The Unbearable Cuteness of Being

You may have noticed a trend in my last few posts: aborability. Ok, maybe my journal entry on the election wasn’t cute, exactly, but it did give me a warm, fuzzy feeling. And now I bring to you a penultimate image in a series of cute things: my friend Sarah’s son Elliot, who was chosen as the “face” of Illinois’s Bright Start college savings plan. Yes, I know a television STAR:

Now, like any lover of books worth her salt (or ink, or paper), I cherish Jane Austen. And so does Stephen Colbert! Here is a very funny retelling of the sport of baseball through the lens of Austen manners and romance (the baseball-Austen thing starts at 1:45).

Lastly, I’ve created a FAQ page about The Cabinet of Wonders. Here it is.

I may not post again for a while, as I have some Very Important Business to attend to tomorrow morning. But I promise to update as soon as I can, with images that are even cuter than a baby dressed like a spider, than a pygmy hippo in water, than Americans exercising their right to vote, than a boy with sweet potato in his hair. Of course, I will be TOTALLY biased.
