Show & Tell: Sept 03/10
I am so ready for the long weekend! It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over and I feel like it flew by. It was a great summer and I’m ready for Fall and the motivation that comes with the back to school energy. I’m trying to sort out my finances so I can afford to go back to school and complete my PR Certificate, but transfering to a university course is double the cost of college. Not sure if I’ll be able to start in September like I wanted to but I’ve still got a week til the deadline.
- September horoscopes are up on Susan Miller’s site. As a Capricorn this has been a year of change and I’m ready for the new challenges and opportunities that are coming my way. I’ve also been reading the AstroTwins site for horoscopes and you should check out their daily & monthly horoscopes as well.
- “Do You Want To Be A Mermaid Or A Whale?” was on a poster advertising a gym in Australia. Gala posted a letter from a middle-aged woman, who responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.
- I read “What Do You Call Yourself?” this week and it really got me thinking. I’ve definitely outgrown the title on my business cards and am evolving my current business/career, so what do I call myself? I’ll let you know when I figure it out!
- I’m a Twilight fan, as you probably already know, and I realize that it is a little ridiculous. This review of the book on GoodReads by Brian is hilarious and a must-read, especially if you can’t stand the whole thing.
- Regretsy is a pretty funny site. It’s amazing the crap people try to sell. These are the most ridiculous things I’ve seen in a long time What! and mrmph
- These treehouses are so cool and I wish I had one. It would be so neat to have a tree house for a cottage or vacation spot.
- These photographs by Caleb Charland are amazing.
“Caleb Charland demonstrates lessons in physics and mathematics with his mind-blowing photography. Inspired by children’s books of science experiments, he photographs everyday objects (like matches, pens and mirrors) in ways we’ve never imagined, often using multiple exposures to tell the story. For example, in Fifteen Hours, the last photo in this set, Charland used 15 exposures to show how the flame of a dinner candle beautifully burns down.” - Some really interesting Gifts for the Geek Home. I can totally see a Twitter pillow in Casie’s house
- Tonight my friend Lyall Brownlee has a show at The Cannery Art Center in Peterborough and it is the opening of his “Coping Mechanisms” series. If you’re in town you should check it out.
- ModCloth has a new bag on their site called Mend, it is a classic army green messenger back that was handmade in Uganda by MEND : a subdivision of Invisible Children that trains women who were former abducted child soldiers to be seamstresses, thus providing them with employment, and enabling them to support themselves and their families. I have been looking for a good messenger bag all summer and am going to save up for this one. It’s a little pricey at $85 but supporting this cause is worth it.
- I love this girl’s tattoos.
- My friend Carri shared this video with us last night. I can’t believe a dog can stand on his hind legs this long!
