Welcome to Elmhurst Hospital

That's a real photo of the hospital where my boyfriend works.

"Massage my hand, and I will fix everything!"

"Not bad!"

Why you should never google "naked mole rat"

I mean, really?

I'll never understand the baby panda phenomenon. They get a bit cuter, but the newborns are quite icky.

This photo gives me vertigo

Diversity of youth in Oslo Norway.jpg

This photograph is displayed on Wikipedia with the caption: "A group of youth interacting."

(from L-R):
"Ugh, I hate interacting."
"Come on, Rita. Let your belly hang out! You'll see--it's great!"
"No. I hate everything."
"Hey camera. Interact with this guy."
"That girl still crying? What is girls' problem? I'll give her something to cry about when I let this gum roll out the side of my mouth into her hair."

Wild Rice and Brown Rice Salad With Walnuts and Asparagus??!?!

I think right after I posted about my unhealthy obsession with the New York Times' Recipes for Health section, Martha Rose Shulman started making really disgusting-looking recipes. Like today's White Bean Puree, which can be thinned with milk. Ew. Bean puree with milk?! What happened to you, Martha? Scambled Eggs and Assparagus?! There's no cheese in that. Barley and Mushroom Salad with English Peas? A photograph of that does not make my mouth water.

It wasn't so long ago we were enjoying saliva-worthy images of Pureed Potato and Brocolli Soup with Parmesan Croutons and Japanese Spinach with Sesame Dressing and Black Bean Chili.

But now it's all quinoa and walnuts. Get with the program.

Far be it from me

to mock the unique culture and clothing of another nation, but even the guy in the back of this picture is like, "Seriously, you need those sunglasses indoors?"

Happy baby crocodiles

I'm not really an animal person, per se, but who can resist animals that look like they are smiling? And most baby animals except for newborn pandas?

My new favorite photographer?
