Halloween Carnival

Each year there is a Halloween Carnival thrown for the students living on campus. Matt & I helped out this year and I decided to dress up. Matt didn't really want to so he thought he's wear his clothes he had worn teaching earlier today, so he was abviously dressed up as a teacher. It was so fun! We made slime, had popcorn straight from an old fashioned popcorn machine, cotton candy and donuts on a string. It was geared towards kids mostly, but we had a blast!
It took me about an hour to get my costume together, complete with a big fluffy tail! I was Gertrude McFuzz!

Hoedown Throwdown!

This post is for Amanda - my Hannah Montana buddy! If you also want to learn how to do the "Hoedown Throwdown" from "Hannah Montana: The Movie," visit this link. I expect you to know it soon! I must say that I didn't like Miss Hannah at first, but I happen to like the movie. I know. But it's just fun - and it has a cute story. Anyway, here is the hoedown, enjoy!

Man, if I had the Right Outfit...

Even though we all know that the right thing to do is create the outfit around the shoe!
And enough money for these...

Have a great Wednesday night!

Design for our Lives

I don't know if many of you know that my brother Talin is a talented graphic design artist. He's worked so hard to get where he is and he constantly continues to amaze me with his creative eye. I was browsing around the website of the company he works for and decided to pull out some pics so you can all see the kind of amazing work they do. It's so fun to see Tal's work on display for the world to see. When you're looking at something like this do you truly appreciate the countless hours designers, photographers - artists! - spend on this? Not really, but it's so cool when you start to view everything as design - the very chair your sitting in, whether ugly or architecturally brilliant, was actually conceptualized by someone for the simple purpose of giving your butt a space to rest. It blows my mind when I think that everything we see, touch and even sit on has been carefully thought out - wow! And my brother contributes to that, you get to see his work! I love my brother so much and want him to know how very proud of him I am! And on top of all that he does work-wise, he also has a beautiful wife Jen (who is an an amazing mom and teacher!) and baby, Ezra - he's just awesome!
So here's to all of you designers, we thank you for the chairs we sit in, books to marvel at and many more, innumerable, things that surround us constantly!
Much love!

Nine

Chalk full of fabulous performers! Basically everyone in the cast has either won or been nominated for an Academy Award - Judy Dench, Daniel Day Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, etc! Also, contains one of my favorite Broadway songs, "Unusual Way." Enjoy the song (pulled from the revival Broadway cast recording) and the trailer from the upcoming movie directed by Rob Marshall, director of "Chicago."
