Alicia Keys Violin Cover

I can so see using this in a movie soundtrack. There's something so uplifting about it.

Sand Animation

from Ukraine's Got Talent. Really amazing performance. Reminds me of a quick-fire spray paint artist I saw once on the street in Mexico.

Thomas Demand

Would you believe those are photographs of sets...made out of paper?
Yeah pretty neat. Just went to his opening at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin.

Polish Posters

Turns out that when American movies come out in Poland, they make their very own screenprinted posters. Forget all that studio shit! Poland keeps it real.


Buy them here. I want one!!!

RIP Patrick Swayze

Lovers of bad action movies everywhere are in mourning.
I've never seen Ghost or Dirty Dancing, maybe I should check them out in tribute.
edit: too soon?

New TOMS Cordones

TOMS with laces!!! Love 'em!

Google shows 14 paintings from the Prado

I just heard about this. On Google Earth now you can go to the Prado Museum in Madrid and view 14 of their masterpieces paintings in ultra high resolution. See the video below to see just how up close and personal you are able to get. It's amazing!

megashark vs. giant octopus

...is a real movie.
wow.

oooh my god there are so many amazing things about that trailer.
one: when suddenly a giant shark and a giant octopus are unleashed on the world, the plan is "we'll get them to kill each other."
two: "it rises"
three: "I looked into its eyes" *shudder*
four: the last scene...oh you'll see.
Apparently it was going to be a 3D movie but they couldn't get the funding. Hahaha I wonder why.

t-shirt slogans

I've seen some hilarious ones this summer in Brooklyn:
"Don't hate me because you ain't me" (stretched over several layers of fat)
"SATISFIED"
"My favorite subject is texting"
and perhaps the most strange/confusing,
"Oops! My puppy ate your #"
sassy.

reading rainbow

I am pretty sad that Reading Rainbow has ended. Other than the fact that I had ABOSLUTELY NO IDEA IT WAS STILL ON THE AIR. Really?!? I think of it as being such a 80s/90s thing. Anyway the last episode aired recently. Sadface. Did anyone else ever see the episode where LeVar was in a hot tub...in the trunk of a white stretch limo?!? That always stuck with me. A hot tub in a car. LeVar sittin there with a rubber ducky. Wow. The height of sophistication as far as my childhood self was concerned. In fact I still think that's pretty neat.

ooooh my goooood...

Birthday Surprise with Kristen Wiig. Gotta love er.
