Things I Like That Are A Little Bit Magical, One of Which Makes Me More of a Nerd Than the Others

1. Young Love, performing tonight at Annex (Orchard between Stanton & Rivington). Click to see the flyer larger:

2. Julian Gilbert’s nightlife photos, because even when I feel like crap he manages to make magic happen with his camera.

3. The actual story behind changelings, which I just learned from NPR. I remember reading about them when I was little. The whole “a fairy swapped our newborn baby for a fairy baby, and that’s why our baby looks funny” story was apparently just a convoluted mythological rationalization for leaving deformed or unwanted babies in the woods (because the fairies might come take their hideous changeling back and return the perfect baby the couple knew they had given birth to). When I told Kathy what I learned from NPR, she said “yeah, but I guess you turned out all right.”
