The Hiatus Owl

Grownups.

I love this. It's so sad yet cheerful. Hopeful.
Radiohead and this strip, both make me fall in love for a few minutes.
Short-lived emotions, but still...

Sighting in the West Side.

I let days go by without writing anything at all. In most cases I've been giving attention to my blog in Castilian, probably because there are more affecttions invested in subjects I command with ease, like the language itself. On most issues I have something to say, and the feedback the readers provide makes me fall in love further with the routine of providing material for them. This does not mean I write regularly over there either! I wish...

Anyway, as of now, I am all about sharing this picture I took in the West Side, Midtown. Cam was dead so I ended up using the iPhone's lens. This kind of cuteness has been popping up all over the city. Pixelated splashes, invaders in alleys... Lovely.

Happy Day Big Boss...

I have spent Fathers Day playing Metal Gear Solid IV, the sad and amazing story of a tormented patricide. As much a hero as a mercenary.
What to say...

Burning Man 2006 Census is Out!

Finally!
2006 was my first year, and of course, being the first time, it blew my mind away. In fact, I am still collecting the fragments, and I don't think it will ever end!
I have always taken the time to fill the census sheets, for it is the least I can do to support the idea of Black Rock City being a perfect testing ground for social, psychological and anthropological theories, being as it is such a foreign setting already laid there for researchers to do their dirty work.
The info has been presented in a format that is easy to read at a glimpse.
Easy pie chart!

These is what fine work looks like before the undexterity of a last minute sends it straight to hell.

Hard times!

It's the end of the semester, and this is what it looks like...

Trembled Blossoms at Prada.

Prada 2008 S/S Collection

Wallpaper Detail

The beautiful work of pop surrealist artist James Jean spills into the Prada realm. This particular animation was created for 2008 Spring/Summer. Other collaborations include wallpapers for the Prada Epicenter stores at SoHo and Beverly Hills. Jean's enchanted imagery even splashed through the collection; his nymphs and sinuous lines printed on fabric.

Victoria's Secret is Out.

Finally, someone has come close to pin down Victoria's Secret. A New Yorker by the name of Katerina Plew claims the company stole her idea for the 100-way convertible bra. In 2004, she had placed as much as $12,000 towards the patent and development of a prototype.After realizing how much it would cost to put into production, Plew contacted several companies -among them Victoria's Secret- with technical and promotional material. Oddly, further meetings with Victoria's Secrets executive were abruptly cancelled.
Now Limited Brands Inc., VS's parent company, is being sued.

Boo-hoo, Victoria.
