Pattern Is Movement + The Roots = D'Angelo?

Japan sweetness + DKD

These music videos are so sweet:
HANGETSU
Hibi no neiro

They're from the Japanese band Sour. They make your mind exercise.

At work yesterday, my worlds all collided. I was watching the second disc of "United States of Tara." At the end of the first episode, they used "That Knot Unties" by DKD! The Closed Captions thought the lyrics/song title were "That Night Unties." I was able to right this wrong. It felt extra good.

How is the fall for everyone?

Love,
Casey

aily drop cap is a new project by graphic designer Jessica Hische. In the design world, Jessica is a well-known young designer and she recently quit her day job to focus on personal projects and freelance work. On dailydropcap.com she will release a new fancy initial and provide html code so that bloggers across the internet can use them to beautify their posts. Pretty neat!

My earring packaging project from Prague, along with the work of some of my classmates, got published in a design book called Design School Confidential. It features international student work. Steven Heller and Lita Talarico selected the Prague Souvenir project my class did while abroad for inclusion in the book.



On page '115' there's a little picture and a heavily edited description of my earring project. If you click over to its Amazon page you can type '115' into the 'search inside this book' box, and see my project as well as the work of my classmates on previous and subsequent pages.



It's my first time being published in a real book!

Betsy Harris on NPR

Last night I went to the Nightlight to see Swan Quarter's final show. They were the headlining band, and they gave a fantastic performance. Hunter even made a guest appearance on the trumpet. Betsy Harris was there too, documenting the evening.

Because of her devotion to the local music scene, Betsy Harris was recently featured on The State of Things with Frank Stasio. I really enjoyed listening to her interview here on WUNC's website.

Sad news about the Varsity.

So the Varsity theater, on Franklin Street, just closed down.

Shed a tear for all the great movies you saw in those semi-comfortable seats, and for all the times the projector screwed up right at the climax. Shed a tear for the Varsity.

Whooaaa, double blog!!@#$

June 22nd is "Stupid Guy Thing Day". I've been looking for lists on the internetz of "stupid guy things" to read to my old people on June 22nd, but I have a feeling my friends can do better. So boys, please enlighten us all and help my job performance by sharing the stupidest guy thing you've ever done. Ladies, feel free to contribute feats you've witnessed. Thanks, cher cher.

An old man yelled at me today. Not a demented old man, either. Not even a cranky old man. He thought I made a mistake. And so he yelled.

I can't remember the last time I was really pissed off. I don't know if I've ever been. But I was today. And then I went home and cried.

I miss this group of friends. And having everybody in one place together.
