Your thoughts.

Court's gonna kill me for this, but here is a picture of my sister's room:

The King.


I love the Elvis Room at Mama's.

Art of the Day.

Just stumbled upon this site for illustrator, Dan Krall.
I think he's german, perhaps? I love the werido camp/animal subject matter and the cartoon dreamlike way he depicts everything.

Tree House Manse.

In case you were wondering, I will be spending my Christmas holiday this year in Southern India, at the Wild Canopy Reserve, in a deluxe tree-house manse. Don't worry, they've got a jacuzzi. And "well-appointed toilets". Phew!

It's 4:08 pm.

So, I just decided that one thing I can't live without having some time in life is an old skool camper. Cuz those things are awesome.

Also, one thing I'm kindof bummed that I didn't do this summer is canoe.

And last, I think starbucks is trying to torture me because on this, day two of no-more-lattes, they have decided to bring the pumpkin spice latte back into town. Damn you SB!

You've got questions. Mogulling's got answers.


Ask the 8 ball. Anything. Go ahead. Ask it.

Ding Dong? Could it be true? This morning's regularly scheduled bus driver ho was replaced! By gentlemanly proper bus driver. Stay tuned to see if ho was just filling in for this guy.

Day Two of no-more-lattes plan: so far so good. I've already saved $8! Working up to being excited about drinking tea...gimme a mintue...

Lucky socks. That's all. Am wearin' em. Fixin' to be a good day.

Today's workout plan: don't ever take a class from that one ho again. She gets off on making people jump rope...and that just ain't right for the double D crowd.

Lunch. Kim and I are trying out CJ's for a breakfast-lunch today. I can't wait! Breakfast for lunch is always awesome. I'll let you know how CJ's measures up.

Culture of "Should"

I just came accross this article about why women always have that nagging "should" feeling when they're trying to relax. And that's pretty much how I've felt for the passed month.
The Culture of "Should"

Don't believe me?

Ask Yelp. Coolest review site out there (if you know of a better one, best send that link my way). Also a great way to pass time.

New Feature!!

So my new weekly feature is: Date of the Week. I'm posting DOTW on Tuesdays, because I feel that's the proper day to be asking someone out. None of this Thursday, 11:30 pm bs people.
Since I'm such a fan of Blue Bottle Art Gallery, I'm suggeseting the art date. First head to BBAG, and afterwards to Piecora's on Capital Hill for pizza and fantastic conversation. Maybe a little makeout.

Slow blog day.

So far there's nothing interesting in the blog/happenings world right now. Boo! But only because I decided to spare everyone from the "who looked a hot mess at the Emmy's" post, and because I don't really care about Mariner's news. But...one tiny rant: bumbershoot tix were selling for $25 instead of $30 in advance...but with the online ticket charge, the advance tickets come to $30.25. Um...yeah. Thanks!

Ok, who's coming with me?

After reading a review of the Can Can on metrobloggingseattle, I now HAVE to check this place out. HH anyone? After Labor Day perhaps?
Here's the review

Long overdue and further solidifying my love for Target

Design activity pages in Scholastic Instructor magazine

AIGA has entered into a project with Target and Scholastic magazine to promote design thinking in the K-12 classroom. The first of three planned issues of Instructor magazine will be distributed to more than 200,000 teachers nationwide in August.

The first poster and activity pages were designed by Alexander Isley to respond to Andy Warhol’s “Soup Cans.” Hettie Jordan-Villanova, designer and educator worked with AIGA to create a design-related activity for kids, using cans, an inexpensive, readily available and relevant material.

The next poster in the series will be designed by Rafael Esquer, in response to the work of Picasso.

Urban Forest Project planted in Times Square

One hundred eighty-five of the world’s most celebrated designers and artists have joined together for “Design Times Square: The Urban Forest Project,” an unprecedented outdoor exhibition in the heart of New York City organized by Worldstudio Foundation, AIGA New York and Times Square Alliance. For this project, designers employed the form of the tree, or a metaphor for the tree, to make a powerful visual statement.

This “forest” of banners will be hung from light posts throughout the Times Square district. Following their display (September 1 to October 31), the banners will be recycled into tote bags designed by Jack Spade and auctioned to support mentoring and scholarship programs. For more information, visit www.urbanforestproject.org

Finally!

So awesome. I can't believe it! This tent will be saving people accross the world from tent conflict. You know, the standard, "that's not how you do it" tent fight. Wait, maybe that's just me.

These pendants are a little ridiculous but I totally dig anyway.

Pemberley Manse.

I am trying to finish my British-version Pride & Predjudice dvd. But I keep falling asleep. That shit is not that great. So far the most intersting part of the dvd has been Mr. Darcy's manse, Pemberley.

Dear Morning Bus Driver

Please learn how to drive. It's called "defensive driving". I know it's a big shock to you, when the light turns red after it's been yellow for only a short time, but when you slam on the brakes at every possible moment it interrupts my nap time. You ho.

Little Miss

I just saw Little Miss Sunshine with my family tonight. I loved everything about this movie. I can't remember the last time I was actually laughing that hard in the theater. Also, it was really frickin' tender.
