Case of the Mondays....

I really don't want to go to work....

I would rather be here today, tomorrow, wednesday....


I think i speak for most of us when i say we all need a fucking vacation.

I watched this clip this morning and I threw up a little bit in my mouth...

Artist o' day...

Lee Jang Sub has some pretty pretty stuff...

I have always had a thing for plans of cities, urban design, the beauty of the grid - illuminating it like this really puts the subtle beauty and softness that the hard lines of the imagery needs. I might not know what i am talking about in all actuality. I am preoccupied with the fact that my spacebar key on my keyboard is squeaking every time I press it....how annoying.

56 Leonard St....

Herzog & de Meuron's latest skyscraper on Leanord in NYC. Not sure what I think yet. Some of the images are beautiful, but I think the building starting to deconstruct itself 3/4 of the way up doesn't sit right with me. There is something too simple about the transition that I can't put my finger on. None the less, it is still beautiful, I am still in awe of any architect that can push the limits. Very Moshe Safdie - Habitat 67, no?

I think my favorite part of the entire bldg, and this isn't saying much for the architecture unintentionally, is the Anish Kapoor sculpture on the ground floor. Now THAT is a transition, haha! I love it!

Mmmmmm....shooooooes

Listen, so here is my first blog rule:

1. if i put something retail up on here, i automatically have called it*. you can't go out and get it. a copyright maggie, if you will?

*only if i know you - i don't wanna walk around and catch you wearing the same shit as me ;)


Too pretty to keep to myself....

I am in need of stumbling upon a moment like this...Something that happens to only you, humbling you before you even realize it...


September 28th....

Fleet Foxes fans...

I wish I had you tube when i was this young and enthusiastic...i think my friends and i would just turn the music up in the car and pretend we were being video taped...

"We went out in the forest this morning and recorded this cover of the wonderful song "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" by Fleet Foxes, our favourite band right now. We saw them live this weekend in Sweden and it was absolutely amazing. If you get a chance to see them live don't hesitate for a second!"




Tiger Mountain Peasant Song - Fleet Foxes

New home on dairy farm...

I wonder what kind of glazing she put behind the wood slats? Most of the addition was made with local materials, but I doubt they had some left over glass on the site...milk bottles? haha! None the less, this is gorgeous - I really like the Matta-Clark-esque split that she made such a focal point...
