RAFFI. If you did not have Raffi when you were growing up as a kid, then I am truly sorry for you. Best children's singer ever.

My boyfriend's katana. (Insert size and sword jokes here.) In all seriousness, this is a beautiful blade - gives me shivers to unsheathe it. I have a bit of a thing for swords.

These are some amazing little cookies that I first encountered abroad in London - they're called Petit Ecolier, which means "little schoolboy" in French, and are essentially buttery shortbread cookies covered in rich chocolate.

I give you my town's best donuts - they're specially made with potato flour and yeast, so they're nice and fluffy, and always freshly baked. My favorite are the cinnamon sugar.

Now it's time to play the game, "Spot the Fading Rainbow"! Swear it was there when I took the picture...

Violets springing out of a patch of ivy. 'When will I stop posting all these bloody flowers?' you ask? When they stop being awesome.

Cherry blossom tree coming into full bloom. These are my absolute favorite flowers.

Happy Spring! The view from my apartment has gone all green and flowery. It's been a trip to be here for a full year and see how much the seasons change it.

Breakfast at the best coffee shop in town. Bran muffins, hard-boiled eggs, bread pudding, and coffee. And excellent company besides.

Remember hot dogs? I feel like they were such a huge 90s food item. Making them for lunch today made me feel like a kid again.

Happy Run-The-Poor-Pagans-Out-Of-Ireland Day! I celebrate with a distinct lack of green. Look! More flowers!

So in addition to acting, I also love directing - and I'm finally getting the chance to do it again! The Man with the Flower in His Mouth, by Luigi Pirandello - painful revelations of the human condition and language as deep as Shakespeare's.

I love the return of flowers. When the seasons change, I always feel vaguely appreciated. I'm always ready for it and expecting it, and when it finally happens it feels like it's been done just to make me happy.

Daffodils and daisies are the most cheerful flowers there are. I'm so glad that the daffodils at least are making an appearance now.

Last night, with no advance preparation, I performed as Luciana in a no-holds-barred spontaneous production of Comedy of Errors.
And it was bloody amazing.

And now for a post appreciating the little things: a new hairdryer. And with how blasted thick my hair is, this is a real lifesaver.

The buds are starting to come out on all the trees. Can I just say how ready I am for spring?

The spring rains came upon us yesterday, and today I noticed that all the little streams around the mountains were practically overflowing.

Statues of the Hindu gods Ganesh and possibly Shiva - not entirely certain. I think Hinduism is fascinating - need to put that on my to-research list. (Some people have reading lists, I have lists of topics to conquer.)

I had wanted to make cookies for Valentine's Day, but this month got so crazy I didn't have time to breathe, let alone bake. I barely had time to make these - made the dough one night and put it in the fridge, then baked and decorated the following night.
These turned out so tasty, though - well worth the wait and not worrying about things like dates. They're sugar cookies dipped in white chocolate and with M&Ms placed on. I added a little red food coloring to the dough to give the cookie itself a tie-dyed red look. Yum!

Holy hells, how is it March already? In honor of spring coming on fast, I give you my current favorite nerdy reading. Mmm, Shakespearean rhetoric.
