Seemingly disparate bites of information feed my mind. I will attempt chew, swallow and digest.

Insert Clever Headline Here

Make that Clever & Catchy.
Use puns and cliche's.... Oh! cliche's with a twist.
That reminds of this bumber sticker I saw.
It was like 2+3 = 1, you know?
Maybe those numbers are wrong.

And then you ask yourself, what's going on here.

Use Few Words.
Write with impact.

My river runs broad and deep.
Your river is like a shallow stream with rapids.

Got it?

Fix it.

Don't forget to breath.

Breath again.

Women fight for rights in Film



Iron-jawed Angels.
A true story of the women who fight for their right to vote.

Best scene: The woman was handcuffed with her hands high above her head. The other women raised their hands above their head in protest of the woman's treatment. Moving with solidarity and strength.

So this friend.
I was talking to a friend about this movie. And he said, "Oh you mean the one they shot in Richmond?" Yes. That one. (Was shot at the old railway station) So my friend (whose house literally just burnt down, no joke, I'll take donations for him) was working at Elwood Thomson at the time the movie was being shot. Hilary Swank walked in wearing these big sunglasses that said, "I want to be recognizably incognito." The cashier pretended not to recognize her until he handed her card back. He grabbed her hand and said, "I absolutely loved you in "the Next karate Kid." She snatched her hand away and stormed off. ROFLMAO LOLCAT


Music dates the film - droopy hip hop bass beats and sappy strings - might have been edgy in the 90's, now it's trite.

re>envision • housE sizE

Tiny Homes. I want one. Better yet, I would like to design my own from a single 40x8 foot shipping container. The house would require an activity & people centered, not stuff centered life.

The New York Times wrote about this phenomenon back in 2007. Their multimedia presentation gives a nice overview of the topic.

Recycled shipping container. Luxury. Simplicity. Tiny. These are not words that easily combine, but I believe that requires a different perspective on life. The movies below are some of the basis's of my inspiration. A shipping container would be highly mobile as well and find its home comfortablly in a narrow city lot or a great expanse of wilderness.
