These Are My Favorite Distractions

Somewhere

Just watched Somewhere, written and directed by Sofia Coppola. It is very slow, but very much in Coppola’s style. A dreamy little moment of these characters’ lives. I love her writing/directing, it reminds me very much of Haruki Murakami’s books. Adorable Elle Fanning is fabulous in it, as is Stephen Dorff. Recommend only if you are really into Coppola’s romantic style. This makes me want to watch Lost in Translation again .. also cuz tickets to Tokyo have recently been crazy discounted. Oh, and super excited for The Bling Ring!

I MAY BE MARRIED TO BOOKS, BUT PODCASTS ARE MY MISTRESS
by Rachael Berkey

Great piece! This is so totally me! My latest podcast obsessions - RadioLab (been obsessed for a while) and Running to the Beat. This is the only thing that gets me through my morning workouts!  
And I’m currently reading - Cosmos by Carl Sagan (I know, still) and Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) By Mindy Kaling. This was last year’s Christmas present from my sister. I’m just getting around to reading it. It’s a hardback, I’ve been mostly Kindle since last Fall.

Quotable Arts by Evan Robertson / Obvious State

High quality giclée prints available at etsy. Distilling literary quotes from a handful of the masters down to a single graphic representation, Evan captures the raw concept of the sentence and makes it damn purty to look at as well.

I want all of these. 

I NEED THESE! So great!
