“The vinyl is dead. Good. Now listen to the beautiful noise of the earth.” Harvest (2009) is a new art piece for the new instrument terrafon, traditional ensemble and cropland – by Olle Cornéer and Martin Lübcke. Check out the amazing video performance here!

Also, watch this little experiment using iPhones to make a bacterial orchestra. So great!

So, yeah.. I’m currently watching Love, Actually as well as some other Christmas films while listening to Christmas music. My room smells of pine cones and I’ve had at least 15 peppermint mochas this week.. I have this hardcore holiday spirit. Don’t judge!

Imagine what cities would look like without any traffic.. Take a look at these photos by Tom Baker. If this actually happened to L.A. freeways, my life would be so complete!

“There is always a way.. When things look like there’s no way, there is a way. To do the impossible, to survive the unsurvivable, there’s always a way. You and I have this in common, we’re inspired. In the face of the impossible, we’re inspired.. So, if I can offer one piece of advice: Today, if you become frightened; instead, become inspired..”

"Tag, you're it!"

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:03:00 -0500

The lovely Elsie posted this fun little game on her blog. I was studying until I saw this and am already fully committed to finishing. If you would like to play: “tag, you’re it!”

1. Where is your cell phone? You know, just sitting by my side as I sip a delicious Andrew Palmer from Aloha Java, one of the best coffee/tea shops on campus.

2. Your hair: is usually wavy in the morning, until I straighten the heck out of it.

3. Your mother: is Vietnamese and watches 5 different soap operas almost religiously.

4. Your father: is French and Guamanian and loves anything to do with computers. Oh, and he’s pretty damn good at art, especially wood burning. He’s my inspiration.

5. Your favorite food: would have to be anything Italian. I prefer pasta, so delicious.

6. Your dream from last night: is one that was so boring that it is not memorable.

7. Your favorite drink(s): soy caramel macchiato, spiced chai soy latte, and honey vanilla chamomile. I’m sort of getting addicted to these Alice in Wonderland teas, too.

8. Your dream/goal: to design things, travel the world, meet wonderful people.

9. What room are you in? I’m currently in my bedroom, where all of the magic happens.. And by ‘magic’, I obviously mean sleeping..

10. What is your hobby? I love reading Harry Potter and nonfiction, watching reality shows, and discovering new music. If you have any new music, send me an email!

11. What is your fear? I have this fear of swimming in deep blue ocean water where I can’t see what sea creature(s) are swimming beneath me. So weird, but so scary.

12. Where were you last night? At the Irvine Spectrum Center, watching a few movies with my friends Amanda and Julie. Where The Wild Things Are and Saw VI.

13. Something you are not: Straight.

14. Muffins: Buttermilk Spice muffins are and always will be my favorite.

15. Wish list items: iPhone, a new job, and the money to travel.

16. Where did you grow up: in the lovely state of Hawai’i. I moved to California in ‘98.

17. Last thing you did: drove home from a long day at college. 1:00pm-10:00pm.

18. What are you wearing? Pajamas, because I am in that ‘lazy’ sort of mood.

19. Your TV: is currently recording a bunch of reality shows and documentaries.

20. Your pets: 1 black rabbit and 1 purple beta fish.

21. Your friends: are the best and mean the world to me. Seriously, I cannot imagine a life without these lovely people. I am so fortunate to have them in my life.

22. Your life: is optimistic, exciting, and random.

23. Your mood: tired, exhausted, zonked. All of the above.

24. Missing someone: Katie Evans. I miss my constant.

25. Your car: is a ‘97 Honda CR-V named Albus. He was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My favorite novel is Harry Potter. Thus, I named him Albus.

26. Something you’re not wearing: Socks!

27. Your favorite color(s): green and brown are the best. A swirl of the two, delicious.

28. When was the last time you laughed? About 45 minutes ago. Lyzz and I create inside jokes almost every day, it’s quite amusing..

29. When’s the last time you cried? When I came out to my parents. The happy cry!

30. Your best friend(s): are both Amanda and Lyzz. I love them dearly.

31. One place you go over and over: Disneyland. My college is only 5 minutes away, excluding traffic. Speaking of which, I must renew my annual pass..

32. One person who emails me regularly: Gosh, I receive far too many emails a day to list only one person. So, I suppose to all of you who email me.. I love you!

33. Favorite place to eat: I enjoy making my own food, actually. I rarely ever eat out.

34. Your favorite store: Buffalo Exchange.

35. Where do you want to be in 6 years? I am not a fan of this question, because it’s very hard to predict the future. But, I would very much like to live in either New York, England, or France doing Graphic Design. It’s just a dream away..

The Blu Dot Real Good Experiment. Curb-mining: the act of finding furniture and art on the street. Mono came up with a way to conduct a curb-mining experiment: What would happen if we left a bunch of Real Good Chairs all over New York, free for the taking? Who will grab them? Where will they go? How will they get there?

On November 4-5, a total of 25 Real Good Chairs will be dropped all over NYC, most of which will be GPS-enabled. You can follow all of the chairs’ journeys here.
