over the rainbow

warning: explicit (and albeit, uncessary) verbage ahead!!

i know i said no more videos for a while, but ms eva happens to sing the absolute best fuckin version of somewhere over the rainbow ever. this is a video of her live performance of it. fan-fuckin-tastically beautiful.

there are no words for this...

one sentence

here's a nifty little website called one sentence i learned about from the almighty deb.
i read it fairly regularly, so it only seemed appropriate to post it here. it has a post secret type of feel to it, but instead it's where someone has written in and told a story their story in a single sentence. so, ya, check 'er out!

look ma, i'm an after picture!

on this, the 60th pound anniversary of Fat Mon...or Fattastic as I shall call her for the purposes of this blog... i am finally releasing the pictures. i have kept them hidden for a while. there have been demands to see them. in a way, this is therapeutic. for i am no longer Fattastic.
So, embarassed and proud at the same time, I present to you all a couple pictures of Fattatstic...juxtaposed with a recent picture of Montastic.
TADA.

ok, one more video

apologies for just posting videos of music lately. but as another new fav artist of mine sung "everything is music, let it play."
however, that is not this artist or this song.
this is another gem from Mat Kearney. I posted one last week. I think I am in love with his voice. plus his name is spelled with only one "t" which is fairly rad. AND he has some songs that have some soul to them and are a little more hiphop-y. it's as though he is writing his songs especially for me. of course, i haven't posted any like that from him. But whatevs!
this purdy little diddy goes out to my ms perry....cuz i know she enjoyed the last song i posted of his.

my adventure is about to begin


Now, as you may know, Montastic loves words. But I also have always loved paper and paper cutting and stationary.
This guy is my new favorite. Rob Ryan. He does insanely intricate, and supremely bad-ass paper cutting...and intertwines some carefree little words in the mix. He also puts his designs on tiles and, well, I want to buy them. If only I had the money!
To sum up, enjoy a couple of my favorites below....or just go to his blogaroony.

Give the images a little clicksy for a bit larger view.




PS. If someone would like to buy me the "because i'm so happy" tile for my bday, that would be wholly acceptable. i'd much prefer the "my adventure is about to begin" tile...however that one is not currently on sale.

Friday Fun-Jam



this song defines my weeksy.
more posts to come later today...but right now I want to just be sad about the fact we have no hot water and Montastic cannot take a shower before work...and still smells like a smokey bar.
Guess it's a hat day!
