Random tidbits
*For the New Yorkers: friends of ours are launching a NEW taxi-sharing service tomorrow, check it out! www.hitchsters.com
*For the moms to be (and concerned citizens everywhere who do not wish their humanity to be reduced to consumerism): While visiting a new mom in my hubby's hospital, I discovered to my horror and fascination that Chanel delivers fancy goodie bags to moms in their recovery rooms. Full size super expensive stuff! I'm somewhat disgusted, yet now have the goodies in my possession.
*For Crate and Barrel shoppers: Did you know that each hand-blown wine glass you purchase there (for $7.99) requires the skills of 18-20 live people, probably located in Poland? Did you also know that they shine their floors to less than perfectly shiny so as not to distract from their products?
*For those interested in human rights, especially for women and in Sudan: I am officially interning at Amnesty International next week. Kind of intimidated by the knowledge needed and discombobulation this kind of work engenders, but I'll try it out anyway.

the part about the floors' less than perfect shine is interesting... did you know that a technique for making your photographs' whites to 'pop' is to put a white border around the picture, but make the border slightly off white. Your eye adjusts to the border as 'white', and the whites in your picture look brighter.
bunch of cheating, no good... :)
I just surfed "hitchsters.com". Now that's just cool
