music videos are one of the most versatile, accessible and exciting art forms. outside of the mainstream exist videos made out of ice sculptures, paper and food fights. videos that restructure videos of the past, videos that feature costumed adults riding bikes choreographically and rarely used techniques that add to the unique-ity of the artist. enjoy. words above the vids are the key reasons that i love them.

Jenny Lewis - "Black Sand" - double exposure

Black Sand

i love The Selby because it makes me excited about getting a real place and being my own interior decorator. it also caters to my love of penguins.

movies i'm excited about: #1

The Brothers Bloom

starring: Rachel Weisz, Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo

"A globe-trotting comedy about the last great adventure of the world's best con men."

i saw this film at the San Diego Film Festival last fall and fell completely in LOVE. Adrien Brody is incredibly sexy, Rachel Weisz is adorable and Mark Ruffalo is quite the mastermind. it is easily in my top 5 favorite movies of all time and i HIGHLY recommend it. i saw it twice at the film festival and i am anxiously awaiting its arrival in Ventura.
