Dannon and I will be heading up to the Russian River tomorrow to experience some much needed Summer with some friends! Hope everyone has their own summer fun this weekend! {photo found here }

Now THIS is the way to celebrate a wedding! This left me feeling their joy and sharing it, and like most weddings, it brought tears to my eyes. Seriously, it did. Yes, I know I'm a little strange. Thanks to Reenie for sending me this in an email. I LOVED it!!

I discovered The Uniform Project through Rockstar Diaries a couple weeks ago and now I'm hooked. The idea is to promote sustainable fashion through the use of a daily uniform. She has 7 of the same dress which she will wear every day for an entire year, and she makes her outfits look completely unique with different accessories. I'm amazed at how creative she is with each day's outfit! I'm so inspired to do more with less! {Time to clean out the ole overstuffed closet...} This project is also a fundraiser to buy school uniforms and other supplies for kids living in the slums of India. It's a great cause so go check it out!

When it is closing time at the library, part of my job is to walk all around the library and make sure that everyone is out of the building before we leave to go home. Included in that sweep of the building, we are to check the restrooms, both the men's and the women's, to make sure they are empty. When I check the restrooms, I always knock on the door first before entering. Rarely is there anyone in there, but we are still to check for stowaways. Not too long ago, I knocked on the men's room door and waited for an answer. There was no answer, so I opened the door and went on in. Unfortunately, there was a gentleman standing at the urinal when I entered. OOOOPS! I don't know why he didn't speak up when I knocked! So this week, I was making the rounds as usual. I knocked on the men's room door and waited for an answer. There was no answer, so I cautiously opened the door. Then I heard a sort of yelp and somebody yelled "HEY!" However, the yel...

In my search for Hudsucker Proxy images (I watched it via Netflix online, so I couldn't take screenshots), I came across this designer who redesigned some DVD cases for some of the best Coen films. Holy shitballs are these awesome! And what really stings is that these were a student project! Gah makes my work look even worse! You can check out Andrew O. Ellis' work on his site at andyrama.net

No 101 - Raising Arizona Directors - Joel and Ethan Coen I'm so very sorry. I saw this film AGES ago - like over a week ago. But then I got super busy with work and then I got raucous at Secret Garden Party . There hasn't been a blog. I'm ashamed... Allow me to attempt to rectify, but please be aware that this will be quite rough and ready now as the ravages of time (and Magners ) have taken their hold. The first thing this film reminded me of is that Nick Cage is brilliant. I know that I should be aware of this - he is great in Con Air... and Adaptation.... and I love him in Face/Off even if he is ridiculous. But recently, he has been letting his hair do most of the acting and appearing in some preposterous nonsense with AWFUL tag lines . So it is nice to be reminded of his skills. The Coens are very good at creating 'Noble' Ne'er Do Wells. People who we relate to - despite them being bad ' uns or corrupt in some way. Nicolas Cage's Hi is the perfe...

I can't remember how I discovered Katie Herzig , but I've been a fan for a little while now. Her music is a nice mixture of sweet and silly. I put some of my favorites on the mixtape below. Have a little listen and I hope you enjoy!
