1. "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell is incredibly relevant to me right now. My favorite part?

"As I have tried to show, modern writing at its worst does not consist in picking out words for the sake of their meaning and inventing images in order to make the meaning clearer. It consists in gumming together long strips of words which have already been set in order by someone else, and making the results presentable by sheer humbug."

2. This recipe for "Paleo Primal Fudge." I don't really follow or care about the Paleo diet, but chocolate? I'm here for that. I made it the other night and it is SO SO GOOD!

3. This article of some guy asking famous authors if symbolism was intentional or not. I thought Ray Bradbury's responses were pretty funny.

4. This article about why we should stop saying "goodbye" at parties gets me. I have always been a fan of the Irish goodbye and I'm glad others agree.

5. Quote brought to you by pinterest. I'm currently trying to work on this and change some things about myself.

6. I don't know why I'm late to the party, but I just discovered Haim like a week or two ago and I love these girls. Days are Gone is a great album - check out "The Wire," "Honey and I," and "Falling."

7. This was an interesting short video about healthy eating and why it's relative. This is especially interesting because I decided I need to get a better handle on PCOS and start eating well again, which means I'm cutting out gluten and dairy, when I can. Dairy is easier though because I don't like it all that much.

8. We started reading Franny and Zooey in Absurdist Hero and I'm about a 2/3rds of the way through. I don't know how I feel about it yet, but I know that the way Zooey treats his mom is appalling.

9. I LOVED this short, yet powerful video about our relationship between each other and our phones. It reminds me to be mindful and intentional about how I use my phone.


So I'm going to catch up on things like Thanksgiving and some other stuff I've been up to. Maybe I can get to that tomorrow.
