From extolling the virtues of lengthy blog posts…

…to a blog post of a picture and nothing more. I am a walking contradiction.
Sure, it’s all basically advertising but my feet yearn for these cuddly knitted Nikes, they look so comfy.

Poor Stephen Dorff

June 16th, 2010Posted by katiesol

It has come to my attention today that everyone hates Stephen Dorff.
What is up with that?
He has many fine films to his name, including Blade (actually, I didn’t like Blade all that much) and, er, that Britney Spears video (hey, it was emotional! She tried to kill herself in the bath! Guys!). Ok, actually he [...]

Quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever seen

May 13th, 2010Posted by katiesol

Brilliant video of a random bunch of guys who sing Lady Gaga hits acapella, complete with brilliant dance moves and beat boxing. It’s like what Glee would be like if Glee was good.

Wild things

May 10th, 2010Posted by katiesol

Kate super loved Where The Wild Things Are, and now that it’s out on DVD and BluRay she has a good reason to gush about it and berate you for not feeling the same way.

April 17th, 2010Posted by katiesol

I may have felt like a total nerd as I wandered around Holland Park, armed as I was with my Polaroid, Lomo and EP-1, but I took some of my favourite ever photos so it was worth it.

Piano-improv makes everything more fun

March 16th, 2010Posted by katiesol

Oh Internet, I adore you. Here’s reason #425,341:

Is this Ben Folds? Because it looks like Ben Folds and sounds like Ben Folds but I just don’t know for sure.
UPDATE: It’s not Ben Folds. But it does make me want to listen to Ben Folds.

I suspect it’s known as ‘growing up’

March 15th, 2010Posted by katiesol

I’ve forgotten almost everything from when I was a kid – when, how and why did this happen? I must not have been paying enough attention or something, because I can only remember about a day’s worth of stuff from the first sixteen years of my life. And what made me realise this?

Shameful. Thank goodness [...]

Like tea, only better

February 8th, 2010Posted by katiesol

Cosy knits for your tea – tea + knitting = The Best. Sure, you could pay $15 for this, but I reckon it’d be pretty easy to knit yourself.

Hanger tea – because teaspoons are for losers and those stupid strings always end up in the cup

Typewriter teapot – God, yes. I just love that this [...]

What if Wes Anderson ‘rebooted’ Spiderman?

February 4th, 2010Posted by katiesol

So somebody somewhere woke up to the fact that Tobey Maguire is awful and the entire Spiderman franchise has been ruined by his sloppy face and rubbish acting. In the absence of a time machine to go back and wipe the whole unfortunate incident out, they’re just giving it another go by ‘rebooting’ the franchise. [...]
