DOUBLE OH, SEVEN...

I'll leave you all to form your own opinions, but I heart the badass, slightly kitsch Bond. Is he in here? Oh yes, there he is at the end. At any rate I will certainly be heading to my seat straight after voting this Nov. Thanks BuzzFeed for alerting me to what a week we have coming!


love that music!

OUTSIDE THE BOX - OR RATHER, IN

MONDAY MORNING ROUND UP

1. LaVena Jonhson.

2. I used to like Balthazar Getty (and apparently I still like gossip).

3. Greensburg - oh, how I wanted to like you. Sadly I am bored witless. Make it stop.

4. Magic Chef is on my hit list. As in "I'm gonna have you rubbed out." The jury is still out on the HomeDepot.

5. I read an entire book yesterday. No, it was not Shogun. Yes, I did manage to eat, stop by the parents for a chat, go shopping at Target and have numerous conversations on the phone. I can multitask.

* what's next? my ToDo List?

IN SUPPORT

How cool - designer support for the Myanmar Cyclone!

LOVE MONKEYS



Super fun and touching story about star crossed monkeys! Presented in HD with incredible shots of the temple ruins that house the Temple Troupe and provide a realistic feel of the streets as they follow the rival Market Monkeys. It truly is a classic rich girl meets rebel street kid. If you believe that monkeys get into that kind of thing.

watch here!

FREEDOM VS. STATE

I find the timing of this ruling very interesting. I am not at all sure how I feel about it. While I cherish my freedom (of choice, speech and protection), I am certain that not all my American cohorts can handle it. Is this a case of the lowest common denominator leading the law? Or are we in support of the Supreme Court and have faith that the system can surely weed out those rogues who flaunt our freedoms like weapons?

WATCH YOUR HEAD

Hot damn, these re-interpretations are hilarious. I heart our government and it's stable of cough, designers.


if you find yourself on fire - run like hell, or don't, whichever is cool with us


when trapped under rubble, don't fart to lift the pieces off of yourself, it hampers rescuers


if radiated, you may find yourself freakishly tall remember to mind doorways


the best place to absorb radiation is the groin, the exposure record is 5:12, can you beat it?


behind your closet door, lies Hell, don't got there

NOLA

Currently there is a well designed and powerful exhibition on Post Katrina, New Orleans, at the A+D Museum. It ranges the information gamut and places real stats over their original projections and hosts photos of the flooded city next to plans on how to rebuild it by going green.

This is potentially its only showing in the US -- I know, what!?

AFTER THE FLOOD: Building on Higher Ground



I heart this map that spills onto the floor
