Sarcomical Blogmarks 07.15.09...Yummy Things

• SoulPancake | Chew On Life's Big Questions
  

  founded in part by Rainn Wilson (a.k.a. Dwight from The Office), this site challenges us to participate in open, non-judgmental discussion about religion in order to get us back to actively thinking in today's world about what our spirituality means to us.

• Inside Out
  

  this one's a very new discovery for me, and i like to look through the blog section especially. their description says it best: "Part literary publication, part therapeutic expression, our aim is to promote creativity for self-development through the publication of a diverse mix of artistic work, all with a focus on self-awareness and self-help. Why? Because we believe that sometimes simply owning something on the page is all it takes to move past it and move on, for both reader and creator."

• Esther Havens Photography
  

  Esther's work is beautiful and compelling. This is one thing I would absolutely love to be doing. Spend some time browsing through her site...you'll be better for it.

  (tags: photography documentary societies cultures cultural art travel humanity)


• the SCOOP
  

  GORGEOUSNESS in all forms of design (paper, clothing, home, art, etc.), and a multitude of scrumptiousness in food, place, and more are collected and scoured and lovingly set before you here, on this pretty little site.

• Bentley Films

  oh my lord. her photography is pure art and it absolutely takes my breath away. lots of self-portraits, but like none i've ever seen. her background in film direction has given her a uniquely forward-thinking method of composing her shots.

I know, I've been gone for over a week. I'm sorry, that was irresponsible of me. To leave you here, all alone, wandering in the internet abyss searching and praying for some contact. From me. Because you love me. I get it. I do that to people.

I'm sorry, wee whiny one. Would a cookie distract you from your misery?

No?

Well, have fun clicking the pretty links instead. Fall is teasing me; my response is to get all nest-y and think about cozy, yummy, and beautiful things. Enjoy.

• west elm. Furniture, accessories for modern homes.
  

  i started getting their catalogs a few years ago, and sadly haven't yet gotten anything from there into my house YET. but i love the simple lines and comforting colors. unique and modern, but not too strange to keep things from fitting comfortably into your home.

Here are some more fun things for you to click around on while you're supposed to be writing that press release, emailing them back, or calculating the...whatever complicated thing it is you calculate. From me, to you.

  a box of these chocolates would probably make me cry. happy tears, happy tears.

  
  (tags: food chocolate candy)



• Tigersan.com - A Chihuahua's Portal to the Web
  

  holy assault of cute. i just love this little guy. he fueled my obsession for chihuahuas way back when, and he still makes "ooohaaWWW" sounds come out of my mouth. put down your cup first because you will need one hand on your mouse and the other to point and say "AWW", too.

  
  (tags: dogs pets humor)

  (tags: illustration art)



• Taobot™ - Danny Franzreb
  

  flipping (well, clicking) through some random sites which led to other sites, etc., i found an interview of danny franzreb and i have only two things to say: i wish i knew how people made things like his designs, and god if i could figure it out my head would probably explode.

• Camera Toss (The Blog)
  

  i really, really suck at this (hey, i've only done it twice). and plus, i'm very afraid of breaking something. but i'm willing to practice if it means getting cool shots like this.

• OLAF BLECKER : PHOTOGRAPHER
  oh my good lord. my favorite thing about his photos is the way he makes the skin glow in many of them like in old 30's and 40's starlet photos. but he's also got the ability to make things look so raw and alive. simply an amazing talent.
