IC! Berlin has been on my “I want this, but I shouldn’t spend so much, but they are so awesome, but they’re too expensive, but I really really want them” list for a few years. They are indestructible - made out of sheet metal. The hinges are made by folds and cuts in the metal - meaning there are no screws and delicate hinge-parts that can be smashed easily. Started by of course - German design students, who ended up splitting, which left IC! Berlin still around, and a new company with the same concept (just different hinges) called Mykita. For the base price range being around US $385, I think they are worth it, but still a big chunk out of the pocket. Suiting if your like me: you always break your glasses, but not if your one who often looses them! Both have some great webistes also:

| You may not want to see Ornella nude for Playboy Italy from the 60’s after seeing that she was in Playboy in the 60’s, but her music gives you a handful of wonderful Italian dreams: You may be in Lake Como, or with a beautiful Italian Girl, or eating some gnocci, or all three! I first heard her in Ocean’s 12 - the opening scene singing L’ Apuntamento. She’s kind of like the Italian Ella Fitzgerald: you just know her voice - it can’t be confused with anyone else’s. Even her recent albums (almost 50 years of producing them) are great, although they are more modern with synthesized sounds - it’s still Ornella. I guarantee you that you’ll want to get Rosetta Stone and start learning Italian once you get hooked to Vanoni! |  |

This film is a great mystery horror! Much better than the over-done shit we see in theaters today that scare with excessive gore and surprise loud sounds. Very much like a Hitchcock: the ending is a complete surprise. One of the few mysteries that you really cannot guess the outcome. The main character’s girlfriend is pretty hot too.. |

Album: Old Sand Mountain Cast King (who unfortunately died 2007) has an amazing album. It’s not just the music, but the fact that he did it in his late 70s! His music isn’t quite country - at least not what we consider to be “modern country” (even though he was a member of the “Country Drifters” in his early life), but has almost a “Johnny Cash if he had lived that long” type of feel. The stories are fun to listen to, and very catchy - as well as very funny. I wish he had lived longer to produce some more, this is definitely on my top album lists. When I’m driving I can’t stop repeating out loud “Everybody crazy about Peggy, everybody loves my girl. Everybody crazy ’bout Peggy, everybody wants my girl…” |
| It is really hard for me to believe that these are done in pencil. It makes me wish I tried harder in my drawing classes through grade school. Beautifully amazing.
