Vintage Mint

Lovely artwork by Mike Mills. {Wonderful colors, lines, and composition.} I would love to have one of these pieces framed on my wall. Until then, you can purchase a book of these from Nieves.

“Take Shelter”

I’m pretty out of the hipster-loop, being the 8-5 penny pusher, no-longer 21 years-old self that I am. So I’m probably 2 years late for just now stumbling upon uber-talented vioalist + singer, Anni Rossi’s music. And wow {!} –  girl is talented. {It’s so refreshing to see a vocalist using a viola as the instrument-of-choice. But I’m partial to the viola: I’ve played it from 3rd grade through the end of high school; and the viola’s mid-tone sounds are often overlooked and never quite gets the same musical attention as say, the violin or cello. And yes, the viola is different than the violin.} Seeing this makes me want to play again…

Can’t remember where I first saw this little Flash app, but it’s addicting. {Kind of like Line Rider}. You can make your own little Picasso-esque art using the provided shape and line templates and modifying the size, and color. It’s so easy you can’t go wrong {who could tell anyway? It’s Picasso, not Escher}!

Don’t forget to vote today, fellow Americans! {With all the news forecasting astronomical voting lines, Husband + I decided it would be best to beat the crowds, so we voted early and turned in our ballots last Thursday. Phew!}

F-i-n-a-l-l-y! I’ve been waiting + waiting for the new season of 30 Rock to start, and tonight is the first new episode! {Although, technically this was on hulu as of last week.} I’m elated that my Thursday comedy nights are now complete!

Yes for the weekend! {I’m excited that the leaves are finally starting to change colors…}

Just puttering around Flickr and found these vintage Hallowe’en postcards, some were cute, some a little creepy. More original and less commercial than today’s variation. Kind of funny to think that people sent post/cards for Halloween, or at least it doesn’t seem as prevalent today.

Keeping with the Halloween-themed month, have a Poe-fect weekend! {I’m not this funny in real life.}

Oh!! I cannot wait to see this movie! {Absolutely love the cinematography, costume + set designs, and the story is very…curious.} I’m liking what I’ve seen so far in the latest theatrical trailer:
