//PAUL BLOW BLOWS ME AWAY!
I've encountered blown's illustrations many times before.He has done lot of illustrations for clients such as the Independent and Times.I love how he makes use of coour and doesn't over do his use of line.The approach is also interesting as he mannages to capture great moods in his illustrations.Apart from that his work also has a sincere off beat comical ege to it which isn't always easy to pull off...i'm glad I rediscovered him.Here are some of my favourites ...

Scout Niblett is the stage name of the british Emma Louise Niblett.Her music consist of her singing only backed by guitar or drums.This video is just amazing (thanks for the link A-UNIT!)-I think the fact that it features Bonnie prince Bily is the deciding factoriof its ultimate awesomeness.There is one part I especially love, pay attention at ....

People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever anything really meaningful to say.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.

//JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER

I love this writer-even though it is quite a while ago which I read his novels they keep finding me again.I also recently read his biographical book "Eating Animals" which as impresed me just as much.I suppose Foer just gets me:)

here are some of my favourite quotes..

-"I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live." Extremely Loud and Increedibly Close


-"I hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love." Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

-"I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others -- The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad." Jonathan Safran Foer (Everything Is Illuminated)

- "I feel too much. That's what's going on.' 'Do you think one can feel too much? Or just feel in the wrong ways?' 'My insides don't match up with my outsides.' 'Do anyone's insides and outsides match up?' 'I don't know. I'm only me.' 'Maybe that's what a person's personality is: the difference between the inside and outside.' 'But it's worse for me.' 'I wonder if everyone thinks it's worse for him.' 'Probably. But it really is worse for me." — Jonathan Safran Foer (Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close)

-"I do not think that there are any limits to how excellent we could make life seem." — Jonathan Safran Foer (Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close)

/A PICTURE OF OUR TORN UP PRAISE.
This song by Phosphorescent is one fo my favourites and has been for a while now.It seems especially relevant to me these days...Thought I'd share it.i will be sharingmre of my favourite lyrics in the future.



I don’t want to take and baby I don’t want to break and baby I don’t want to try and make you anyway I just want to lie down, tell my crazy brains to lie down And then fall away I won’t be alone I won’t be waiting by the phone I won’t be dreaming of you dreaming of me anyway Tell me where you’ve been and I will tell you where I’ve been It will be all ok I don’t have a home it’s not a chain it’s not a throne It’s just a picture of a picture tossed and torn away Of anger on your face still not as strange and not as brave As when you turned away I won’t be the one when all is said and all is done I won’t be breathing like you breathe into the light of day I’ll be in the yard still taking pictures in the dark Of all our torn up praise Leave me not alone I won’t be chased I won’t be thrown I won’t be bleeding for you bleeding for me everyday Tell me where you’ve been and I will tell you where I’ve been It will be all ok

//VITRA HOUSE

//MATJIESFONTEIN

I recently went to Cape town.We drove back and made a few stops along the stretch.Matjiesfontein is one of the towns we stopped at.I loved the place,it makes you feel like you're not too sure where you are .Perhaps that is at it is located in the middle of nowhere, in the Karoo strip to be somewhat precise.The whole place just consists of a small road with a few 'houss" and a museum a train station and an hotel.It's one fo those town where the old colonil influence is blatantly visible.The red Beefeater bus (look at the photos),does town tours giving tourists a brief hhistory of the town.Yet,as the town is pretty miniscule thes tours only take 10min.To make things even more interesting,the town is now a national monument which claims that if you stay over you will hear joyful ghosts shooting billiard balls in empty rooms.Oh-and the town even has its own website-check it.
