I am SO IN LOVE with this Orbit retro wall clock!!
I want one so bad… and if I didn’t already know that it would be tacky as all get out to put more than one of these in the house, I’d put one in every room. Isn’t it beautiful?

I love the motion picture soundtrack for Chicago (2003), and have wanted to see it on stage for a long time, but the movie made me want to see it even more. Queen Latifah (as Matron Mama Morton) sings “When You’re Good To Mama” in probably the best way I can imagine. Her character in the movie is cool, she’s cool, the song’s cool.
“You put in for Mama, she’ll put out for you.”
Check out the mp3 below and the lyrics.

Aside from the barbecues and the parades, Memorial Day is a day of remembering those who gave their lives for the freedom of the rest of us. One artist is paying tribute in a most amazing way.
Okay, so I’m going to close this at midnight New York, USA time on Sunday night (I’ll likely do the draw sometime on Monday), so you’ve got only just over 24 hours left to enter the $25 iTunes giveaway if you haven’t yet!

“I’m allergic to fabric softener. I majored in comparative literature at Brown. I hate anchovies. And I think I’d miss you even if we never met.” – Nick Mercer (played by Dermot Mulroney)
Oh. My. God.
I think that’s one of the most romantic things I’ve heard in the longest time. In fact, this movie has a lot of great lines in it.
In the days when airline travel was “new”, many tourism groups used commissioned art to entice people to visit “far off lands” like South Africa. Think Howard Hughes and TWA.
The lure of foreign lands beacons in Gayle Ullman’s vintage travel poster “Mystic South Africa.” The giraffe’s exotic silhouettes and deep reflections are burnished in warm sepia shades. The nostalgia and tranquility of this luminous poster will transport travelers, animal lovers and art collectors alike. – AllPosters
