Signs of the Zodiac
Anyone who knows me knows I’m pretty happy with my status as a Scorpio. I fit about 90% of the traits and am proud of even the bad ones. I’m crushing on this series of prints from Boston’s JSGD, a typographic representation of each signs high points that’s color customizable.

Listen: Last Christmas
I’ve been listening to holiday songs, some more in the spirit than others, for the past few days. Hoping to get into the spirit and get past the usual stress and anxiety this time of year leaves seeping from my pores. And you know what? I think it’s working. You won’t find sugary sweet carols here, but then again I’m not really that kind of girl. Check out my Last Christmas mix right here if you need a little kick.

A Year in New York
A Year in New York from Andrew Clancy on Vimeo.
Freelance cameraman Andrew Clancy started filming his life in New York City and just kept going. Eventually he stopped, and when he did he sat down and edited this amazing 4-minute short film – A Year in New York.
Posted In see itLiving in New York I’d grab my Canon 7D, or S95, and shoot footage of what was going on around me. It seemed like a never ending project and you could stay filming life in New York for a long time.
Eventually I put the camera down and started to edit. Here’s the end result, it’s a bit rough and ready but that’s life in the Big Apple I guess.
Turn up the volume or put your in earphones for the beautiful song We Don’t Eat by Irishman James Vincent McMorrow.

Pinterest + Food + Cocktails
Ever wonder how someone keeps a large quantity of links in order? Well, if you’re me and they’re five years worth of recipes you amass a 150 page single-spaced word processing document full and make your life a living hell. I used to share more foodie things here than I do now, but updating the file has become too much and I didn’t want to just toss the lot of them. So this weekend I started a massive undertaking – adding each and every one to my Food and Cocktail board on Pinterest. (I’m hoping to finish within the month, so take this as your warning either to follow or unfollow that particular board.) I hope you all find at least one recipe to enjoy!
