Get Fuzzy

I needed a pick-me-up today... and these Get Fuzzy comics did the trick.

This comic strip features the adventures of three household pets: Fungo (the scary ferret), Bucky (the evil, wannabe-scientist cat), and Satchel (the dumb, but very sweet, dog).

In the comics below, Bucky has started spreading nasty rumors about Fungo the ferret on sticky notes that he posts all over the house and calls "weaseleaks":

I hope this uplifts your day as much as it uplifted mine!

Swell Season: The Movie

I couldn't figure out what to blog about today, so I found myself just cruisin' around the web.  Mostly wasting time (I have a habit of only meaning to be on the internet for 5 minutes, and then zoning out for three hours while watching videos of laughing babies and looking at houses online.)  But then, I saw THIS...



and it rocked my world.

Apparently, during The Swell Season's two-year world tour, there was a documentary team filming them.  The resulting film was aptly titled "The Swell Season" and is opening on April 22nd in NYC during the Tribeca Film Festival.  It looks like it is mostly about Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova's much talked about relationship.  Yes please.

I love documentaries because it's like people watching... on steroids.  (And I love people watching.  Probably a little too much).  This documentary will be no exception.  It better find its way to our local theater, Netflix, or DVD... or I'm gonna be super mad.

"Back to the Future" Feature: Irina Werning

If you want to see something amazing, dreamy and fascinating, take a look at Irina Werning's photography project entitled "Back to the Future."  And no, it doesn't have anything to do with DeLoreans.
In this project, Irina Werning (the master behind the camera) asked her friends and family to re-enact their childhood photos.  In looking through the pictures, I was amazed at how little people change over the years!
Here's a taste.
