I’m no Buddhist monk, and I can’t say I’m in love with renunciation in itself, or traveling an hour or more to print out an article I’ve written, or missing out on the N.B.A. Finals. But at some point, I decided that, for me at least, happiness arose out of all I didn’t want or need, not all I did.

[this] cup is made of porcelain and has a broad opening and a coaster made from stainless steel. the sugar has been designed to float and disintegrate slowly to make us take our time.
Sounds like a pleasantly literal reminder to slow down and enjoy the simpler things. (via Monoscope)
Easy Reader 2 is now available in the Theme Garden!
Easy Reader, one of my oldest and most popular themes, has finally received some much needed update love. Because this update builds upon the original ER design ideas rather than starting from scratch, anyone who liked the original Easy Reader should find lots to love about ER2. And Easy Reader 2 supports nearly every feature that Tumblr currently makes available (notes, high-res images, reblog notes, tags, day pages, search, custom colors, etc etc), and manages to do it in a simple, elegant, easy-to-read design.
If you’d like to see the design in action, you can preview the theme, or if you’re more adventurous, you can skip straight to installing it.

From the about page:
the photographic dictionary is dedicated to defining words through the literal, figurative, and personal meanings found in each photograph.
The photographs are beautiful and their relation to the words they’re defining are often unexpected. This is the kind of site I could browse all day, though sadly there’s no photographic definition of “cubicle” yet. (via Kitsune Noir)
Timelessness is a mark of mastery.
Apparently there’s a new wave of bars influenced by the speakeasies of the 1920s, and thankfully, the speakeasy influence only extends to the ambience; the drinks are more influenced by the pre-Prohibition cocktail heyday:
Virtually every new wave speakeasy makes a point of showcasing purist cocktails made with fresh fruit juices, house-infused liquors, recherché bitters and hand-chipped ice. The ethos lies somewhere between 1890 and 1910, the golden age of cocktails.
Sounds like my kind of place. Anyone know a bar like this in Nashville?
