making things pretty…

and speaking of non-affordable art…

How amazing is this little glass Pulcini bird by Vistosi?

ummm, yep, just what I need… a 40-year-old $2,000 glass bird. Maybe I’ll just start printing out pictures of all this cool, breakable stuff and line a shelf with it. And call it an installation.(heh, I didn’t go to art school for nothin’!)

if you have to ask…

well, you know the rest. I do love this painting by Tom McKinley but I’m fairly certain that I won’t be buying it anytime soon. You know, not if we all want to eat and stuff.

8:30 pm by Tom McKinley, currently on exhibit at the John Bergruen Gallery.

so bizarre…

but it’s an awesome bizarre. It’s like Ronnie Van Zant, Kate Pierson, Joseph Stalin, Amy Winehouse, a healthy dose of Ed Grimley and a little Keebler Elf all rolled into one…

stuffing the ballot box…

Hey, run on over to ohdeedoh’s Now You See It, Now You Don’t Contest and vote for our entry, #10 Hook Salvation. I think you have to be logged in to vote, but this is the children’s arm of the Apartment Therapy empire, so if you’re a member there, you can use that log-in.

I think voting is only open for 24 hours so vote early, vote often (heh) and thanks!

because everyone loves a pop-quiz…

especially on a Monday morning, go take this Logo Quiz and report back your scores.  

(I missed one… stupid SunTrust Bank!)

I’m just a little stumped…

over how excited I am about the release yesterday of the new REM album, Accelerate. Unlike many of my generation, I’ve never been a super-huge fan (yeah, I’m lookin’ at you old college boyfriend) but, after just a couple of listens, it’s more than apparent that they’re back. Big time. That unmistakable REM sound just takes me back and drops me right smack down into the basement of a frat house, dancing the night away like a fool. A fool that’s going to spend up some iTunes dollars on the new REM (no matter how much Mr. MTP hates them!).
