Soo Much

One of our lovely readers, Carolynne, wrote about how she was doing the 365 Project this year, and thus has inspired alex and myself to do it too.

The 365 Project is where you take one picture a day, for an entire year, and post it in a collection online. Some people use flickr, tumblr, livejournal, blogs.. or 365project.org. It’s fun and amazing to look back at all the pictures you’ve taken, and literally see how your life changed in the course of a year.

Back in 2009 I started and completed a full year of the 365 Project (you can see it here), and I started one for 2010, but didn’t last 2 months.

You can see my 365 project for this year here: http://365project.org/lovecrafted/365
And you can see Alex’s here: http://365project.org/alexfisk/365

It’s not too late to start your own. If you start today, just make sure you end it on Jan 6 2012.

Don’t be shy, it doesn’t tell us who voted for what..

1. Where were you when 2010 began?

So for those of you who voted in our poll asking what we should be for Halloween, thanks!

This year Alex and I went as Shaun of the Dead and a Zombie. Alex’s costume was way more fun to put together than mine – for me, I just painted my face white and sprayed fake blood on some clothes I got from the thrift store.

The Shaun of the Dead costume was quite easy, the hardest part, believe it or not, was finding the shirt!

I’m not sure if it is something we will out grow with age, but Alex and I have this almost obsession with decorating our apartment with items that pertain to our interests.  I think most people, when decorating their places, will stick to a certain color scheme or “look”, but Alex and I see something like my Tardis cookie jar, or his legendary edition Halo Reach statue and this “That would look awesome in the apartment!”

But the one item we obsess over more than anything is art and prints.  We already own more art than we can display in our tiny apartment, but some how we always find ourselves buying (or wanting to buy) more. Below you will find some of our favorites (that we either own, or want to own).

For those of you who are unaware, this will be my first Halloween that I have my own place to decorate as I please.  I know it’s not even October yet, but I like to prepare early!  So tonight I will take you on a tour of how I’ve decorated my first apartment for Halloween. *I apologize for the quality of the pictures. The lighting in my apartment isn’t great and I don’t have a working digital camera, so these were taken with my phone and/or Alex’s iPod.

This weeks site we love is Eric Tan’s blog :   The Art (and Random Adventures) of Eric Tan

Yesterday Alex and I visited Disneyland for the first time in months.  One of our favorite things to do there is visit the gallery and look through all the prints they have for sale.  While we were doing so, I noticed a number of prints by Eric Tan, thus why he came to mind today while we were trying to figure out what to make this week’s “Site we love”.

Alex and I are both huge fans of retro style art, and if you apply that to pop culture, we’re in love.  Eric Tan does this beautifully, probably more beautifully than almost anyone else I know. So be sure to visit his blog and scroll through his posts. He’s got some great ones from Wall-E, The Incredibles and Indiana Jones!

A few years ago, when I was slowly turning from a movie girl to a tv show girl, I started to become obsessed with underrated tv shows that were (in my opinion) cancelled before they got a chance to become great.  Below is a list of my top 5 favorite underrated tv shows that you have (probably) never seen. *Note: I’m leaving all UK tv shows out of this list.

5. Dead Like Me

Dead Like Me is a show about a small group of reapers “living” in Seattle, WA where their job is to remove the souls of people, preferably right before they die, and escort them until they move on into their afterlife.  The show has that dark fairytale feel that Fuller tends to give his shows.  It  also has the intelligence and wit that you find on Fuller’s shows as well.  A perfect mixture of comedy and drama, with a dash of grim.

4. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

Alex actually got me into Studio 60 recently, and I am REALLY sad that it got cancelled, but I can see why.  Going up against a show like 30 Rock, which is in your face funny, Studio 60 is much more smart and witty.  Two totally different kinds of comedy. Even though you can compare it to 30 Rock, it is different in many ways. The cast is brilliant, I love watching Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford play off each other.

3. Freaks and Geeks

This show has everybody before they were somebody.  Okay, not EVERYBODY.. but some big names in comedy were on this show.  James Franco, Seth Rogen and Jason Segel to name a few. The show follows 2 groups of kids though high school in the 80s. The D&D playing, star wars watching, comic book reading “geeks”, and the music loving, class skipping, party going “freaks”.  The show is hilarious and brilliant. The characters are SO easy to relate to, and the cast is great.  This show was definitely ahead of it’s time.

2. Wonderfalls

Every time I try and describe this show to someone, I feel silly.  The show is about a sarcastic, antisocial slacker with a college degree who works in retail and lives in a trailer park named Jaye.  One day, out of no where, all the toy animals start talking to her and telling her to do things that end up helping people. It sounds ridiculous, but it’s actually hilarious. The dialogue is hysterical, the cast is full of unique and talented actors. The show is from the same creator as Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies, so it has the fairy tale elements.

1. Firefly

Surprise, surprise! I’ll admit, this show is pretty well known for Sci-Fi fans, but outside of that, not too many people have seen this show.  This show was my “gateway drug” into sci-fi tv.  A space western, the new frontier of the future, the show follows a team of outlaws trying to make their way in the verse. With the wit that you find in all of Joss Whedon’s shows and a cunning cast, Firefly was definitely a show before it’s time.

In attempts to start updating more regularly, I’m starting up a new weekly topic.. Sites We Love. So, for our first site we chose TeeFury.

Teefury is a t-shirt webstore that sells a new shirt every 24 hours, for only $9.  It’s quite a brilliant idea if you think about it.  Each day a different shirt, 24 hours and it’s gone. So if they’re selling a shirt you like.. you have to decide if you really want the shirt, or if you can live with out it.  It just sucks if they’re selling a shirt you want and you are broke, or if you go a day without checking the site and miss a shirt you wanted.  This has happened to me a few times.

Shirts Alex and I have ordered from TeeFury:

Shirts we’ve missed out on (due to lack of money or forgetting to check the site):

I know what you’re thinking, a Halloween post in September, but I start preparing for Halloween early. Everyone who knows me, knows how much I love Halloween.  This year one of my oldest, yet cheesiest, dreams is coming true.  I am dating someone on Halloween, which means…
MATCHING COSTUMES!

It’s NOT lame!  Okay, it is a bit, but I’m not giving Alex an option on the one.

We are having some trouble deciding what to be. Care to help?
