Graffiti Art in Philly

Saw this on Walnut Street in Philly. This gal is like Audrey Hepburn meets Edith Head with a dash of Piaf and Monroe. Love it!

Road House

Years ago I was watching Clerks with commentary and Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier were talking about Road House - which I had not yet seen - and how they wish fans of films could run commentary on the DVDs. Brilliant idea. Last week, while searching my library's catalog (I think to see if they had a copy of Red State) I discovered that, holy shit, Kevin and Scott actually did commentary on a DVD copy of Road House!

So, last night after a long-ass day at work, followed by spending a few hours walking around Philly with Nicole, I got back home, kicked back in my favourite chair and hit play. No lie, I was in stitches. Kevin and Scott were spot on and actually made the film watchable. I especially enjoyed how they changed up those Chuck Norris lines and made them Dalton, Swayze's character. The best one? Dalton doesn't wash his clothes; he disembowels them. Fucking priceless. Ya know, I may just hafta go back and see it again just to count exactly how many times those fellas said the words "roundhouse kick" cause it was a lot.

Messin' About

This past weekend I had my niece Ashlee over and she discovered my purple wig whilst searching for some perfume in my room. We decided to play a prank on her bf who is stationed in the Pacific Northwest. After texting him this photo we actually had him convinced that she chopped off most of her hair and dyed it a funky shade. Champ that he is, he said it looked great. What a doll. Can't wait til he's home on leave and we can all hang out.

Best Book to Take on Vacation

This book was perfect for those long train rides throughout Italy this past March. I needed to stay focused on the upcoming stops and so getting sucked in to a really fantastic read just didn't seem like the brightest idea. Plus, I liked checking out the countryside from time to time, so this book was totally ideal. Not to mention that I am really good at a lot of things, so it was a nice self esteem boost as well.

As ever, June & George

Ashlee and I went on a lil' pilgrimage to Murphy's Loft this afternoon (sidebar: the tattooed fella behind the counter? oh-mi-lawd. talk about dreamy!) and picked up twenty nine bucks worth of postcards. This one was one of the best.

Triplets

Today while hanging with my adorable nephew Jaeden, we discovered that we totally wore matching coloured shoes without even planning. When I dropped him off, Kayla was home and - holy schnikes! - she had mini hi-top versions of my All Stars. We are three very cool, hep cats. No doubt.
