Bomb in a Birdcage

Preview “Blow Away,” the first single off of A Fine Frenzy’s upcoming September release. I consider myself an Alison Sudol fan, but I definitely have some mixed feelings about this single. It’s a complete departure from the 2007 album and its piano-driven, melodic, jazz-inspired vibe.

The Time Traveler’s Wife

From the trailer, it looks like the silver screen version of Niffenegger’s brilliant work of fiction will be more of an inspired-by adaptation than a direct translation of the book — a wise decision, IMHO. Here’s to hoping that the inserted dialog doesn’t undermine the beauty of the story.

150

The Oregon 150 Challenge website makes me proud to be an Oregonian. And it reminds me of all the places in my own state that (embarrassingly) I’ve never visited.

MopShots

Finally, a decent place to find hairstyle photos. Before this, we were doomed to those terrible hairstyling magazines and celebrity style websites.

The Impossible Project

Hooray for the (hopeful) resurrection of Polaroid film!

50:1

Fifty People, One Question, via DailyCandy. “Go to a place. Ask fifty people the same question. Film their responses.” Some really endearing responses and camera shyness.

(Oh So)

allie — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 01:41:27 +0000

How did I not know about Oh So Beautiful Paper until this week? Now this is a girl after my own heart. Blogging exclusively about lovely, creative, unique paper goods… It doesn’t get much better.

Nueva

allie — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 23:27:19 +0000

I found NuevaSync on Saturday, and I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that it has changed my life. Being able to enter and modify appointments directly on my iPhone instead of having to wait until I’m at my computer… How did I survive with it any other way?

We Feel Fine

allie — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:10:44 +0000

An exploration of human emotion, in six movements. Poignant, creative, insightful.

Verve

Why didn’t we ever do a vocal rendition of Bittersweet Symphony when I was in jazz and pops choir?

Little Dish

allie — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 01:35:31 +0000

All food should dream of being so well-packaged, let alone so well-branded.

For Future Use

The next time someone stares blankly at me after I give a brief overview of the product I work on, I’m just going to sit them down and make them watch this.

War

Skank power, away!

Enjoy the Everyday

Volkswagen has the best car commercials, hands down. From Germany, “Enjoy the Everyday.”

TEAL

Some have described Jeff Deck and his team as “the Zorro of grammar,” but I prefer “crusaders of orthography.”

19 20 21

In barely over 100 years, New York city has more than quadrupled in population. Of course, this pales in comparison to Tokyo, which is over 23 times more populous than it was in the year 1900.

Leob

allie — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:37:26 +0000

Pure brilliance: Off the Beaten Track. Worth watching for all the magazine cut-outs alone.

Eureka!

allie — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 01:18:37 +0000

Somehow, in the process of Googling for an old Bluelines post today, I opened a couple of lovely photos that, as far as I can tell, were never posted to the blog. The color, the trim, the pink shutters… That house is the very manifestation of spring.

To do between now and May 1: Hope Notes.
