Quite A Lady.


I never got to meet my grandmother, but I keep this photograph of her, taken when she was a little younger than me I think, on my wall above my desk to remind me all the great things she did and all the potential great things I can do. She was the original creative lady of the family; I also keep this drawing she did near my desk. Wouldn't that make a beautiful dress, even now, probably at least 60 or so years after she designed it?

Disturbing Genius

Scanned from New York Magazine

Edward Scissorhands was one of the first movies I can remember I considered being my favorite (a stark contrast to the other favorites of Cinderella and The Little Mermaid). From Frankenweenie to Batman to Beetlejuice, I love how his love of the grotesque and absurd and weird never wavers. Not only that, but the fact that he can get his ideas into widely-released films. The exhibit of his work is still going on at the MOMA in New York until April and it looks AMAZING! The exhibit website is pretty cool too....check it out!

I love having the jitters.

Very interesting that all coffee is not created equal, especially when comparing sizes as well.

Oh Ducky.

Walking through the Loop in the fall always makes me feel like I'm in a John Hughes movie.
