So, if you don't watch much tv this won't be of interest to you...But I found an odd connection between two shows that I watch and thought it worth sharing...I noticed that Roxy (the new roommate and childhood friend of Whitney) on The City (airing tonight on MTV) has been a reoccuring character on Brothers and Sisters lately and thought it really weird that she was an "actress" AND on a "reality show"....so as i was watching Brothers & Sisters last night, i noticed the credits listed Ken Olin as the executive producer and an actor on the show and saw the name Roxy Olin as an actor...i thought, "Oh!!! That's got to be Roxy...and she got the job b/c her dad is the producer!!!"  So i looked online today to see which character he was and if i was correct... and it turns out that Ken Olin is in fact her dad in real life...and is an actor on the show who plays a charcter married to her real life mom, Patricia Wettig.  So not only was her dad the executive producer and cast himself on the show, he also cast his wife, and now his daughter..and come to find out his son is a writer there as well!  Ken Olin has been either a producer or director on several  shows that I've loved in the past such as Felicity, Alias and Freaks and Geeks...and both he and his wife Patricia, were also on thirtysomething (a show that I would like to watch again now that I'm actually thirtysomething.) together, but oddly enough their characters were'nt married on that show.  I don't really know what any of this means or who cares, but it was just really weird to me that annoying Roxy on The City ends up on sappy Brothers and Sisters (a show that I watch for my weekly crying release)...do with it whatever you would like!

Oh, and P.S. I've been a little MIA...we went to San Francisco for our three year wedding anniversary (I promise I'll post pics one day!) and since then life has been a little topsy turvy to say the least.  I'll be back soon...PROMISE!!  ;-)

I've been REALLY into foxes for a little while now, I think since Spring when while on the phone with my mom she saw a red fox running through her backyard...I looked them up and fell instantly in love...to the point of making a little fox cub my desktop of my work computer! haha

SO...seeing the trailer for The Fantastic Mr. Fox I flipped! I can not wait...for reals. In honor of the movie, I've put together a little eye candy...enjoy!

I get weekly emails from Nylon and just happened to notice at the bottom today a little shout out to Nashville!  Our little twitty city is getting all kinds of recognition this week from the design world, first the designsponge city guide and now this?!   I'm going to ignore the fact that we are most known by Nylon for bands such as Sixpence None the Richer, but the part that caught my eye...that I handn't heard about .....was a flea market!?  Whaaaaat?  No one has mentioned a flea market to me, I live for flea markets!!  I'm going to investigate this further. 

My friend April emailed asking for my opinion on wallpapering her new home office. After a few emails back and forth, we decided that wallpaper was just going to be too busy combined with her vintage paint by numbers and large red bookshelf she planned to use in the room, but I already had the bug and was up for the challenge of helping her put together a home office that she wouldn't mind spending time in! April filled me in on a few wants and needs and also that she loved the color peacock blue.....So behold, my first mood board!




In order clockwise:

I just noticed that the whole right sidebar to my blog is down at the bottom and not at the top, I'll work on getting that fixed. Just thought it worth mentioning!

Last night, I had a dream that involved Sunny Day Real Estate...it was very vivid and involved me walking through downtown (presumeably to go to work?) but all the while the song "Seven" was playing. I admit, I was a pretty big fan of the band my Senior year of high school and thinking back on the song now it makes me laugh becuase it's pretty rockin' compared to stuff I listen to now- but then again, I guess all or most of the music of that time was. I figure that my liking it had something to do with my half-pipe building skater(ish) boyfriend at the time. I also remember when Jeremy Enigk came out with "Return of the Frog Prince", I thought it was the greatest thing ever and was less heavy and probably the beginning of "emo" genre. That was much more (and still is) my vibe.

Anyway, back to the dream...so, I'm walking through downtown rocking out to this song, not much else to report on, but the song playing is the reason for this post...so, I wake up around 1:30 AM and turn the TV off (in real life, not the dream) song still stuck in my head, and I think it's odd that I'm singing a song that I dreamt about and even more odd that I dreamt about a song I haven't heard in easily 7 or 8 years.

This morning, (song still in head) I decide to look it up so I can hear it in its entirety and possibly get it out of my head- I go to youtube because everything else is blocked at work....and I see the second listing is one for Sunny Day Real Estate on Jimmy Fallon last night-- finally, it all adds up! It all comes together!!!

The TV was on when I fell asleep around 12:30, and without my knowledge Sunny Day just so happened to be the musical guest on Fallon. The song seeped into my dream from hearing it on the TV! Isn't that so weird how that works? You can be asleep and the phone is ringing in the next room, and somehow in your dream...a phone is ringing! Crazy stuff!

Well, here it is in case you were living under the rock that I was and didn't realize they got back together...and true to form, they are playing a show in Atlanta this weekend which I'm late to finding out about and can't go...oh well....maybe I'll catch them in another 10 years.

On days like today, I want to sell the house and pack up all three animals and hit the open road in a vintage Airstream.. I'd let David come too!

Guess what?! I found one on craigslist!!

Enjoy a little tid bit on the Airstream:

I stumbled across something today regarding the launch of the new online shelter mag, Lonny, that debuts October 1st and thought I'd share it. It may be all over the blogosphere already, but I'd only read small mentions of it here and here awhile back, and neither really gave me a feel on what was to come.


Annnnyway, I'm kinda excited about it now after seeing a little sneak peak via their Facebook page. And for anyone who is not keen on the name and wondering what that's all about- it is a combo of London and NY...verdict still out on that one. The cover is leaving much to be desired for me, just not really pulling me in...looks very European, which I typically like...but the other image, their mission statement...well, of course that speaks to me- it includes a typewriter!!

Like most of my pals, I've missed getting Domino in my mailbox each month, along with other long gone shelter mags (as they call them) and this one may fill that void - if only on my lunch break via the web. It comes from former Domino staffer, Michelle Adams and photographer Patrick Cline. Michelle is a busy lady, as she is also the face behind awesome organic fabric that is Rubie Green.

I've had my eye on a few of her patterns, so to hear that she is who is heading up the odd named mag...it's worth a peek. So, guess we'll have to hold out for a few more days for Lonny to arrive, but until then, we can read more on Michelle and Rubie Green here.
