Best Coast


This music really makes me crave the beach. And california in the late 60s, with a dash of noise. Would you call it "noise pop"? I would. With the perfect amount of whine.

Some videos:


Best Coast- Make You Mine




Best Coast- When I'm With You





Best Coast- The Sun Was High (So Was I)

Tim Burton

I went to the Museum of Modern Art yesterday to see the Tim Burton show. I had heard tons of negative reviews on it and absolutely nothing positive. When I stepped in I was immediately surprised that someone could find it atrocious enough to recommend me not to see it. Honestly, the man has the most obscure imagination I’ve ever seen put on paper. He’s created worlds upon worlds of monsters, characters, gosh, everything. His simple, mostly 9x11 drawings on white paper are hung on the walls clustered into groups. He sometimes writes a caption on the drawing briefly explaining, in his oh-so-glib way, what is going on in the piece. I had a huge grin on my face the whole time, and often laughed out loud at how relatable his monsters and odd characters really are. He hones in on the “awkward” of life... the completely unbearable moments that are so necessary for growth. All in all, I left the place dazzled by my glimpse into the mind of a person who thinks so radically differently than I do. And that’s what I call a successful exhibition.

Here are some samples!









His couples are amazing.



















P.S. At the exhibit, they also had the demon barber's blades/knives from Sweeney Todd. SO cool.

Green Feature

Green Living Tips is an awesome website that is dedicated to helping people clean up their lives in order to reduce their personal environmental impact. Another similar site is Green Hands USA (previously RiverWired) which focuses more on volunteering and hands-on work.

GLT posted a lovely article this morning on organic cotton. In my preoccupied mind, organic cotton means many things. Linens, shoes, YARN. But mostly, t-shirts. Feast your eyes on these oh-so-necessary basics!



I love the green contrast in this one.

Duluth Pack


I've had my eye on this adorable little sack for about a month and three days. It's a bit too skinny to fit any of the 20 (you heard right) books I had to buy this semester. Next Fall's fun purchase? Most likely.
