Excited About: Dark Shadows

Posted in Television & Movies by

Despite the mass obsession and rush to the theaters by the general public, I’m doing my best to hold out waiting to see The Hunger Games until my dear brother returns from a trip abroad. Meanwhile, I’ve just finished book two and am at a point where I am dreading book three because finishing the series will leave me very sad and empty, although Mumbles will be happy to have his wife back.

So, here’s the movie I’m looking forward to next as I try to keep my mind off of The Hunger Games: Dark Shadows. Another fab Tim Burton film featuring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, and also Michelle Pfieffer and Eva Green (of Bond fame).

Looks fun, right?

New blog design: What do you think?

Posted in Thoughts & Stories by

I had a grand vision and plans for updating the Stick Girl blog this weekend and like most things in life, it didn’t go exactly as planned. Turns out I’ve got a lot more learning to do so until then, I’ve made some temporary updates because I was really feeling the need for some color. What do you think?

Inspired by: street art

Posted in Inspiration by

While doing some of my internet perusing (gotta stay fresh – I’m known in certain circles for my internet prowess!), I came across this post about popular street art from 2011 (okay, yeah, not so fresh). But wow! Full of impressive and extremely creative transformations (albeit, there are definitely some super creepy ones in there too – like zombie people rising up from puddles in the street…gross), this collection from Street Art Utopia is sure to inspire and delight. Wouldn’t you just love to happen upon some of this on a walk through your neighborhood this weekend?!

I adore that crochet tree and would love to be reading a book underneath it right now (Hunger Games, anyone?!), I need one of those clothespin statues somewhere in my life, the pacman is super cute and clever, and that electrical box made to look like an apartment building reminded me of the scene from Men In Black where we discover our world is kept inside a locker.  Click here to see more of these fantastic photos (creepy ones included), and if you click through to learn more about any of them, you’ll stumble onto other sites that you can get lost in for hours [true story].

Doesn’t all that awesomeness just make you want to go out and find something ugly so you can pretty it up? Good, then it’s not just me. Go forth and make something pretty today, my friends!
