how one is built.

Okay. So confession. Or not really even. I really like the movie Jerry Maguire. Yes it's cheesy and like, man Ellen, you have no taste, but there's something about it that completely kills me, especially one scene, which I wrote out above (you can read all of the key Jerry Maguire quotes here, the one that I wrote out is like the 2nd last one). I just love the characters, Cuba Gooding Jr. and his whole pursuit of "the kwan" and there are some things that are said in the movie that I completely take to heart! AND YOU SHOULD TOO! Or not. Free will!

I also really enjoy a song from the movie as well, "Secret Garden" by Bruce Springsteen, you don't have to watch the video (in fact I recommend that you don't cause it kills the good movie that is Jerry Maguire), just listen to it. Every time I do it really reminds me of junior high and sitting around and watching movies like this and guiltily/surprisingly (and thus indulgently) really enjoying it and almost saying/thinking, like screw anything that's "cool" this "terrible" movie rules and there's nothing no one can do to change that.

Back to a place where we know we are loved.

This illustration was inspired by this:

The season finale of season 1 of Mad Men, The Wheel. Everything that was said to sell the idea to the client was just so achingly true and things that you know but were never really able to put in such a clear and eloquent way. What was said just resonated with me and nagged at me and I put it to paper.

Images from various tumblrs listed below.

I have a few more tumblrs that I've discovered lately that you guys might like as well (some of them share the same images, but they're all still really great):

Weird Fish
(Un)solved Mysteries
We're All Scattered
Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes
Delay...Procrasinate

The other day I was in Future shop buying new earphones and I impulsively bought Season 1 of Pushing Daisies. I don't really know much about it and I had only really bought it because I had seen this image on someone's tumblr:

And that was more than enough for me, but then I realized I could have just gotten it from the library for free. Then I went into this whole sort of dumb dilemma of well, it's nice to own things, but it's also nice to have stuff for free, and la la la, and I don't even know why I am really going into it here, but in the end I put a hold on this series at the library along with a billion other things because I think I am in a very consumptive mood. So yeah if anyone has any mussiiiiccc or books or anything I should watch and see, tell me!

(please!)

TUMBLR

from lavender lines

from You Are a Little Bit Happier Than I am

I really like these Tumblrs:
Lavender Lines: She always posts really good pictures of guys that I find really attractive (ah-ha-ha) and of other nice things as well.
You Are a Little Bit Happier Than I am : The photos on here are just absolutely beautiful and so great.

And I really like this:

The part when he talks about Dumbo just kills me.

ABSOLUTELY!

Brief Summation

Calgary 2008/09:










dogs need to hug pillows too.






homemade baked doughnuts. Of which my mom did the most work. They taste more bread like than cake-y.




























I really like what this girl, Hannah, did: The Rulebook for my Unborn Daughter, which was inspired by 1001 Rules For my Unborn Son, which I also enjoyed. One I like: Rule #293-Don't shout out requests at rock shows.

Olly Moss and Charlotte X.C. Sullivan

from Olly Moss

I really enjoy the work of this guy, a what a wonderful name too, Olly Moss. What I really loved about these posters is that they explain the plot of the movie elegantly and clearly and through few visual elements.

And I really like the work of this girl, Charlotte X.C. Sullivan:








Bubble Drawings: 'Ink mixed with soapy water. Bubbles dry on paper. Opposites attract.'

Superbowl Drawings: 'Gesture drawings made while watching the Superbowl on TV.'

Some things


451 Degrees: 'Book baked at 451 Degrees in the oven. Page opened to 137.'

Such simple ideas that lead to interesting and complex outcomes.

Almost New Year!

#2

these people (vivien weyrauch and fabian röttger at a nice idea every day) are enjoyable:


3D
'still lifes in the style of colour-shifted 3-dimensional images.'


Magic Hands
'for this work we went to a DIY-store, bought some plexiglass-plates and had fun arranging different elements on it. the pictures were taken from below with the camera lying on the ground.'


On Fire
'we took colour gels that are normally used for lighting in films and tagged them on an old t-shirt creating a coloured shadow.'
