Food for Thought

Did you know...


this is what the inside of a pear looks like?

learn something new everyday! it's so flower-y and peaaar-fectly (HA!) symmetrical. I tried to use it as a stamp, but i only had nail polish... and it just turned into this watery nail polish puddle. too bad i couldnt turn it into pearaphernalia (HA!)!

This is Poppycock

Glow with the Flow

Fun with neon lights and iphone cameras.

Simon Says "Meow"

There's this cartoon shorts series on the interwebs that I LOVE. It's about this dude and his cat. They recently came out with a new episode. I actually think I like this one the most. Simon's Cat is totes Poe and Poopsie!!

Hungry Hungry Bearling

Feeding time in the chan household

1000 days of Summer

1000 because I've seen it twice already in the first 5 days it was out. I haven't even seen harry potter twice yet. I think that says a lot.

LOVE it. quirky, hilar, weird, amazingness, break out into dance scene: everything you'd want in a movie. AND it has a superb soundtrack. Go see it!

Trailer:

And they have this fun thing HERE where you can upload your own photos into the poster:

Also, just found this funny little gem on the interwebs. the movie definitely could have benefitted from inclusion of this scene, nothing like some upper man thigh to bring a film to the next level. (it wont make sense to you unless you've seen the movie, so go see it if you haven't!!):

My Milkshake Brings All the Boys to the Back Yard

I'd like this backyard please.

Sketch Ballz

I've decided I'm going to start sketching things. I was inspired by these cool sketches I found on design*sponge, so hopefully they'll look like this:


but for now they're looking like this:
one step at a time!!

Probably Too Ambitious...

What are the chances I can make this lamp out of ikea bowls? I'm adding it to my Craft To-Do list.

Look Book - Forever 21

I've never really been a brand whore (god knows I love that $5 rack at Urban) and recently I noticed some pretty legit styles at Forever 21. They started all these "luxury" lines, like twelve by twelve or love 21, and although I'm sure the dresses will crumble after 3 wears, it's all good cuz they're all under $30.

I'm going shopping tomorrow with Jenna and I'll be looking for:




Also, just thought about the ridiculousness of me, at 24, shopping at Forever 21. Is it still ok that I shop at Forever 21 as a 24 year old? Or is it pathetic because I'm supporting the idea of being forever 21, and dressing as I did as a 21 year old... ok i rather not thinking about it

Master Craft

Crafts I want to attack during the weekend:

Cutlery Hooks

Tote Bag Pillows
(Great because I have a shit ton of totes and no pillows)

Paint Swatch Wall
(I don't think Home Depot will be happy with me taking all their swatches...)

Yellow Pages Pencil Holder

Can't wait to craft, haven't in a while. I get to use my glue gun again!!!

that was a geeky statement. don't judge me based on that.

Confusion.

I open my email to this:


what the hell is going on here?!
Hanson is still a group? Did they make a comeback I somehow missed? Doesn't the middle one have like, a gaggle of Hanson spawn? How does he have time to tour? And what are they going to sing, all they got is Mmmbop? And how the hell did hellogoodbye get sucked into this?! come on guys, tagging on to HANSON?? HANSON!

=^o . o^=

I like to Move it Move it

New apartment!

Nicky helping me build a 500 lbs ikea coffee table:

Zombies knees

promotional tee for resident evil:

what better way to show your Darkside than by your very own pull your t-shirt over your head and become a zombie t-shirt. brilliant.

Ew.

Well. I guess that's it for me and McDonalds.

Going through the looking glass

while everyone else is busy watching that stupid video of lebron james getting schooled (it's so blurry you can hardly see shit), i found the newly release trailer for alice in wonderland. looks awesome, not that tim burton would pop out anything less. johnny depp is per usual manic and fantastic. comes out march 5, 2010!

GOOD is as GOOD does

We've been doing this program with GOOD for the Prius launch at work. To celebrate, our rep Huan sent over this gigaaaaaantic cake:

You should definitely check out the collaboration, which highlights the harmony (i.e. above design) between man nature and machine:

also this awesome pull out poster is in the current issue of GOOD Magazine:

Hug it out

SO CUTE

Look Book - The Fashion Show

I got cable on Saturday. I havent had more than 5 working channels since college. So naturally I spent all weekend watching marathons on Bravo and MTV. Highlights included Top Chef Masters (where did that asian chick host come from??), 16 and Pregnant (juno-turned-tv series?), and The Fashion Show (poor man's proj runway).

I don't particularly like how The Fashion Show is put together... and their runway looks really jenky looking, Kelly Rolwand is totally whatever, and the contestants are only OK.

However, one desigener's final collection was AWESOME. Ready to wear stuff, but I really like her style/choice of colors. I think her name was Anna? Anyway, here were her looks:

my fav colors, so no doubt i likey

really like the beading thing happening up front. reminds me of a shirt katie has

kinda retro classic turned modern?

is taht nasari from proj runway?!
