karenabad asked: That X100..I impulsively pre-ordered it. I justified it by saying I've been working hard....haha and that it was a late Valentine's Day, early birthday present to my self.
With Tax and Shipping and everything, it comes out to like 1200. I feel that when I get this, I'll be using my DSLR less and less for photography.

Model Behavior
Someone scribbled out your eyes left the page flat but creased There was nothing but black left for your vision but in the hollow where pen had pressed paper to oblivion I saw a stare, a final stare, seep out of you beyond that, the edge of a smile just the edge and your expression would cater to infinity as though you were left there for all of your days blind, and worn but...

I might catch hell for this, but, while I think Tom Hardy is a fantastic addition to any film, I don’t like the idea of the villian (or, at least, one of the villians) of the new Batman movie being Bane. No dice.
"Catfish" and social media
I watched Catfish last night. I liked it. It wasn’t anything amazing, and, I think as long as you go into it expecting to know what’s happening by a quarter of the way through the film, you can enjoy it. But the film brings up something interesting. I was talking to a co-worker about this today. First, we both agreed that, while The Social Network is a much better film, Catfish better...
Paper Doll
You are a word, a moment captured in the space of ink a pen or printer which commits your spirit to page you’re a fantasy the kind hours are spent perfecting and yet flesh, that you inhabit, exists and bonds to your bones air barely able to live in your lungs before it is pushed back out in a word or a song and your blood breathes all over the page and mine pumps through the...
“We have to be very clever about those things. You have to remember that it’s...”
– -Francis Ford Coppola in this wicked inspiring article. (via)
This is a great article, though, it needs to be said that Coppola could have only gotten into the wine industry because of the money he made making films, as he bought the estate with Godfather money, and built the winery with money from...
Why I Returned My iPad by Peter Bergman →
karenabad:
This article is an extremely interesting read. There are a lot of good points in it. I also noticed that since I got my iPod Touch, I go to bed maybe 4-5 hours later than I would like to (read: insomnia). I find myself laying in bed watching TED talks or playing games or instant messaging. I’ve become a slave to this device and technology.
For my trip to London, I decided not to...

Molten
If your heart should turn to glass on me if the sand and air and heat should separate in anger or in despair and my embrace becomes like a heavy stone look back cover your eyes to the forge and see a simple ember burn if you can still see
know that molecules make us know that our embrace may take us through heat and chill through shaping a...
Paramore's "Last Word" MTV interview →
I guess we’ve heard from both sides, and this is definitely, no pun intended, a he said/she said situation. Unfortunately, we may never know a whole, objective truth. For me, I’ll be looking forward to a new Paramore record, to see the direction the band is going in, and will also be looking forward to the Farro’s new project.
Last thoughts and moments of 2010
I suppose its fitting that I am sitting here, alone, in the new room I just moved into a few hours ago, typing some final thoughts on the year, as we welcome a new one. I probably said most of what I wanted to say last night, but one thing I was thinking about today was this - I didn’t expect much from 2010. 2009 had been a bad year, and I was just glad to see it go. With all of the issues...
