time travel for cheap

I came across a blog with some spiffy pictures for thought.

how many times have I wandered into a room and wondered what was it like right here, right where I'm standing, fifty years ago? seventy years ago? one hundred years ago?
somebody knows. among the hundreds of millions of old photos crammed into shoe boxes and albums, somebody somewhere has an old photo of this very room. and if by some magic I could fetch that photo, I could hold it in front of me and see the room that was while standing in the room that is. with a flick of my eye I could travel across time from now to then.

cowabunga, dood!

the devil's swimming pool
Victoria Falls, Africa

















one of my favourite photographs.
the natural rock ledge reduces the current and stops swimmers from floating over the edge, which is definitely a good thing when swimming near waterfalls. I think it would be so incredible, surreal. so, if anyone's up for taking a trip with me sometime between now and whenever, let me know. definitely beats the pool in my backyard.

it's been way too long. let's catch up, old friend.

so here goes my first post, again. such a lazy day. it consisted of copious amounts of coffee, wes anderson and occasionally getting up to move from one couch to another. this was much needed after my pops' fiftieth birthday bash last night. it was a great night with great people and SO much sushi. unfortunately i was a little too distracted to snag myself any. that's not usually how I roll.

I just checked out Jónsi’s webpage and was excited to hear about the limited edition of his new record - Go. the most amazing part - it comes in a velvet-lined box. I am a sucker for velvet and surprise goodies. I know there are a lot of MGMT covers/remixes/whatnot out there in the music world, but Jónsi really nailed it with his version of Time to Pretend. this one's racked up its play count on my iTunes this week.
