This vignette of a ballet sequence in slow motion is not only beautiful to watch, it shows the discipline behind every motion of professional dancers like these two. Wow. Thanks to Margaret for bringing it to my attention.
It’s been some kind of week around here! This slow mama needs a slow weekend, and she’s not going to get one. Boo. I do hope, however, to carve out a little time to get outside and enjoy the tree blossoms, read my new issue of Saveur, and catch up with B. If you’ve got some time to breathe this weekend, you may enjoy checking out some neat things spotted over the past few days:
This Chipotle ad has making the rounds lately. The company seems to be doing fast food the right way, if that can be said. It’s been my favorite chain for a while because of its focus on local, organically raised meats. With the odd exception, I tend to eat vegetarian when I’m out if I know the chicken, beef, or pork is industrially raised. More and more places, however, are wising up to the consumer trend of wanting local and ethically raised meat, so that’s good news for eaters like me.
I’ve got a busy weekend ahead: I’m going to start packing for Spain, attend the baptism of a sweet little girl named Sophie, and spend time with my hubby on Monday because he has the day off — yay! Here are some fun items I found to share with you as we head into the weekend…
Great advice from style icon Iris Apfel (spotted on Design Mom).
Wendell E. Berry — noted poet, essayist, novelist, farmer, and conservationist — will deliver the 2012Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities at the Kennedy Center this April, and the SlowMama crew will be there!
As promised, here’s a wonderful documentary short that’s worth 12 minutes of your time. It’s called The Time Machine and it was filmed at Grand Central Station in New York City by Mark D. Chou. Thanks to my friend, Peter, who thought it was perfect for SlowMama readers and sent it to me.
If you’re too busy to watch it, then you really need to!
