I'm Smitten

I crave more from the people at I'm Smitten. The cards, shirts, and prints they are selling from their website are not enough.  I want more and I want it now...maybe they will read it and whip me up something in my honor...say a Shiny Squirrel head?!?

I would wear it everywhere.

RockScissorPaper

Little mod animals from Rock Scissor Paper. The heat is making me utterly exhausted, I went through a few of the MANY boxes of paper and art supplies this evening. I am trying to desperately condense everything into ONE box for the move. I found some amazing things today for FREE from the same garage sale that I got the previously wonderful chairs. However I found two things that were EVEN BETTER! These will follow tomorrow...

Monday morning..

Picture_075There is something old and crusty about my muffin this morning. Did they recycle from last week? It kind of feels like I got the leftovers from Friday.

I created this shadowbox last night while watching the ending of the horrible Sideways. It took me forever to get to the end. Although I am glad I finished it because I wanted to see what all the hoopla was about, I came to the conclusion that this movie should have neverPicture_076 been made.  I did not hate it as much as About Schmidt, which I feel is an intolerable movie, but really this Sideways was painful!

Thomas Haden Church was just a dick the whole film and the only time you remotely even liked him was when he broke down and started crying. At that point I didn't think he was so much of a bastard for cheating on his finance or fucking over Sandra Oh. I wanted to really like the characters and not just feel sorry for them because they were pathetic. This was very hard to do.....I definitely do not recommend this movie.

I took out the The Stranger from the library as well as 8 1/2, I am a huge Fellini fan, but sadly have never seen this movie. I am going to try and watch it this week. Since I have seen Stardust Memories by Woody Allen I have been told  I have to watch this movie because Allen's movie is an omage to Fellini.

The Stranger is an Orson Welles film, although I am not a huge fan of his work, I think he is an extremely important film maker so obviously I must see his movies. I did watch F is for Fake about two months ago and fell asleep through most of it, it was Welles towards the end of his career when he seemed more like a theatrical actor opposed to a serious one.
