Xoverboard has a cool-as-heck site with plenty of humor and great artwork. Go visit him! The Modern Age is a site I recently discovered - awesome photos and design. Fiona's site, So Much Modern Time, looks super and offers a lot of hot content. Dana's The Graveyard is full of pop culture and film content; a good place to spend lots of time! Encorswish is a rad site I recently found. I recommend reading through his site, it rules!
I've been meaning to design my new photo galleries for ages, but haven't had time. Hopefully in the next few weeks. Here are some random photos for now!

I'm reading a book on the American 1950s and the Cold War, and am fascinated with information on the equation of women's liberation with the atomic threat. Apparently, some Americans so closely feared both the masculinized female and the possibility of the atomic bomb, slang terms for women such as "bombshell" and "hot" began appearing in the vernacular. Good to know.
Wow, Michael Bay may be working on a remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I thought the beauty of the original film was that there were no briefcases of money exploding in the air in slow-motion, senseless romances, and slow-motion glamour running shots. Hmm.
People everywhere A sense of expectation hanging in the air Giving out a spark Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end Masters of the scene We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more You know what I mean!
Voulez-vous (ah-ha!) Take it now or leave it (ah-ha!) Now is all we get (ah-ha!) Nothing promised, no regrets Voulez-vous (ah-ha!) Ain't no big decision (ah-ha!) You know what to do (ah-ha!) La question c'est voulez-vous. Voulez-vous! - ABBA
ABBA: The Movie was abba-tastic. At first I was disheartened that there were only three people in the audience, but I soon realized it was for the better -- I could sing along with every song!
