Oh what a nice idea

Something about these little garden tools from Hermes just makes me happy. It is such a lovely blend of luxury and utility. For $330.00 they are certainly extravagant, but at the same time, I just can't knock 'em. I don't think I could ever justify buying them for myself, but as a gift they would be amazing: way better than jewelry.

I met the walrus

"In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message."
