My friend Asher has started a blog about movies and music. If reading rants about that kinda stuff floats your boat, take a gander.  

Friday's Quick Notes Vol. 2

I’ve been studying biology almost constantly all week trying to get up to snuff for my applications for midwifery school. In the middle of studying the Respiratory Tract I was surprise swiped by an etymology question (er...from my head). The name for an inhalation of breath is inspiration, and exhalation is expiration. Obviously, expiration later came to be associated with death as well as food ‘going off’. And this sort of makes sense. “To breathe one’s last” etc. The final breath out that signifies the end.

But what about inspiration? My friend Kate and I had fun talking about expanding with fresh ideas and getting the chemical processes together that spark new life (and ideas!).  And thus the connection between the inspiration of breath and inspirational thought.

Thoughts? Anyone actually know?

Working on my handmade presents (sewing almost everything this year!) and watching It's a Wonderful Life.  Does anyone else have a serious crush on Jimmy Stewart? I find him incredibly dreamy.
