Woah… connections!

So I have been listening to a lot of Nina Simone. And I noticed that the beginning of this song, sounded mighty familiar.

(Also I like the typography stuff they did there.)

Well the reason it sounds so familiar is because “Feeling Good” is also used at the beginning of “New Day” on Jay-Z and Kanye’s album, Watch the Throne.

Connected!

A Sad Truth

A sad and poignant point brought up by aerie, the teen underwear store.

If you didn’t notice it says, “Pretty doesn’t last forever…” Which can be translated to, “Your ass and face will never be as tight as they are now.. so buy our small clothing while you still can…”

I just assumed

I just assumed that Water for Elephants was about the elephant man.

Apparently I was wrong.

Weeka, weeka, Weekend!

It’s the weekend, but since I got off work Wednesday, life is a weekend! Hoping to spend my last week at home enjoying the beach and the nature and the books.

Some links of the past week. Get ready they’re really good:

Despite the 2 foot separation between them, Shaq and his girlfriend Hoopz still love each other.

Explaining how to actually wear a bandeau. Ps. this is the most blatant pr/seo article I have ever read.

Oh, Arrested Development Hipster Quote Tumblr.. you are so funny.

A mission few could endure, 365 days of the movie Julie and Julia: The Lawrence and Julie and Julia Project.

I want to make this. All I need is an attention span and all of the materials.

Pretty gift bags.

I want this classy, tiny trailer.

In retrospect, all these links seem just okay. Sorry.

Weekend of Bagpipers

This weekend, I will be watching the parade that goes in front of my house every year. Hello bagpipers!

Tiny giraffe’s that are adorable, but not real and actually an ad campaign.

If hipsters could eat cookies, they would eat these cookies.

Really cool video.

More and more balloons. But these ones are of the hot air persuasion.

Peeing while in a romper, the step-by-step  instructions everyone needs.

Great house, with great colors, and everything in it is great.

I like birds and I like mobiles. Meet the birdmobile.

Floral lettering because regular fonts are stupid.

Meeting of the minds: Michael Cera and the Jersey Shore cast.

Hope your weekend is full of bagpipers and other fun things.

My, My Mavis

As a kid I would attempt to play computer games, but I found them very stressful. My brother was always playing action games: Doom, Diablo, and other games that I can’t remember the names of. I loved watching, but whenever  I would attempt to play I would freeze up. It was too much pressure.

So instead I stole my mom’s “game” Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. It was awesome. The concept was simple: press buttons and get praise. And there was no pressure. If I did poorly, Mavis broke it to me nicely. She is sweet like that.

So now I am all grown up and I want to show Mavis Beacon how fast I can type with accuracy. So, I am downloading a free trial. Do you also want to make Mavis proud? Download Mavis Beacon for mac or for PC.

Here is the original picture that made me crave the support and attention of Mavis. It’s by Adam Lisagor, check it out here.
