While there is a debate as to whether Leap Day is also Sadie Hawkins' Day (thanks Al Capp!), or whether that day is reserved for November, I choose to think Leap Day is the day! Ladies, go ahead and pop the question!

Stolen paintings found in Zurich
Two paintings stolen in one of the world's largest art thefts have been recovered in an abandoned car, Swiss police have confirmed.
The pictures, by Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet, were among four paintings worth $160m (£82m) that were stolen from Zurich's Emil Buehrle Collection.
They were discovered on the back seat of a white sedan parked outside a psychiatric hospital in the city.
Three masked, armed men took the artworks from the museum last week.
The two recovered paintings are Monet's Poppies near Vetheuil (1879) and van Gogh's Chestnut in Bloom (1890).
They were in good condition and still under the glass behind which they were displayed in the museum, Zurich police commandant Philipp Hotzenkoecherle said.
The two other stolen paintings, Degas's Count Lepic and his Daughters (1871) and Cezanne's Boy in a Red Jacket (1888), are still missing.

Aubrey Beardsley: Victorian Erotica
We were evicted from an apartment in 1972 in South Dakota - for having these up in our bathroom.
The landlord saw them when fixing a plumbing problem. They were less acceptable to him probably
than to the Victorians in the 1800s.

Hey Ally,
You don't have to wait to watch it. You can watch it instantly, on your comp. Only new releases HAVE TO go through the mail. You can watch all the older movies instantly. Or almost all of them.

And then enjoy. You will have to download thier player software, but its quick and painless, and all of the movies are DVD quality.

Oh Wow! I Want One TOO!
Christy's post with the painted chairs reminded me of the painted violin we made for our little violinist a few years ago. It was actually quite cool looking for ideas on how other violins had been painted.
It is a new practice for orchestras to paint violins and then auction them off as a fundraiser.
So, I'm going to give you some clickable links because those have a way to click on the picture to get more upclose. And I'll see if there is any to upload.
Check out the beautiful artwork on this violincello

Put in a google search on painted violins and you're sure to find more great painted violins.

So, I was watching this movie...
Have you ever watched something, and afterwords realized you had just seen someones masterpiece?
I just saw the most AMAZING little funky South Korean flick, and my brain is still all twisted.
I saw it on Netflix, but if you can find it, it is called Memories of Murder.
Heres the Netflix rundown
"Based on true events, director Bong Joon-ho's moody suspense thriller follows the investigation of South Korea's first recorded case of a serial killer. Over six years, a vicious psychopath has raped and murdered 10 women. Rural cops Park (Song Kang-ho) and Jo (Kim Roe-ha) are assigned to the case, but working with neither a precedent nor advanced forensic technology, they must rely on primitive methods to piece together the clues. "
