i just saw Broken Embraces/Los Abrazos Rotos yesterday and i have to admit, one of the reasons why i love watching almodovar movies is looking at the bright happy rooms (even if people are often getting murdered in them), not unlike this picture.  just replace that dog with a lazy cat or a fun, low-maintenance human and you’ve got my ideal home!

Oh god, both of those things are possible if we move in together, and then we can read in our bright room and murder so many people! Yay future life!

My DNA Fragrance has been engineering personalized fragrance from human DNA Genetic Codes for the last 3 years and recently partnered with John Reznikoff, founder and President of University Archives and the world’s pre-eminent historical hair collector.

A little bird made a nest on my robot! I think this is pretty good evidence of alternate stable solutions for Nature in the Future.

The worst part about living in California is that when I am internet talking to all you East Coasters (and Texan!) and you go to lunch, my brain-stomach connection gets all screwed up and I start to get hungry at 10am.
