Things I Love Thursday – Nov 12th 09

Gah, maybe I should call this Things I Love Saturday… For the record, I started a draft of this post on Thursday! So it’s at least an attempt to be on time.

Nitzer+Ebb+003

Nitzer Ebb: Love the new tracks on nitzerebbicp.com, which kinda prompted me to start listening to them again for the first time in months. I’m also reminded of what an awesome/hilarious video Fun To Be Had is. (I still want to remake it on my camcorder shot for shot one day, srsly). I keep listening to ‘Warsaw Ghetto’ over and over. Also, young Doug McCarthy is cute!

TiltShiftGen & PhotoForge: Photo editing on the iPhone is a ridiculous amount of fun! I’ve spent many a boring/hellish commute totally absorbed in these apps this week. Some attempts (you can check everything I edited & uploaded out here):

Also, I figured out the ultimate thing to do when feeling stressed out or overwhelmed: watch a slideshow of Hubble images set to one of the Solfeggio frequencies (this one in particular – 528Hz: Miracle/DNA Repair – is my favourite).

I love the hilarious birthday video posted by Coilhouse last week:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COILHOUSE! from Coilhouse Magazine on Vimeo.

Finally, and on a related note, here’s a totally amazing photo of Zoetica (and her awesome glasses) by Lou O’Bedlam:

Zoetica Ebb is ridiculously inspiring. I’m not sure how she manages to do so many awesome things (like be a talented photographer, illustrator, magazine editor and have a killer fashion sense all at the same time), but I definitely want to be like her when I grow up! Haha.

Here’s another recent photo of her that I absolutely love:

PS
. I can’t believe I left this out the first time! But what I loved more than anything else this week was this: planning my return to NYC! There is no city in the world I love more than New York and just thinking about it makes my heart happy.

Manhattan Skyline, Sundown

Also (and this is really the last thing for real this time), this quote:

“I am that, you are that, all this is that and that’s all there is.”

(Originally read this while skimming through Deepak Chopra’s The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and for some reason it brings to mind the Beastie Boys’ song ‘That’s It That’s All‘.)
