trying a new blog platform.
This may not be forever, but I am trying this new platform for my blogging. So far I am leaning toward making a switch. So change my name in your feeders! For atleast a week!

Hitchcock Love
It has been years….YEARS since I have seen a Hitchcock film. Which is odd because he was a brilliant director and these movies should be like staples in my house next to Shawn of the Dead or Little Miss Sunshine.
What amazes me so much about his movies is that they are still — to this day — eerie. While you may giggle a little when they attempt to dramatize the dream scenes with monochromatic color overlays in flashing motion, you have to admit that by the end of the film you were genuinely moved.
As for a little eye candy…I’ve pulled up some stills and storyboards via the interwebs.
The movie is set in San Francisco, which of course made me oh-so-happy since I am visiting there for the first time next week!
Seeing Jimmy Stewart in a movie was like going back in time for me and hearing his voice made me so nostalgic. I was very much into classic films in highschool (I never claimed to be cool), so I honestly got a tiny bit teary eyed when he started talking. It was like hearing a family member’s voice when you are homesick.
If you are at all into the use of color and meaning in film, this link is great.
Hotel Empire is now the chic Hotel Vertigo.
I love the color in this scene. Bravo.
And who wouldn’t just adore his friend’s studio?

roadtrip.
photo via my creative fling.
I am planning a road trip from Seattle down to Sacramento/SF area in just a few short weeks. I really cannot contain my excitement…the cold weather is coming in and I need a change of scenery for a few days. Be sure to give me some pointers if you know the area(s), or the route down I-5. Last time I took this road trip, I got very excited about doing it during a time that I was not rushed and could stop along the way. I am doing exactly that.
faves [this week]
“she’s rad.” Yes, she is. Also loving this photographer’s blog.
Just when you think if couldn’t get any worse, f*cking Crocs creates a sacrilegious “Crocband” shoe whose band looks suspiciously like Converse….
Shameless Self-Promotion…I finally created a website for my photos.
inspired.
I’m guessing this was inspired by one of my favorite blogs ever [1001 Rules for My Unborn Son]….
1001 Rules for my Unborn Daughter.
Wink.
so very inspired.
getting dressed each day is hard.
I don’t know this girl, but I stumbled across her Flickr stream and empathize with the statement, “getting dressed each day is hard.” Also, her style is cute.
I’ve made some amazing thrift store purchases this week and I am super giddy to share them. Evidently, I look pretty exhausted this week. So no promises. I did manage to put on my Stepford Wife apron and produce some kickass chili for “chili cookoff” last night. You know you’re getting old when…
[I actually don't know if it was tasty in the end, I just like to pretend that it was.]
september, already?
I have a couple in mind for this. They would kill me.
This book looks facinating. No babies for me for awhile, but the ideas he is bringing to the table are definitley worth considering.
With all the photographs floating around in the world, I’ve always wondered if anyone has discovered a picture of themselves purely by chance. How lucky was this woman to stumble upon her own face at the SF Museum of Modern Art?
