Beauty in tragedy




So, today hasn't been a very good day. At all. Proper Monday blues kicked in hardcore this morning/afternoon, and literally everything I interacted with seemed to kind of piss me off...ah well, at least tomorrow is Tuesday!!

On this plus side, I'm now at home and feeling a lot more chipper. The blog which me and my mate have been chatting about for a while got made, I got more into these chicks and I discovered that my appreciation of the gravity of certain world events has vastly diminished as the only thing that struck me when reading this news story was how rad the font of the accidental graff on the above picture looked. Dala?

Sick

Ignoring their cleaner than tooooo clean image, this is fucking awesome:

One last thing...

What's your function?


So, I know that no one reads this piece of crap, and so there isn't the slightest chance that I was missed...but I don't care - I'm back and I've missed you!

My predicament of the lack of employment in my life, and the impending doom of having to go back here, has now been relieved! I now have a function and I'm, ever so sadly, loving it!

Anyways, back to more interesting and eye-pleasing matters - I am, as I have already stated many times, very behind the times when it comes to fun stuff, but I try...I really try. As such, in my quest for the radical, I came across this amazing (year old) new online zine ting. They interview photographers, post up links to other new zines and spread the word of interest things to do in Toronto, by the looks of it. Of course, as I was scrolling down I found out that Platform have discovered them before me, as usual, so my uncoolitude was once more reinforced. I swear those kids just don't sleep and look at fun things the whole year! At least their website is shit...I'm not bitter at all.

This lady's work stood out to me instantly as it reminds me of the work of a friend of mine mixed with that guy of Teen Sheikhs fame. I'm going to keep an eye on this one for sure.

Til next time, over and out!

Accidental Awesome


Whilst bumbling across the world wide web, you occassionally stumble upon websites/blog/newsletters that by coincidence of name lure you in. Usually, this tends to get you nothing more than a scrappy 15 years old's angelfire attempt or a list of instructions for putting together your "Rolling Stone" flat pack furniture, but sometimes you get something so much more. This latest diamond in the ruff (that really wasn't not a vain stab at humour, I promise) really is the stuff of dreams. I was reading up on an organisation that I've got an interview with tomorrow morning (yawn), which happens to share the same name in part as this fine establishment, and in the course of my hopeless clicking and back buttoning this little beauty popped up to save my day! I've never heard of this particular breed, so it was as much of an education as a delight to the jaded eye. This is my favourite part of the website, where you can browse the puppies that will be available at 12 weeks, and which ones are strictly not!


- CHECK OUT THAT WAISTCOAT! -



This is my favourite little dude - She is named "Scarlett 'Storm'"
