{ A Pixar Conspiracy Theory }

A conspiracy theory regarding the Pixar movies? Sounds pretty wack-a-doodle to me, at least that's what I first thought...
I heard about this theory a few month back, and since it's been lingering with me for a while I kept looking (I have a 2 year old so it's not like Pixar movies aren't in the rotation pretty regularly) for any overlap in the films and low and behold, I did find a few! I won't get into mine, because Jon Negroni does more than an amazing job pointing out each overlap and signs. I mean those guys and gals at Pixar are pretty clever, I'm sure they weaved in some great 'easter eggs' for those bright eyed enough to see them. 

Negroni believes (and I might too, it's pretty convincing), that all of the Pixar movies actually exist within the same universe (beginning with Toy Story).  Every movie is connected and implies major events that influence every single movie.   

You will definately need to read more of this article to really appreciate it, here is one of my favorite mentions. {via}

In the beginning of Up, Carl is forced to give up his house to a corporation because they are expanding the city. Think on that. What corporation is guilty for polluting the earth and wiping out life in the distant future because of technology overreach?


Buy-n-Large (BNL), a corporation that runs just about everything by the time we get to Wall-E. In the “History of BNL” commercial from the movie, we’re told that BNL has even taken over the world governments. Did you catch that this one corporation achieved global dominance? 

Interestingly, this is the same organization alluded to in Toy Story 3:

Now, don't worry, I haven't left the Loon. This is just the name of the cute new site I found with hot2death... like literally cause these photos are so old, gentlemen from the olden days when cameras become more widely available... I know! so silly! and definately worth the giggle time. I even love the site's tagline, Where Early Photography Meets Extreme Hotness... I lol'ed at that. They even have a calendar if pin-ups and beef cakes aren't your thing. {via}

{ Kanye Wes Anderson }

This was too good not to share. Kayne West lyrics matched up surprisingly well to Wes Anderson (movie) screen shots. Enjoy! {via}

{ I'll Take them All }

Found this retro site via A Beautiful Mess, and one clicked led to another, and here I was, on a page with hundreds of vintage black cats (in for an audition). This is so fabulous! I mean, so many of the same kitties! and look at those cute old men and spinsters ladies. {via}

{ Eye Candy: Hey Girl }

Previous student and peer, Ashley not only is rockin' out at Yale this semester, but has made just about the best tumbler out there... I know what you are thinking, how can there be something better than Paula Dean riding things? But for all the architects / architecture students out there, this is gold! Architecture Ryan Gosling is my newest obsession. I mean, just look at those eyes and tell me you didn't wish he was whispering those nerdy references to you. {via}


Update: another nerdy Ryan Gosling craze with fonts, also worth checking out. {via}

{ Eye Candy: Cats + Classic Works of Art }

Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus

Who doesn't love a good classic work of art? Now infuse it with kitties (or one very cuddly looking orange cat) and I'm lovin' it! Great Artists' Mews does just that and very pompously too... check out this exert: Our name is Zarathustra. We are a cat. According to our assistant (named by ignoramuses as our “owner”) We are the best cat in the world. By the will of the gods, We have been relieved of our animal desires, therefore Our postprandial time  is given to the reflections on lofty matters. We are so gracious in Our enjoyment of repasts. And We are also very very fond of Art. {via}

{ Panda Furries }

Let me apologize for the reblogging of this post, but I just had to share. This is so bizzare and funny to me! First off Scientists have to wear furries for the release of pandas into the wild, and secondly, does anyone else find it sad they couldn't get proper carriers for the pandas? it looks like those are just rubbermaid containers... like the one I keep my Christmas decorations in, except these have four holes drilled into it... poor poor panda... {via}

the cute quota of the day! enjoy! I mean, how can you not? look at those noses!

{ A Delicious Science Experiment }

Last weekend (I know I'm behind on the updates) I had awesome visitors come up and stay with me. While here, Beth suggested we find this new ice cream place, Chill Custom Creamery. Located off Northshore, near Morrell, it's interiors were done well, but typical, but that wasn't this place's appeal. What makes Chill differenet than the rest is you chose 1 of 3 bases for your ice cream: chocolate, vanilla, or soy-something-vanilla. The base looked like cream, not ice cream. Once your base is selected you then chose your mix-ins and flavor drops and syrups yourself, since you pay by the once ... I think it was $0.50 an once (so about $4-6 a HUGE cup) and once you are all done they then put your metal cylinder cup in a kitchen-aid mixer and add liquid nitrogen to it, making it real 'ice cream'. It looked like an evil science house once all four ice creams started going... and not to mention soooo creamy and delicious. This place was probably some of the better ice cream I've ever had. It was a great way to end the holiday weekend, enjoy the pics!

The cream base... I went with Vanilla

Some of the many many mix-ins... I went with a flavor drop of coffee, cheesecake, oreos, marshmellows, and cocoa crispies, I know strange and chocolately but sooo good!

Loved the graphic layout of their signs and marketing material + the colors were my fave!

Here's it's starting to mix!

cute vintage inspired chairs (and I heart the color!)

It's alive! ...and delish!

Beth + John loving the ice cream

Mike + Me! so happy for the ice cream science adventure!

It's basically a 'craigslist' but all items (or services) are only $5.00! yeah, that's right $5! what's even better than $5?!? how about the services this site offers? One of my faves is a fellow will call up your father and wish him a happy dad's day! another top ranking for me was I will write you a lo-fi indie pop song for $5. It's pretty damn cute! check it! {via}
