pursuit of happiness

I like Kid Cudi, but in this case I think I'm going to have to go with the cover. Either way it's a pretty catchy tune.
plus i'm also currently pursuing happiness.

and here's the original for good measure:

This isn't quite as grand in scale as his Sunflower seeds installation at the Tate, but it's quite stunning just the same. This installation is on view at Misa Shin Gallery in Japan through the end of January.

Alex joined facebook...

Grad school has forced me to become more studious. This has manifested itself through longer hours working on campus and me unplugging my Roku player to force myself to refrain from watching endless netflix. But that has caused me to watch lots and lots of online videos, several of which have recently graced this blog. Well, here's another fun video to enjoy!

A Life on Facebook (HD) from Tomás Cunha on Vimeo.



(It should be noted that another side effect of grad school is the increased amount of time I spend on facebook, which might explain, in part, my fondness for this particular video entertainment. The extent to which facebook is part of my daily life is sad and little bit unnerving, and I think this particular animation does a pretty good job conveying that feeling.)

you're not a whore if it's for charity.

addendum to my previous Movember post:

Attention, ladies! There's only one day left before "Have Sex With a Guy With a Mustache Day." Now's the time to make sure you have a mustachioed individual willing to help you fight cancer. Because, as we all know, cancer steals titties. It steals balls. It loves Glenn Beck and it hates nachos. We can't just sit around and let it get away with that. So use your vagina to make a difference.

telegraph's picture of the day. and mine too.

A real-life owl and the pussycat. A kitten and owl have become  inseparable. The unlikely friendship began after a litter of stray kittens were handed in to the Hawk Conservancy Trust in Hampshire, after they were found abandoned on a nearby road, and one of the litter has become firm friends with Nigel, a white-faced scops owl
