Away We Go

I had the pleasure of watching this hilarious, sweet, and touching movie last night, and I have to recommend it wholeheartedly. I love John Krasinski, and his adorableness is doubled by the scruffy beard and thick-rimmed glasses. I used to love Maya Rudolph on SNL, and it was interesting to see her in slightly more serious role. Plus there's a whole host of great, hilarious cameos: Jeff Daniels and the always wonderful Catherine O'Hara as Burt's parents, Allison Janney playing a hilariously loud and obnoxious friend with Jim Gaffigan as her husband, and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Burt's hippy-dippy cousin. I was laughing out loud for large chunks of it, but also appreciated the sweeter romantic moments. All in all...a fab movie!

Gwon Osang

Check out this guy.
He makes sculptures by photographing his subjects hundreds of times and putting the photos together into hauntingly off-kilter 3D objects.

Saltwater Room

This song was stuck in my head this morning.
Owl City is a current obsession, thanks to Mack. My favorite song of theirs is probably Super Honeymoon, though I also like On the Wing and Hot Air Balloons. If you like the Postal Service, you'll like Owl City.

Bosch tchotchkes

Pretty great. Based on the imagery of Hieronmyus Bosch, a Renaissance painter often seen as a forerunner of Surrealism. On Amazon.
