Happy Birthday A$ham!

House of (what was once) Prayer

I'm going to say this is in England... some dude turned an old church into a house! It looks super cushy, check it out



this room is my fav:
Imagine living in this thing!!

YAHOO Today!

Go to Yahoo.com today! Prius Homepage Takeover!
One of the less annoying/way more fun to watch HP takeovers, if I do say so myself.

What the, that guy totally looks like:

So today I was looking at apple site...
...and noticed this guy promoting the college computer/ipod deal...
...who looks FREAKISHLY like my brother.
Am I right or am I right?! Ryan, do you have something to tell the family?!

Rembrant Remake

Added onto the photo project to-do list!

The Chans

My brother when he was a baybay:
He was a little crosseyed when he was young. My dad used to tell his friends this story:
"When you were a baby, you looked like a potato. We thought you would be retarded! But you're not" - Dad

My dad:
Real excited to be at niagra falls

Maurizo Cattelan

He's a weird one. He does these lifelike ridiculous situational pieces like this:
which is kinda cute, but then scary ones like this:

"what is that smell?! It smells like... Perm."-nick on the sudden odor in the theater

What the future beholds...

What we learned from doing the Routan baybay experiment last night: Marty and Jenna should not procreate:

Lazy eye, whaaaaat?

This is what "it" would look like if we factor more jenna in:

ahhh so pasty!!

And then the Lauren/Jenna baybay:

Looks extremely drugged (but happy)

And last important lesson from last night: Jenna should not get bangs.

Kitty-cat | Katie-cat

bear looks terrified. she got the crazy eyes!

Speaking of James Franco...

He has these hilarious videos on funny or die. You must watch. All 3. Hilarity.

Part 1:

Acting With James Franco Episode 1: "Sense Memory" from James Franco

Part 2:

Acting with James Franco Episode 2: "Green Screen" from James Franco

Part 3:

Acting with James Franco Episode 3: Scene Work from James Franco

To the window, to the wall

OK, I'm not really sure what this wholphin site is, what the point is really, and how Dave Eggers got involved in this but it's hilaaaaarious.

From what I can piece together, they asked James Franco to tear up a room... and then he did. The video then goes on to show you 30 seconds of what looks like the most fun anyone has ever had with ikea furniture.

Watch the video here (and James Franco is just so darn cute you can't NOT watch):

Thanks to Nick for this one!

Splish Splash

Because it's summer and all I've been thinking about it pool parties, thought I'd share some cool ones I've stumbled upon.
You could stand at the edge and look straight out underwater!

This one is neat. It's in Belgium or something and is the world's deepest man-made pool. It's a favorite for scuba divers because there are all these tunnels and rooms you can go explore.

This is the pool at the Golden Nugget. Pretty shitty hotel, but their pool is apparently amazing. There's a 40ft slide that takes you through a shark tank, and whatever is happening in this picture with the lounge chairs in the water looks wonderful. We may have a new venue for our annual vegas trips?!

Brekkie to kick off Friday!

This is beyond amazing, blows my mind. Especially since when I stumbled upon it, the hand was below the fold... the reveal was awesome. LOVE it.

Picture Book (la la la)

My friend Lawrence (aka L Wo) is of the artsy designer type, and has been posting these cool photos on fb for a while now.


It reminds me of the 500 Days of Summer poster (which I am dying to see btw. Looks soooo gooooooo). THey have this thing on their site where you can upload your own pix. 500 days of michie:
Make your own poster

And then there's this awesome polaroid one from LWo... I'm a sucker for polaroid in general but extra like his execution of this one:

Pengu

Cute penguin I found on craftster.com. Loooooove the patch work/mixed fabrics!
Reminds me of the less-cute-in-comparison penguin I made for eric for valentines day last year:

Free Pinkberry!

On Friday. To celebrate their new summer flava flavs, coconut and passionfruit.

That last fruit cornicopia thing looks AMAZING.

Sidenote: Marty and I went to yogiyoyo (a walking distance version of pinkberry that Marty and I drove to despite close vicinity) and I was JUST talking about how I really wanted coconut pinkberry. The pinkberry gods heard me! Hurrah!

Friday June 26th from 5p-9p at participating stores

The Nom Nom Truck

Get ready for some deliciousness.

Misa, who already has her own jewelry store up and running (MissMisa.com), is now venturing into the world of mobile food distribution. Her and another UCLA alum are starting up a bahn mi truck!
Noms.

Bahn mi are these tasty Vietnamese sandwiches. The meat is prepared asian-y, but then it's placed on a baguette (european-y). I believe they were a result of the french colonization from the war? (right? history major jenna? vietmanese tasha? eh?) If you didn't know about them before, that's because there's a gross lack of bahn mis on the westside. That's what Nom Nom Truck is for!
They'll be launching in August, begining with some Farmers Market precense. Keep up to date on their development (and Misa's haircut) at their site:
NomNomTruck.com

I can't wait! I'm sure they'll do amazingly. Good luck guys!

Side Notes:
Interesting fact: David, the co-founder, was involved in a couple other start ups including beardhead. I know you've seen them...

(yes, that's peter)

Definition: Nom\, n. [F. See Noun.]
The sound made when eating something (or someone). Can be referred to as "nomming" as a verb, ans is often pronounced int he sentence "om nom nom".

BUNNAYS & Friends

Paintings by Lawrence Yang. I like because he uses bunnies in a lot of them.
I also really like the way he displays his art on his site, a la workspace:
