This made me smile...
Yep, I've been there! If I work from home, it doesn't mean I'll have time to do the laundry, the shopping and the cleaning. Also, no I can't meet you for coffee. I'm working. Although if I'm totally honest, I guess I also have moments of this:
For more Artsyville prints, visit her Etsy shop.

The five rules from life blog is very inspirational. Every time I visit, there are new ideas to think about. I think these rules are my favourite at the moment. Oh, and just in case you missed mine, they are here. What would your five rules for life be? ****
I'm one of those people who have to arrive at the cinema BEFORE they dim the lights, before the adverts, and obviously, before the movie starts. I also like to wait until the very end to leave; yes, I leave after the closing titles have finished. I love the experience of going to the cinema and I don't want to miss a single second. This is all better it the movie has creative title and ending sequences. I really don't like it when the movie starts straight away, I think everyone involved in making it deserves to have their name displayed in an interesting opening sequence! The Art of the Title website pays homage to some interesting film and TV opening sequences.****
Ah, Polaroid! There is something very special about them. For me, Polaroids are about small moments, about those rutinary objects that we never pay attention to, those scenes that we see every day. The uniqueness of the day to the day. I recently heard about Jamie Livingston, who took a Polaroid photo a day from 1979 to 1997. The story of his life (better, his day to day) on Polaroids. Go here to see them all, or read more about it here. ****
And for more creative photo projects, I'm loving The Photographic Dictionary. They keep adding more words and the photos keep getting better. Some of my favourites are birthday (hilarious), home, pink, and plastic. I could spend hours checking every word!

I'm loving the idea of Hope notes. It's easy, it's beautiful, and it makes me smile. See how Kristin started the hope revolution here. I heard about it from Sas, who has already done it. I think for my first hope expedition I'm going to go around my office. We're not a miserable bunch, but the the days are getting shorter, mornings are becoming colder and we're all feeling a bit blue.
****
For more hope and random fun, go check the latest project of Improve Everywhere. They organized a photobooth in the underground! Brilliant! They should tour the world bringing fun to public transport. I love my bike, but one of the reasons why I cycle to work, even though it means getting up earlier and doing exercise first thing in the morning, is that everyone on the bus is always so miserable. It's not a good way to start your day!****
This is a beautiful love story set in Rome, I love everything about it, specially the fact that it was made of photographs. Isn't it clever? I found it at M. A. Belle blog. Enjoy!
hey b! thanks for all these links. i can´t wait to check them out. happy week!
ReplyDeleteMy boys hate when I wait to leave a film until after all of the closing credits, but you never know what you might see. I'll be sure to check out the 5 rules from life blog.
ReplyDeleteSo much to do on this post today! 1. Must check out the Artsyville prints.
ReplyDelete2. My life in photos...now that would be interesting!
3. Hope notes...VERY INTERESTING!
4. Improv Everywhere is AWESOME! I ride the subway everyday in hopes I'll hit one of their trains one day. I'll let you know. The photoshoot they recently did was hysterical. They made it seem like it was a 'yearbook photoshoot'...very clever!
5. And right now, AS IN RIGHT NOW, I'm going to go check out Notte Sento.
Thanks for all the fun activities!
Typical Italian system-trains just get cancelled like that!
ReplyDeleteBut I thought the movie was real cute & different.
I have no idea how anyone can arrive late for a movie but worse leave without seeing the end credits - all of them.
ReplyDeleteDon't they want to know who did what?
very inspiring post. and entertaining. i love aimee's work too. makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteI just used way to much time checking out those link; the photographic dictionary and Improv Everywhere are both so great!! Thank you, thank you for this.
ReplyDeletePs: I totally agree with you about the whole cinema experience, I always get slightly panicky if I'm running late...I hate missing the preview !!
I love when you do these random links. They are always good.
ReplyDeleteOf course I had to watch the video being set in Rome and all and it made me homesick for The Eternal City. A warming film and the girl is stunning. Amazing that it was done with photographs.
I loved the captions. As someone who has to work from home occasionally I can only smile complicitly.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing how the final credits roll up when a movie finishes. That's why it drives me mad that some projectionists shut their projector off as soon as the film is over. I have been known to knock on their door and demand that they show the final credits. Who wrote the score? Who's the gaffer? These are people!
Great post.
Greetings from London.
i'm supposed to be working but took a quick blog break. Now I've clicked so many links from this post that I'm going to be happily lost in the internets for an hour or more.
ReplyDeleteI was working from home today - but the first pic would be applied to my day until about 2.30...the second pic then applied ;P ha ha xx
ReplyDeleteThese were all wonderful links, B. Even though I have SO MANY blogs to catch up on, I looked at every single one. And I added the photographic dictionary and the five rules to my bulging list of blogs. I'm a little bit freaked out, though, that the creator of the photographic dictionary was born when I was in COLLEGE!
ReplyDeleteLet's go to a movie together. I watch a movie just like you do - dimming of lights to the end of the credits.
now i need like two hours just to check all these links...it was worth it, working on this one since july. :-)
