A Hauntingly Beautiful Zombie Love Story

This Valentine’s Day, the Atlantic Video channel is proud to premiere a heart-melting tale of undead romance. In Rest, an American soldier killed in World War I rises from the grave to go in search of his beloved. He travels miles across stunning locations, filmed in Mendocino County, Morongo Valley and New York City. The short film was produced by Sunday / Paper and directed by Cole Schreiber, who discusses the making of the film in a short interview with the Atlantic Video channel.

China political star Xi Jinping a study in contrasts: This is a profile on the Chinese vice president, who begins his U.S. tour this week. On track to take China’s top post this year, he was sent as a teen to a dirt-poor village.

saw this on Facebook at the exact same time as i was writing an abstract for an oral presentation i’m giving at a research conference about the downfalls of the education system.

Not that if you come from a single-parent or homeless or hungry (etc.) home that you get sub-par grades or test scores, but something to think about.

“So what would our mornings look like if we re-engineered them in the interest of maximizing our creative-problem-solving capacities? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead (with a pen and paper nearby to jot down any evanescent inspirations). We’d stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, dismissing task-oriented thoughts (“What will I say at that 9 a.m. meeting?”) in favor of a few more minutes of mental dilation. We’d take some deep breaths during our commute instead of succumbing to road rage. And once in the office — after we get that cup of coffee — we’d direct our computer browser not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the Web has to offer.”

- Neuroscientists and cognitive psychologists believe a hurried morning kills creativity. (from @rivanathans)

This is how I start my mornings. I’m so lucky.

It’s actually cold today, which means it’s time to go get a cup of hot chocolate. The City Bakery (pictured) just started its annual Hot Chocolate Month, with a new flavor each day (today’s is ginger). We’ve also rounded up seven other delicious cups of cocoa. Yum.

City Bakery is two blocks from my office. #FatFebruary

Epitaph

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:52:46 -0500

Wisława Szymborska, 1923 - 2012

Here lies, old-fashioned as parentheses,
the authoress of verse. Eternal rest
was granted her by earth, although the corpse
had failed to join the avant-garde, of course.
The plain grave? There’s poetic justice in it,
this ditty-dirge, the owl, the burdock. Passerby,
take out your compact Compu-Brain and try
to weigh Szymborska’s fate for half a minute.
