I’m momentarily done living this pseudo-life. Right now I want to fade out and go back. I guess I must go back to the fluid treehouse at this point. This may be a short goodbye, but will be seeing you soon when I start to fade in again.
A short film by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Wrapped in a black & white twisting montage, “Snakesweat” is a tale of three warped figures trying to “lose their minds in order to recover purity of truth.” Directed by Barney Clay.

“I am a lesbian and I was walking through a busy town holding my girlfriend’s hand. As usual, we were glared at and yelled at a lot. Then we passed a woman walking with her daughter, who was maybe 7 years old. The little girl asked her mom why two girls were holding hands, and we heard her say after we passed, ‘Because they love each other.’”
Yay. After a lovely cover of Miracle Legion’s “All For The Best”, Thom Yorke finally introduces a new piece, The Present Tense. Can hardly wait! (via at/ease)
Never thought writing could be so much fun - with a car. Happines Brussels, a Belgian ad agency, created a unique promotion for the new compact Toyota for Europe, the iQ, by producing a list of font from driving a car. Wow. Hence, two typographers, Pierre & Damien from Please Let Me Design and a pro race pilot, Stef van Campenhoudt, were summoned by the agency to design this car-created font promotion. You can download the font here. Oh yeah, and for addition, HB also created this desktop-clock illustrating the incredible agility of the new iQ. Get it for free here.

Practice was the only way. Search for the moment when the work started to shrink, when the chaos of details, the overwhelming abundance, yielded to structure. For that you had to immerse yourself stubbornly in the smallest fragments. There was no other way. Not until everything, every note, was thought out at the most detailed level, overpowered, and had become part of the motor system. Only then could your attention climb one step higher and your perspective expand.
Patience. Persist. Some day, at an unexpected moment, the vista would open up and it would lie there in a configuration so obvious that you wouldn’t understand how it could ever have confused you.
It’s good to see one of my favorite actresses, Abigail Breslin, growing up. Since I saw how cute and genuine she was in Little Miss Sunshine, I’ve been kept telling myself that I would be definitely up to see another her breakthrough role. And yet, voilà, there she is in another excellent movie adapted from the novel of the same name by Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper.
Abigail plays as Anna Fitzgerald, a genetic artificial (so to say in my own term :D) girl who was brought to the world to help her sister suffering from acute promyelocytic leukemia. Little did she know, Anna was originally expected to later donate one of her kidneys to her ailing sister. However, she finds out this unfair expectation eventually, so she goes out suing her parents because she believes she still has the right to do whatever she wills with her body. It’s pretty dramatic how Abigail illustrates a character struggling from a really dillematic situation - to watch yourself fade away or to watch your family fade away. Can’t wait to watch it.
Another bomb
Another panic
Why can’t you people just leave me alone?
Another felony
Another gimmick
Why you people always leave me undone?
Another chaos
Another trick
Why don’t you people just leave me for once?
