The Golden Hour

I realize that I watch entire seasons of television shows on weekends coupled with a few full-length movies.  I think I ought to spend some of that on mastering my Spanish and to finally tackle art history.

Thus, beginning this weekend and the weekends to follow, I’m turning 3pm to 6pm as study hall, aka The Golden Hour.  I’m spending 90 minutes each on both topics and hopefully, I get to talk about art while speaking in Spanish.  Haha, okay too crazy.  But you know what I mean.

*Golden Hour is loosely related to the photography term, therefore it does not necessarily mean an hour but rather illustrates a period of time.  Just sayin’.

The Anticlimax

Those three words.

Stumbled upon Notebook Doodles and spent a good few hours going through the archives.  Aren’t they just lovely?

Anyway, it’s 4am.  I think I need to go to bed.

Let’s Sit And Talk Awhile

I once thought I wanted to be an interior designer.

That dream blew up into smoke when I realized I had little to no ounce of design in me.  To be honest, even my appreciation of design is solely based on feeling and intuition.

Well, that’s exactly why I was so tickled by this Troels Grum-Schwensen and Aksel Kjergaard collaboration.

I don’t know about you but I can imagine what kind of an exercise I’d get when I try to share a slice of warm chocolate cake on this. It’ll probably help me burn calories as I go along consuming them. If you think about it, it makes for a good excuse to have more cake, isn’t it?

Anyway, description for this piece reads:

Narrow margins have been set for the negotiations at the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit. A lack of mutual openness will have consequences … A balancing act…

This is all in part of The Cabinetmaker’s Autumn Exhibition 2009: DIALOGUE – A Chair That Is Up for Negotiation that “takes its point of departure in the 2009 climate change summit, COP15, where the world leaders are tasked with achieving improvements on the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.”  There’s a lot of other good designs so click that link above.  And if you’re still itching for more, you may want to check out 27 Years of Creativity at Yatzer.
