I just stumbled upon a bunch of these short videos directed by Tyler Shields. I’ve never heard of him before this. His stuff can be a little violent and off-putting for me, but his photography is really intriguing and interesting and I loved a bunch of the videos, starring quite a few actors and actresses.
The bottom video with Paul Scheer is definitely my favorite. Check out the rest on his YouTube page.
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania may seem like it doesn’t have a lot to offer, but I adore the place. It’s a city, but it’s small enough that you don’t feel claustrophobic. And there’s the perfect blend of homeless crazies and classy business workers abound in the square.
Last weekend, the annual Fine Arts Fiesta came to town and settled in on the tiny square. It was filled with tents carrying everything from watercolor paintings to blown glass wind chimes, photography to tie-dye. I fell in love with a piece from every booth. In fact, I ended up buying a cute ceramic dog tag with an Elephant on it (they are my favorite animals) .I wish I had more pictures from the event, showcasing the Corona bottle wind chime I couldn’t stop admiring or the massive amount of fried food stands. I will take a picture of my found treasure soon.
Here are a few fun pictures anyways…
Oh yeah…I failed to mention I got halted by local news station WBRE to discuss the topic of “butt dialing”. I can tell you, I didn’t see if I made it on air, but if I did…it was a gem.
I love blogs. It’s the reason I wanted to make one myself; I find reading them to be incredibly relaxing, informative, and always entertaining. I use the Stumble Upon toolbar in Mozilla Firefox (check it out, it’s great to have when you’re in the mood to find new things) and I almost always have it set to stumble through the Blogger channel. I’ve found a lot of really great recipe blogs and a few photo and art blogs as well. The photo above is from a really great site, Idiot Box Artwork, that showcases works from all different artists. The art is all pop culture-based, mostly focusing on TV shows, cartoons, and movies from before the new millennium.
I am a huge fan of Freaks and Geeks so when I saw the photo above, I fell in love. The series only lasted about 18 episodes, and I’ve mentioned it in earlier posts, but its a great throwback to the 80s and is a just a good show.
I can’t wait until I have money to get my own place, and eventually, my own favorite works of art and photography to place around the living space. I’m pretty sure this painting won’t be around when that time comes. But it’s nice to hope…
