate men."

Tell me how four-year old Billy knew that?

Oh, kids these days. =)

Curbed comes through again with cool, miniature architecture =D

Ok, even if you’re NOT an L.A. native, you’ve probably heard of Pink’s?

Here’s Pink’s…for ants!!! ;-) Zoolander reference…

And if you ARE an L.A. native, it will be super-fun to check out these miniatures of landmarks you might recognize! Personally, The Trails is my favorite! It’s a tiny little eatery at the foothill of Griffith Park, and they serve AMAZINGLY FRESH and yummy food. Had it the afternoon of my graduation. Highly recommend the avocado sandwich. =) And blue-corn bread!

LOVE the representational integrity of these figures. Amazing.

HAHAH I KNOW!! I’ve been seeing your facebook posts about painting your room and stuff. I can’t decide!! =0( I’ve been trying to do a total and complete overhaul :-D 

Decisions are so painful. :-(
