I still don't know what I was waiting for, and my time was running wild

I am such a neglectful blog-parent. I keep finding so much inspiration, but I don't have time to even do the stuff I have to do! Story of everyone's lives, eh?

Well...





























Maybe, just maybe...


Today I was thinking about how much I love peanut butter. I was surprised to discover George Washington Carver didn't actually invent it, but he did put peanuts in like a billion other things and improve lives. You da man, GWC!

So I found some peanut-butter related stuff:























How adorably silly. PB&J necklace.


Who thought this crap was a good idea?

I'd like to meet the guy who greenlighted that one and give him a stern talking-to.


I also realized how often people use the phrase "goes together like peanut butter and jelly." Now, if I ever hear someone say that, I think I might have to punch them square in the jaw.



Next up, I really dig this room:


















I often find myself torn between whether I like dark spaces or bright spaces more, but this has a lot of natural light and a LOT of wood, which we know I am in favor of.

That may be why I also like this one:



















The colors are a little monotonous for my taste, but I see what they did thar.

And I've seen this room on nearly every blog I read. Probably because it's GENIUS!
















I promise, some place I live in will be modeled after this room.

Lastly, this is just hilarious:

Celebrity Tweets, Illustrated!
















































That's all for today, yo! Have a good one!

Ooh, girl!

Loved that sweet, sweet typography ever since I saw it over on friends of type.

More tomorrow, friends!

Baby, baby, I've been discernin'-a

We just had a TORNADO WARNING! Yes, folks. A funnel cloud was startin' somethin' somewhere around here. I have to say I saw it coming. The sky looked a foul shade of vomit and darkness a bit before we heard the sirens.

One good thing that came out of the experience was that I happened across this Etsy gem.



















Don't worry. It's only TWO-THOUSAND DOLLARS. And I totally submitted it to my favorite site, Regretsy. I hope it makes it onto the site!



This isn't really art-related, but this Tumblr, Lesbians who look like Justin Bieber (and also other folks who just happen to look like him too), has been CRACKING me up.

Pahahahahaha!


































That one is quite the gem. Now let me clarify: I only recently gave enough of a shit to even discover who this kid was, and I have repeatedly made the mistake of listening to several of his songs on Youtube. Each and every time I feel dirty, not because I'm attracted to him, but because I feel like I'm supposed to be and there is a TWELVE-YEAR-OLD CHILD on screen acting like he's some clown down the street at Rick's bar, smarming it up for the ladies. Disturbing much?

I mean, WHO IS THIS KID??


































Pull up your pants, son.


I really dig these sunglasses I saw on Rubio's tumblr.






























I like a lot of stuff from Opening Ceremony, actually. Namely this jumper:






























and this dude's hoodie:



































Well, that's all for today folks. It's a weird day.

(I'm curious if my blog will get more hits now that I've mentioned JUSTIN BIEBER JUSTIN BIEBER JUSTIN BIEBER!

Art + Sound (and more!)

Howdy!

I had a GREAT Friday and a decent rest-of-the-weekend. How about you? I hope you had a good Easter. Instead of celebrating with family or friends, I saw alone in my apartment and let this eat my soul.

But something interesting is going down on the blog today. In my first entry ever, I mentioned something called "Art + Sound," where I choose something artsy and then find an accompanying song. That was supposed to be a regular thing, but guess what? It happened once. Well, it's about to happen again!

I couldn't decide on just one photo/piece, so I'm making a triptych for you that captures the song (in my mind). Isn't that dandy?

So here's what you do. Fire up this video, but don't pay attention to it. Click the image below and really consider it. Are you seeing what I saw?













I get it. *shrug*

Next up, I really want a copy of this poster:



















I think that would make for an interesting tattoo, personally.

Go on over to Brainstorm and check out their stuff. There is some AWESOME work.

Next, I REALLY like the work of David "Netherland" van Alphen.































































Go see the rest! via share some candy.

That's all for today, kids. Have a good Monday!

We need body rockin' not perfection

Another beautiful day here in EL!

I think this is just too hilarious/cute:































"I cannot love." "Really? Because your mustache says different." MUSTACHES CANNOT TELL A LIE!

I also really dig this:

Via The Selby, because it's just soooo awesome,

If there were a type of eye candy made especially for me, that would be it.


Next up, I am loving some furniture / design I saw over on sfgirlbybay.

Like this chair:

While I'm at it, this room is blowing my mind:

(from vintage-green)

Then there's this 3D wallpaper business. Freak out!





































Check out Hanna Nyman. Very pretty stuff. via sfgirlbybay.


That's all for today! Have a good weekend!

I wanna publish 'zines, and rage against machines

But I'd like to take care of a little business first.

It's the Modish Scarfu Giveaway!!!



















Head on over and leave a comment for a chance to win. You can also blog/tweet about it for an additional entry!

Next up, is this really wallpaper?























If so, WHERE CAN I GET SOME?! via whorange.


I usually dig the images and stuff posted over on Oh Joy! Today's post really caught my eye. I love color, especially in unexpected, trivial-seeming places.























This is reminding me of how excited I was to be in Crate & Barrel when I visited NYC...

















I have a "thing" for bowls. Especially square-ish ones. And ones with pretty patterns!

Anyway, the shop those cute spoons 'n' spatulas were from, Huset, has a TON of other great stuff, too:

Check out this herb stand...



















and this storage jar...
























and these lidded cups and serving tray...
























I also LOVE these coasters...


















It's all pretty reasonably priced, too. Go check out the Huset store!


Ok, this might be one of the coolest ideas for a website/set of photographs I've seen in a while.

One day, when I have my own place, I will own something similar to this. I swear to it. via apartment therapy.

I bet I could throw a KILLER party at this place...
















Is that not a perfect party-deck? also via apartment therapy.


Next up, check out these crazy ribbon stairs. Terrifying, no?




























I'd be trippin' all over the place. via here.


Next up, this video kind of blew my mind. It just keeps getting cooler.
