He collected pre-Hispanic pottery and indigenous folk art. And he experimented with sculpture and architecture. Between 1950 and 1952, Rivera built a giant tiled fountain to the Aztec rain god Tlaloc as part of an overhaul of Mexico City’s municipal water system.</p></blockquote> <p>Need to see this</p>http://bklyndad.com/post/17357876835http://bklyndad.com/post/17357876835Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:25:37 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz4ncvIEAx1qz8k03o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.sahdpdx.com/2012/02/08/the-kindergarten-economy/">The Kindergarten Economy</a></p><blockquote>Lately I’ve started to notice that the snack he has left over is not the snack I sent him with in the morning.</blockquote>http://bklyndad.com/post/17316633152http://bklyndad.com/post/17316633152Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:12:30 -0500<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/17315976519/tumblr_lz4ic48Ff41qz7ptn&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p><a href="http://newspeedwayboogie.tumblr.com/post/17315035255/wow-leave-me-manhattan-i-want-the-evergreens" class="tumblr_blog">newspeedwayboogie</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>wow.</p> <p><em>Leave me Manhattan, I want the evergreens.  Write me a song I can sing in my sleep</em></p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tumblr.absono.us/post/17314643705/damien-jurado-working-titles-morning-all">whitneymcn</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Damien Jurado</strong> - <em>Working Titles</em></p> <p>Morning, all.</p> </blockquote></blockquote>http://bklyndad.com/post/17315976519http://bklyndad.com/post/17315976519Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:39:16 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyzosackBW1r077mxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://hoganhere.tumblr.com/post/17167687231/cant-decide-whether-to-guzzle-or-chew-your" class="tumblr_blog">hoganhere</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Can’t decide whether to guzzle or chew your dessert?
