The Light Between Oceans

"Perhaps the same labeling obsession caused cartographers to split this body of water into two oceans, even though it is impossible to touch an exact point at which their currents begin to differ. Splitting. Labeling. Seeking out otherness. Some thing don't change."

Taken from page 51 of The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman

What is this?

Have you seen a preview for Movie 43? It is the strangest trailer I have ever seen. I can't understand why so many great actors and actresses agreed to do this movie. Am I missing something? Just as a warning, this trailer should be rated R, and is not appropriate for work. The only reason I'm sharing it is so someone can explain it to me.

GIRLS

You guys, I just finished my Master's degree!! So long for now, homework and papers! Hello knitting, baking, reading for pleasure, creative writing, movies, TV shows, music, Bikram yoga and spending more time with friends!! I'm now at a point in my life where I do have my Master's degree, which will hopefully give me a leg up when applying to new jobs (I'm looking to get into Higher Education Administration). This crossroad in my life reminded me of Lena Dunham's show, GIRLS. On the show about twenty-something girls, the characters struggle to find meaning in their lives. Season two premieres January 13th on HBO, take a look at the trailer:


I may just have to re-watch season 1 while I anticipate season 2... looks so good! And also, how much do you love that Ellie Goulding song "Anything Could Happen," that is featured in the trailer?? Her whole CD is amazing.. I recommend you check it out! It's called Halcyon. Here are some other things I'm really into right now:

*Anything Peppermint flavored
*Spotify
*Online Shopping (on the verge of an addiction)
*Holiday Cards 
*Making cookies for friends & fam

What are you guys into these days? Do you have any good cookie recipes? Please share with me if you do :)
