Random things I'm into at the moment
- Loose tea! My mother picked up this tea cup for me on a trip and I finally got some proper loose tea from local tea maker, "Just add honey" to drink with it... and its fantastic! I'm so glad my friend Emma recommended this tea company to me - it makes the perfect chai lattes.
- Artist Shintaro Ohata in Giant Robot - I thumbed through this issue a bit... I really want to go back and pick it up the issue so I can actually read the articles. Shintaro Ohata's artwork is beautiful!
- Cartoon Network Groovies - does anyone remember these? They were so cool back in the day and would come on in between commercials on CN... here are some of my favs: Josie & The Pussycats in several different musical styles, "Signal in the Sky" (for Powerpuff Girls) by The Apples in Stereo, and Devo's song, "Go monkey go!" for Powerpuff girls:
- Kevin Tong's Sex Bob-Omb poster - I picked up a $20 metallic version right before they sold out! I can't wait for it to arrive in the mail. I want to put it next to my mini signed Scott Pilgrim movie poster!
- Giant hair flowers, 1920's hair styles, messy curls and what not. I'm making a ton of hair clips right now inspired by all of this and I can't wait to share it!
- Beeswax Aromatherapy Tins - specifically the "Enlightenmint" scent! I swear it does something to my brain and helps me focus while working.
- Planning trips to LA and getting ready for my friend Kelly to visit from Minneapolis - exciting!! I finally used my skymiles today and my ticket to LA only cost $5.00 - how awesome is that?! And Kelly will be staying with me during some great events - so I'm sure we will have all kinds of fun adventures. I can't wait! More on that later.
- All these room photos. Gorgeous - please come decorate a room in my house!
- OPI's nail polish, "Catch me in your net" - my friend Emma gave this to me the other day and its SO gorgeous!! Teals, blues, and greens with a little bit of glitter... and best part is it will change color slowly from my hair dying it - so it starts to take a on a purpley navy shade! Adore it.
- Going on Tasty restaurant adventures with Chris! We have been using a lot of coupons from ScoutMob recently which has led to us eating outside of our regular spots. I've had a lot of fun trying new places!! Also trying a new beer with Chris last weekend - it was so cute!
- My wonderful Scott Pilgrim friends. They have made all these parties a blast to work on!
- BJÖRK! I have been on a major Björk kick all week long. Listening to her music, checking up on her work with the upcoming Moomin movie (adorable video of her with Moomin and her kids), and watching old interviews. I looove this interview of her with Chris Evans in 1996. (I'd embed it, but it is disabled!) She sings a great live version of "I miss you" at the end of it too <3
- Annnnd this video on wearing what you want and being yourself. This lady is inspiring:
Music
- "Teenage Dream" - Katy Perry
- "Oh No!", "Hollywood" and "Are you satisfied?" - Marina & The Diamonds
- "Ramona" and "Threshold"- Beck (the Threshold link is kinda not great, so go buy the song and have a listen!)
- "Honey" - Hole
- "Boyfriend" - Best Coast
- This song:
Heypenny - "CopCar" from Paper Beats Rock on Vimeo.
