From extolling the virtues of lengthy blog posts…

July 5th, 2010Posted by katiesol

…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.

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 [...]

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. [...]

Pure unadulterated grade-A awesomeness

February 4th, 2010Posted by katiesol

Unborn children of mine take note: this is what your future holds.

I’d rather have the Lego version, to be honest.

Waterfall sink – like an infinity pool in your kitchen. Yes please.

As good a motto as any.

Finally, a use for all those old boring books I buy from library sales because they look nice but actually [...]

Getting excited about books: The Unnamed

January 24th, 2010Posted by katiesol

I’m really irritatingly fussy about books. I have a really specific taste which I’ve never managed to verbalise properly, and can’t help but imagine all kinds of pretentions and arrogances in most novels which probably aren’t even there.
There are just two authors whose books I’ve enjoyed sufficiently to feverishly scan the shelves just in case [...]

Great finds from around the internet

January 23rd, 2010Posted by katiesol

Just a few of the brilliant things I’ve come across lately. Needless to say, I want them all.
Origami tea bags – Beautiful origami green berry tea bags by Natalia Ponomareva. Just a concept for now.

BookBook – A MacBook cover that looks like an old book from TwelveSouth. Lush, but it’ll set you back $80.
Amazing chairs [...]
