Endings
Claire | December 28, 2011
Sometimes I wonder why it is I believe in God. And when I do, one of the things that sustains me is the realization that I do believe the world will end. Anyone attuned to the rhythms and patterns of the human race and of this world we live in can sense that. Someday, the [...]
Style Inspiration

Large parts of the world devolve into black and blue clothing alone when cold weather hits (see: Korea). Fall and winter, however, can actually be an excuse to break out the color, and what better time to do that than when the skies are gray? This girl is rocking the bright yellow jacket, green hoodie, [...]
Grace-note

“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.” -Malachi [...]
Day’s Grace
Claire | December 25, 2011
Recovering from being extremely ill is a strange sensation. It’s like being felled in a war, and then waking up to find that your body and your home and your affairs have gone into complete disarray without you, and you must rebuild and put everything back into order. I feel human again for the first [...]
First Trailer for Julian Fellowes’ Titanic Miniseries
Claire | December 24, 2011
Julian Fellowes, the creator of smash hit Downton Abbey, is making a four-part, large-scale Titanic miniseries, and the first trailer came out today. I must say, I’m a little surprised (and disappointed) that I don’t recognize any of the faces in it – I only occasionally watch British TV but am more familiar with the [...]

Worth a Look
Claire | December 22, 2011
Along with all the cliched Christmas posts, this season occasionally brings out the best writing from bloggers and writers. Such is the case with Preston Yancey, who wrote a particularly beautiful blog piece recently. “I imagine wrapping up sitting on the terra-cotta outside the buildings and away from that horrific metal statue and telling you [...]
Favorite Dramas: Smiling Pasta
Claire | December 22, 2011
2006 Taiwanese drama Smiling Pasta is an old rom-com favorite, and upon rewatching it recently I realized that while it is extremely limited and sometimes very silly, the heart of it is still there, and the reason I loved it (and found it almost as addicting the second time). Namely, the shiny, sparkly, bright-shining chemistry [...]
