Moving Blogs

Hey! I have actually moved my blog! Each place had things I liked more than the other, but I actually figured out ways to mimick what I like here over there, soooo...! (plus the photo upload time is ridiculously faster on the other site.)

See you there!
The address isn't all that different.

Space Invaders

I have an immense love for an anonymous artist by the name of Space Invader.
After reading an interview with him in the 10th anniversary issue of Giant Robot, I've thought that this guy is just the coolest "street" artist out there. Seriously, making space invader images out of mosaic tiles and in the middle of the night installing them on buildings all around the world is such a nice spin on the whole overrun-by-amateurs world of Graffiti art.

Imagine my surprise when we found not one, but two Space Invaders in Paris!



It was the best part of Paris!

On the Behavioral Instincts of Air-Born Insects

In the United States:
Bugs go about daily business. Fly around. Make buzzing noises.

In France:
Bugs divebomb my face.
Constantly.

Shippy


This little guy has won my heart. He came in when we left the door open, and proceeded to make himself very comfortable.
I'm honestly not complaining.

New Cat to Name


It takes us a while to call cats by their actual names, but we've finally started calling Monsieur Fluffy Butt Cat "Shippy", which is his actual name. Fortunately, we now have a new cat to make up a name for. This sweetheart suddenly came up our flight of stairs out of nowhere to say hi, and I'll admit she was tricky to photograph. She was also clearly in heat. For now, she is In-Heat-Cat.


She's also very friendly, and when she noticed I was taking her picture, ran at my hand and headbutted me.

Columns at Senanque


This entire place was freezing cold, but the columns were worth the trip. Every single one had a different top based off of a different flower. Not sure which flowers, but they were amazing just the same.

Big Ass Cloud


forced me to use the panoramic funtion on photoshop to be able to show the whole thing. Sadly the lantern didn't make it out so well.
