Nylon Magazine May Issue

Check out the new issue of Nylon Magazine. Not for the Lindsay Lohan cover article cause that's just strange. But for the 21 stars of tomorrow article. I recognized about 4 of the people so it's pretty sweet. Not like your normal "new young stars" article when you know all of the people but one. Definately worth the 4 dollar cover price.

Some new stuff

(based on a photo of my sister)

(just some silliness with some chickens i found at harry and david)

Now this is the funniest thing i've ever seen

Thanks Laura!

We Need Girlfriends

This is a cute little webshow I found the other day. Pretty darn good for internet television!

SNL Digital Short: Body Fusion

One of the funniest things I've probably seen on SNL in probably 5 or so years.

Grindhouse Fake Trailers Documentary

Though short this documentary gives some great insight and behind the scenes looks at the fake trailers of grindhouse.

umm what!?!? part two

apparently happenstance prefered the picture of audrey tautou from another one of her movies, venus beauty institute for their american release. that is really strange...

Colorful Rainbow of Shoes

I just had to share the wonderful colors of this spring's shoes. Beautiful! Go get yourself some! Celebrate the season! Celebrate the polka dots!

Found Magazine

I'm not sure that anyone actually looks at this anymore so this is a test i suppose... are you reading this. As some of you know I've recently been reading my way through the Found books and magazines. Picked up 3 issues of the magazine this week. Though there is some overlap between the books and the magazines most of the content is not repeated. I would definately suggest checking out their website. Basically it's a collection of things that people find on the ground or in the trash that provide a tidbit of information about the person that wrote it. It's pretty fascinating if you ask me. Take a look.

umm what?!

Back in the dorms

I'm back in the dorms for my final semester at school. It turned out to be the easiest solution. I really enjoyed that whole living on your own thing we did while in the apartment but I guess all good things must come to an end. I do feel rather old here seeing as some of my floormates are still undecided and my hall director is my age.

On the plus side I have a nice view of the dumpster, totally a joke. Truthfully though, I am much closer to some friends now than I was last year so that will be fun.

How are your own living arrangements for this year?

www.librarything.com

I just joined librarything.com where you can catalog your books, write reviews, rate the books, join groups, and even see who has the most books in common with you. It is free up to 200 books. My sidebar is also provided by the site. Up there I have some of the stuff I've read in this past year. Don't actually own all of them. So if you're a reader like me this is a nice site for you!

One more thing

Not Pictures this time

Ok ok I guess you don't just want to see pictures???

Well what do i have to say? Yesterday I finished up putting around 300 pins and connecting them with string in a paper mache globe. I took 190 pictures of glassware. Today I started making my very first canvas boy does that eat up a day. I'm in the process of starting to design two wine labels.

Try Izze sparkling juice. The cans are so beautiful and it tastes good as well. Watch Desperate Housewives, it's funny. Start a book club, we haven't even picked our first book and it's rather exciting. Listen to Head Automatic "Beating Heart Baby." Haven't stopped listening to that song since the summer.

I actually had alittle time over the break to watch some movies:

A lot Like Love- so so. It had it's funny moments.

Kung Fu Hustle- dumber than I thought it would be, probably don't watch.

Maria Full of Grace- pretty interesting and predictiable.

Dear Frankie- really sweet. I'd suggest this one. It's about a deaf boy who's mother authors letters from "his father" who's supposed to be out at sea. One day the boy finds out his father's boat is coming to shore and his mother hires a stranger to be a dad for the day...

More Photography

The assignment was to photograph something that was larger than a fridge but smaller than a boxcar... so i picked a shed. haha. not my best but the weather was not on my side.

Do you want to buy it??

Since this is product photography i'm supposed to make the pieces look great. I think they look pretty good. What do you think?? Haha. Do you want to purchase my cheap jewelry??

My Emily

This is a diptych I did of Emily. I had about 2 weeks to work on it and I was in everyday. This is by far the busiest I've been here at school. No time to talk to anyone.... so if I haven't talked to you, you know why.

Actually no time to write either..... I'm leaving for the Walker in an hour and a half and I have to take a bunch of pictures first..... so I'm out of the library and off to my favorite blue shed to photograph it.

Product Photography ...well not actually

Here's some pictures from my technical assignments. We are going to get into the actual product photography now....

Eshh

I'm back on another loaner. Let's just say this has been an interesting first month of school!

In my honors technology class my group is looking into online communities, pros/cons, personal stories what have you. We are considering blogging as a sort of online community so anyone with anything to add to our research would surely be loved by my group!
