Equus


I saw Equus last night, famous for Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter) running around naked gouging out horses eyes. But let me tell you it is so much more. It is one of the best plays I have seen in quite some time. Richard Griffiths is fantastic (aka Uncle Vernon from Harry Potter) and so is Daniel. The play is by no means normal, but it is by all means brilliant. If you get the chance to see it, do.

Also if you can find the episode of Inside the Actors studio that just aired with Daniel Radcliffe I would definitely recommend watching that as well. Gave me some new insight to Mr. Radcliffe.

Alphabet Bags



Remember these Alphabet Bags that we all know and love?

Well I was just on Urban Outfitters and saw this:
How depressing, I was looking for signs that the Urban and Alphabet Bags were working together, but sadly it appears urban is just ripping them off.

I own many things from Urban, but being a designer it makes me sad that they are ripping independent off. Check out this site for more.

Handkerchiefs


Part of me misses the use of handkerchiefs, but then I also find them quite repulsive. When I blow my nose I would like to just throw that thing away. But still I love them. And I especially love these handkerchiefs from Jack Spade, so quirky and cute, of course in a manly way since they are for men.

Alex if you used handkerchiefs I would get you these.

Jonathan Adler





LOVE these new needlepoint accessories from Jonathan Adler. They make me smile, and they are only$28-$48, which makes me smile more.

Brilliant

Last night I finished A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. It was wonderful.

One of my favorite quotes comes after one of the characters opens a pack of modeling clay for Christmas.

"Thank you," he says.
"Thank who?"
"I don't know. You?"
"No, not me. Jesus."
"Thank you, Jesus?"
"Yes, Toph, Jesus died for your Christmas fun."
"He did?"
I turn to Bill. Bill is staying out of it.
"He did," I say. "Beth, did he not?"
"Indeed he did. Indeed he did."

Things I miss

So I was watching ABC Family, as most 20 year olds do, and a disney movie came on. Specifically, "Cars" and instead of seeing the opening logo that you see above I saw some horrible digitized version of it. It made me so sad. Everyone seems to be doing things digital just because they can. I yearn for cartoons that actually look like they were drawn, those were and still are the best.
