Right Now I Am Obsessed With:

• finding out who Alexander Skarsgård is dating? Who?
  
• unicorns and cakes and pie and stabbing!
  
• figuring out what a future crazy cat lady who is allergic to cats becomes.
  

Bad Ass: Vardzia

Vardzia is a ruined honeycomb of arched passageways and artificially enlarged caves on a steep mountainside in Georgia. It is on a "tentative list" for UNESCO World Heritage status.

Not today but someday: My own flag

If I ever become (choose adjective: rich, famous, lucky, killer-skilled) enough to have my own (choose: country, island, street), my flag will look something like this one from the Benin Empire, a pre-colonial African state situated in modern Nigeria that lasted from 1440 until 1897.

Maybe by then they'll have animated fabric (Harry Potter style) and there will be slicing-head action!

The list

Galileo's finger is on display at the Museo di Storia della Scienza. Go there some day to see it.
