I heard this a long time ago from a dear friend. I agree with him and Elenor .

thanks Ziggie Stardust!

You gave us such a show and turns out a fantastic son as well. Duncan Jones, son of David Bowie has made, what looks like a sci-fi that I would actually like to see. Film is called Moon and looks pretty damn cool.

love stories on film are like cupcakes in my little wanting hands

Real love stories happen when there are no soundtracks, stylists, cinematographers, directors, writers, or producers. Love stories on screen of course have this luxury, so when Garden State came out, I thought... hmmm shit hot lady, cute and funny boy + soundtrack that hit every song that I was digging at that current moment = pure joy. However, much like cupcakes the joy inevitably dissipates and one is left wanting more sugary goodness. I would run out and buy the soundtrack for 500 Days of Summer, 2009's answer to the optimistic Garden State of 2004...but I already own most of the tracks, weather given to me by loved ones or happened upon, many are the soundtrack of my morning ride to work. I am happy that it has happened again, and I am sure I will love 500 Days of Summer when I see it, then of course crave more sugary goodness.... NY Times writeup describes the film as "a winsome, accessible movie about more-or-less recognizable young people navigating the murky waters of...

Very cute illustration. I do not have a dog, but I do have an alarm clock that barks....good enough for now.

Inhae, an artist out of Berkley is too adorable. These little tooths 'ickle and lardee' go on many adventures and make me want to keep extra good care of my own pearly whites. Her site is simple and funny to scroll through on a glum day - guaranteed to make your teeth come out and play.

This work done by Kai & Sunny is effing fantastic. It is subtle and makes me think of a lily pond filled with gold. Prints available at this site .

balloon eclipse

Image
Since I am not in Asia to see the fancy solar eclipse, I created my own with my yellow buddy. Sadly the sun has not made an appearance yet today, so I will think back to Mama duck and her wee one, as well as a family that paddled by me yesterday while I lounged in the afternoon sun.

my yellow ballon

Image
The sun was playing hide and seek with me yesterday. I grabbed this huge yellow balloon whilst strolling along my new favorite street in Copenhagen - Værnedamsvej. It is lined with flower shops, butchers, a french import shop and a wine store that is really beautiful and of course Granola, a cafe that makes the most amazing goat cheese salad and has chocolate tea - seriously also a new favorite. I picked up a variety of goods there the past few days on vacation in the hagen. Since bank account said no, I am using my vacation time to explore the city I live in. It has been a great experience and I hope for some more sun so I can continue strolling around exploring. This yellow balloon was so cute, and had me laughing all the way up to the park I was biking to. I thought that tying it to my bike would be perfect....not so much. The wind was insane yesterday and it kept hitting me in the head repeatedly. It was like a petulant 4 year old and I could not get angry at this inanimate object ...

iPhone stolen

Image
Sadly I had my iPhone taken this week while having dinner. I love apple, however I am getting very sad to learn that buying a replacement phone is not possible - I mean 'cmon peeps..help a lady out! If anyone reads this and can help me find a way to not spend a crazy amount of cash to buy an unlocked phone, I will send you cookies and thank you notes for a year.

It was very VERY hot last weekend, so jumping in the fountain was the most sensible and thing to do. My skin felt so nice after the little dip.

Copenhagen nights...

I spent the other evening sipping tea and sitting still. These were my surroundings....

It is very VERY sunny and warm today. I wish it could be like this everyday, for a few hours. Then I could wear such awesome dresses like these. So pretty.
