Spring Is Here &...

Spring is officially here and I pretty much want everyone to look like this now. I know. I know. I never shut up about Christopher Bailey for Burberry Prorsum but get real with this collection. I've got the pale thing working for me but I just don't know how to get this thin without breaking the law. The plaid lining in the blazer towards the bottom... I'd take take a bullet for that tartan.

Ha-Ha-Hernia...



Thought this was a coincidental picture to stumble upon as I wrote "DVD Hernia... Gird Em'!" on a freshly packed box. Moving sucks... prepared or not.

The Presets...

So despite being at work late Maren and I busted it to see The Presets last saturday. After a stressful traffic experience we made it to the front of the stage during the third song into their set thanks to Jory and Jo saving some dance space. I was so excited when I heard they were coming back because it was one of the best live shows I saw last year. Despite their sound being too much for any small scale Salt Lake venue to handle (the sound blew twice) they were nothing short of amazing. You are so gross and then you just keep dancing because you are powerless. Here is the new video to "If I Know You." Strange and intriguing. Despite my hate of heat, if Diet Coke and Beef Jerky were involved, I would totally be down for a summer night bonfire dance party. Enjoy.

Je Suis Pathetique...

I don't even deserve to have a blog. I am awful at posting and it isn't even hard. I swear I went to Belgium and have some good photos. Not to mention, my life has been pretty wonderful as of late. Busy but wonderful. So here is a smattering of photos with one specifically for Sarah since she made a direct comment about the yarn I was spinning.

Belgium?....YES!

So my sister and i got wild and are going to Belgium. I don't even know what to expect except amazement and inspiration at every turn. I have so many Belgians that I follow, adore and admire but I chose to put this little photo of Rene Magritte (one of my very favorite artists). I can't believe a month has slipped by without me posting anything. Here is to travel! If for nothing else it will make good blogging material. Oh, and dear Dries and Ann, your fall 2009 shows in Paris were amazing yesterday. I am coming to see your stores in Antwerp. Do you need someone to run errands for you? I would work for scraps. Love, Dirk.

Chills on the Dancefloor...

The really great thing about knowing someone with great music taste who gets jury duty is that they start to post a lot of stuff to your facebook page. Apparently the selection process is very boring but I was the recipient of some visual gems. 2 minutes and 48 seconds into this video I bust. So simple and beautiful. Also, her shoes are too good.

The band Keith is genius. This video kills me. But as I watched it something occured to me. It had a unique pace and angle that seemed familiar and then I read that it was directed by China Moo-Young. Did a little research off of a hunch and she had directed a short I saw at Sundance that has stuck with me for years. Just a quick but emotional story about a rather cool single dad who is struggling with his daughter getting older. Here is the preview for Juvenile. I really hope she is working on a full length feature because I want more!
