Things I love Sundays - January 4

This video makes me want to go into animation as a career.

LITERARY TATTOOS: There is something about having a quote from your favorite book typed across your skin that just makes me smile. Maybe "birds. birds ate my face." (Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters) or a semi-colon on my wrist.

NEW MUSIC: I got an iTunes gift card for a birthday present and found Papercuts, a neo-hippie band that I now adore, and the Feathers song "Old Black Hat With a Dandelion Flower". On my iPod, I found Caribou's "Hello Hammerheads" and Rock City's Obama version of "Paper Planes".

JANOWRIMO: 50K words in a month. Stories about road trips and love and dogs pissing out windows. It's good fun and keeps me focused on writing every day.

MIRROR'S EDGE: The EA Games new video game, Mirror's Edge, completely blows me away. The graphics, the heart-exploding pace, the running, jumping, leap-of-Faith-ing. Amazing. I could play it forever.

DISNEY RETRO PINUPS: By Amy Mebberson.


BRAILLE "TATTOOS": They are "implants creating embossed text in braille placed under skin, can be read by touch / stroke by blind people." Really cool stuff on that website, if you search around. 

juno - juno - juno

i think that it's just about time to do a post about the movie "juno". obviously, the movie is entirely founded on clever dialouge ("that ain't no etch-a-sketch; this is one doodle that can't be undid, homeskillet.", "i figured you could never have enough of your favorite one-calorie breath mint.", etc.) and witty, random characters, but is overall a fucking awesome movie. this is my favorite scene and i think it gives you a pretty much solid look at what "juno"'s all about:

also, the soundtrack is a fantastic array of indie-rock. it's awesome. 

boycott - israel - video

again, sorry for the hiatus. i've been working my ass off to get ready for school (which starts in exactly a week!). anyways, i received this video from my good friend bonnie and found it funny and extremely depressing at the same time. enjoy.
