esprit de l'escalier: Things I found interesting today

Definition

[es-pree de less-ka/-iay] (idiom) A witty remark that occurs to you too late, literally on the way down the stairs. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations defines esprit de l'escalier as, "An untranslatable phrase, the meaning of which is that one only thinks on one's way downstairs of the smart retort one might have made in the drawing room."

Here are some I things I found and enjoyed today...

I love Laura Berger's work, it's whimsical and fun. This card is super duper cute.

Mindy Kaling continues to be awesome with this article.

After a two-year hiatus, Ryan Adams is coming out with a new album, and it's streaming on NPR Music.

The Sunbelt has now been harder hit by the recession than the Rustbelt (hey - and we don't have water issues!).

My friend Sam was in the newspaper!

Ooooh -does Ryan Adams do any duets with Mandy Moore? Is it wrong that I kind of like them as a couple?
