Aires Mateus - Casa Barreira Antunes, Alentejano 2000. A favorite (previously). Via.

When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. “This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar” she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. ‘My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.’ It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women’s contributions?

“Amelie has no boyfriend. She’s tried once or twice, but the results were a let down. Instead, she cultivates a taste for small pleasures: dipping her hand into sacks of grain, cracking creme brulee with a teaspoon, and skipping stones at St. Martin’s canal.”

—Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain

that scary moment when you realize that there are only 5 weeks of classes left until half of your college (undergrad) career is over. and that you're not quite sure where it's gone or what you've done with it.
