We Own the Sky

So my last post was on a favorite photo, and it got me thinking about other things I consider my favorites. I can't exactly pick a favorite music video, but this one is definitely up there. The video for "We Own the Sky" by M83 was actually chosen from a film contest, and this was the winning submission. The cinematography gives it a yellow vintage photograph feel and the actors and actresses are perfectly cast. Also, I tend to appreciate any video that uses slow motion in a truly captivating fashion.

Beautifully Offbeat

Thank you to Samuel Bradley because I have found one of my favorite photographs of all time and its his. I'm loving his work, especially when it takes place in forests or in some foggy abyss of nature.
Here's Bradley's flickr and blog for everyone to look at too!



Whenever I take a look at the photo above, it reminds me of summer. Only in that season could you lay on the ground of a forest with friends like that.

Happy Saint Patty's Day!

I've had this song on repeat all day, and I think you'd all agree that it's appropriate for the occasion.
"Irish Celebration" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis has become my anthem on those many adventurous nights out. That's kind of the theme of the music video too, check it out.

P.S. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are going to be performing at Sasquatch, can't wait to see 'em live!

What a sight. Take me back to Paris, it's been too long and I can actually put the French I now know to use. Je t'aime, Paris!

#34. Ride an Elephant

One of the things on my bucket list is to ride an elephant. But just hanging out with one like the fellow in this photo would put me on cloud nine as well.

Whiter Shades of Pale

Dead week and finals have officially been sucking up every bit of time I have. However, spring break is soon enough and I'll definitely be able to post more regularly again. Yay!


So I know it's a small and silly interest, but I love coffee table books. "The Selby Is in Your Place" and "Elliott Smith" are both currently on my bookshelf at home, sitting there for whenever I randomly flip through them. The next book I'd like to add to my tiny collection is "Whiter Shades of Pale: The Stuff White People Like, Coast to Coast from Seattle's Sweaters to Maine's Microbrews," written by the guys behind the witty, observational site called Stuff White People Like. In it, the "typical white Portlander" is mentioned and analyzed among many other cities. There's just always something to appreciate about the type of humor that points out the obvious.
