SUNDAYS!

Sunday nights leave a lot of stuff in my head. So I thought I would share a few things that make me smile.

Invisible bookshelves. I helped my buddy Andrew do one of these then he did a couple more, and they look pretty awesome!

This drawing by Edgar R. Mcherly. Everything he does is marvelous.

I'm really excited for Craig Thompson's Habibi to come out. His comics are so beautifully drawn and written. www.dootdootgarden.com

This room is WONDERFUL. I want it.

Kirby's Epic Yarn comes out soon and I'm so excited!!!!!! It looks fantastic and is going to be so much fun.
ADVENTURE TIME! My favorite television show! It's what I look forward to most on Monday nights.

And lastly this, it's just adorable.

Have a great Sunday night everyone!

Gummy Bears & Yoo-hoo.

It's rained here all week. I like rain, it's just the overcast cloudy days that are not that enjoyable for me. Except for the fact that I have been able to use my magnificent red umbrella. O.o I miss my lady though. I only have one more week to wait and then her and I are going to see It's Kind of a Funny Story at the Fine Arts Theatre here in Asheville, which will be wonderful I know. Afterward we'll be headed home for fall break. I can't wait to see my family and hometown buds.

Here's the trailer for It's Kind of a Funny Story:

As far as classes, they are all going okay, but Creative Writing is the best. We are starting drama and prose and I'm really getting into writing stories. A plus is definitely that there are so many talented people in there it's easy to bounce ideas off of them. Even if the ideas are always ridiculous, they are equally as hilarious.

Speaking of writing, I can't stop reading Mr. Sedaris right now. I got When You Are Engulfed in Flames two days ago and it's just as good as the other books I've read. Funny Funny stuff.

Well, I suppose that's all that's goin' on in my noggin right now, but here's a song:

"Weird doors open. People fall into things."

I'm a little late, but I finally got around to reading some David Sedaris. And I absolutely love him. He's sort of a phenomenon in the literary world, and after reading Me Talk Pretty One Day, I think it is totally well deserved. This book is a series of essays (which is essentially what all of his books are, at least I think so) that are all about Mr. Sedaris' life. These range from childhood anecdotes (Giant Dreams, Midget Abilities) to everyday moments of his adult life (Picka Pocketoni). The thing I like most about this book is that no matter what the subject matter is, he makes it laughable and light-hearted, whether it be something that is already giggle worthy, or the self-depreciating dark material I had heard about him. This book had me laughing out loud throughout, and in the end, I came away looking at life in a different way. Mr. Sedaris has reinforced my philosophy that there is humor in everything. Highly recommended.

i'm here

i recently watched Spike Jonze' latest short film, "I'm Here", and I loved it! It's a love story between two robots in a world where the live alongside human beings. Cute, and touching, I really enjoyed the film. You can watch the entire 30 minute film for free on the website!

my first day of employment starts tomorrow. so I (with the help of my roomate Jon) will spend tomorrow from 2:30 to 8 cleaning tables and other such tidy things around the cafeteria at school. i can make this interesting. :D

those old familiar days.

we sipped upon tea to make daydreams sweet,
and kept dinosaur socks wrapping our feet.
cards we would play out in the grass,
and sometimes a breeze or mustache would pass.
we waited for fall to change all the leaves,
as shorts turned to pants and we lengthened our sleeves.
on somedays we’d laugh on our time well spent,
as owls would follow wherever we went.
singing catchy songs as crazy as we could,
we saw bowler hat troll, chopping up wood.
a monster found it’s way onto my head,
just as we were preparing for bed.
so we gave him so tea, we all said good night,
wrapped up in blankets, and turned off the light.
