Longer I Run - Peter Bradley

it's a beauty.

summa!

Happy first day of Summer!


I guess that means it's time for me to expose my pasty legs to the world. And to start sweating even more. And it means it's ALMOST time for baby to burst out. Yikes.

I don't know about you, but it has definitely been hot, hot, hot in D-town. It's been hangin in the 90s and let's just say Montastic is not a fan this year.

Something tells me there is an excessive amount of icy cold popsicles in my future.

Leonid Afremov - my new favorito artist

I wish I could buy them all.
Here are just a couple of the amazing paintings by artist Leonid Afremov.

I can't get enough of the colors, the imagery, the awesomeness. He sells hundreds of prints on his Deviant Art page. And larger scale images on his personal site. 

Man oh man...I want want want waaaaaaant these. I've been scrolling through his prints for about the last 45 minutes. Each one offers something slightly different from the next. 

Well, it IS my birthday this weekend. And I was going to get myself a new pair of purple-framed glasses. But alas, when I went to buy them they were out. Perhaps it's time to invest in some of this fantastico art.

Hope you enjoy these even half as much as me.

- no matter how good i am with my other 8 digits, i always bite the nails on my thumbs. i wonder what i have against them.

- i'm pretty sure that being almost 27 means my life-changing year was 3 years ago. and i'm pretty sure that means that my arthritic knees are getting closer to being age-appropriate.

- lately, OMG DONUTS.

- in roughly 9 weeks i'm going to be in charge of another human's life. shouldn't there be some sort of prerequisite for this responsibility? besides sex.

- it's been way too long since i purchased some new jams. any suggestions? i'm open to any mind-blowing, leg-boogying tunes.

What song are you listening to?

Such a simple question, and so revealing of people. LOVE this idea.

Walk around your city (New York in this case) and ask people with headphones what song they're listening to.


Some people are listening to what you might expect (the guy listening to Marley for example). And others are surprising (the Gaga fan).

It's so interesting to me to see what soundtrack people are giving their day-to-day life. I don't ever wear my headphones as I walk around town. Unless I'm exercising, crankin on some work at my desk, or on an airplane (to distract me from my anxiety of flying) my headphones stay at home.

I generally feel like they block out the experience of your environment. I guess that's why this video double interests me...people who choose to block out some external noises for other ones that they choose.

Hmm. It begs the question---what song are YOU listening to right now?

Me? I'm listening to Mike Doughty - Rising Sign.

can't wait for this weekend

Montastic is headed off to CA to see some fam and friends...and likely experience awkward bump-touching.
