My Inspiration

 A bunch of fall images I find inspiring! Many are from Free People.

Right now I'm home watching TV and just came across Denmark's Next Top Model. I'm feeling really embarrassed that my country can't produce better TV. It's the lamest thing I've ever seen and it should be canceled immediately. I'd rather sit and stare into a wall that watch that crap. OMG. I have however been enjoying many of the new American shows that have just premiered. I have a few favorites so far: there's New Girl featuring a cute and quirky Zooey Deshanel, Terra Nova which has a good mix of sci-fi and dinosaurs, and A Gifted Man which is a modern medical drama and ghost story. Then there are my regulars, Gossip Girl, Fringe, Big Bang Theory and The Lying Game. Lot's of good TV for me this fall!

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour

It's not every day that I feel like recommending Danish music, but today I'll make an exception. I'm not sure what it is about the Asteroids Galaxy Tour that I like. Maybe it's the name or the psychedelic videos, maybe it's their charismatic lead singer Mette Lindberg, or perhaps it's the groovy 70s vibe they explore in their music, but I really do like them. The song featured in Apple's iPod commercial "Around the Bend" is my favorite and the video is very cool. Have a look below and get ready to be transported back to another time.

The Benefits - Seize the Day

I love this song! I've always loved the Dick Turpin theme and these guys made it into a really rad song. And they're Danish! The funniest part is it turns out I went to school with the lead singer haha.

My Mail Me Art 2 Submission

Yesterday was all about making the Mail Me Art deadline. I haven't participated before but I really wanted to send something in just to be a part of it. I think it's a great concept and a lot of the artwork is fantastic. It was hard to do in time as I haven't had any time off of work lately, but I did it! The artwork didn't quite turn out as I had planned but I'm quite happy with the whole feel of it. And I've never painted with acrylics before so that was fun. I wanted to make an old fashioned Danish postman and I think he turned out okay. I made him into a jumping jack and he's attatched to the evelope with pins. Fortunately my post office guaranteed me that the date stamp would be from today so I should be able to make the deadline. Yay.
