come out, come out you closet Friday Night Lights fans

I’m not even going to try and justify my obsession with Friday Night Lights, all I can say is it’s f’ing amazing. The more I get into it, the more my friends come out of the woodworks and admit they are obsessed with it too. Well, this post is dedicated to a perfect example of that. My friend Sergio, of the famous White Hot Top Five on Current TV, made a short film about Friday Night Lights. If you watch the show you will seriously pee your pants, and if you don’t watch the show, you will after watching this. So, without further ado I present to you Friday Night Lights Crying…

is anyone else obsessed with birthdays?

…because I am!!! and I just found a half birthday calculator, which is a-mazing. For as long as I can remember my mom has been full force birthdays and more than half force half birthdays:)

So, for all you birthday and half birthday lovers enjoy this great half birthday calculator!

And remember, a half birthday is just as great as a whole one!

linkable laughter

Last night I was in bed watching Hook on my computer (thank you very much netflix on demand you are the love of my life), and a friend sent me a link to the video below. With all these views and how awesomely entertaining this is, I can’t believe I’ve never seen it before. I don’t think I need to say anything more…so enjoy the laughter and amusement that this video will bring you!

pop music (my secret vice)

I used to be embarrassed to admit that I love pop music… It’s not my everyday musical genre of choice, but there are definitely times when it’s exactly what I want.

So on that note…DJ Earworm has made it more acceptible as a listening choice with his awesome pop music mashups. I’m big on mashup dj’s anyway, but when I found this stuff and realized it was all pop my heart practically skipped a beat. ahhh love.

Anyway, here is one of his mashups I really enjoyed, check out his other stuff too!

badvertising

I saw this last Friday on Gothamist, but didn’t want to take away from the high energy, yeye weekend mood, so I waited until today to post this little bit of news on saatchi & saatchi’s attempt to “revitalize” the I (heart) NY logo. YIKES. I would love to know which (not nice adjectives inserted here) creative director thought this was a genius redesign, because if I ever ran into this person I would make weird squirrel noises and flap around like a butterfly… you know because it would be funny and stuff.

* note, if this was a mean joke someone played on saatchi & saatchi…it’s um really mean and kind of hilarious- but if you know this was a joke, let me know so I can add in the fact that this amateur, 17million dollar attempt at a redesign is, in fact, and thankfully, not real.

party for your ears and eyes

Happy Friday all!! So today I wanted to post a video I saw on my friends blog TouchE*plode. The music makes me really happy, and the video is wondermazing (so good I had to mix wonderful and amazing).

…ps if you don’t like it, give it a chance because towards the end the colors in the video will make your eyes go, “oo…ooo…yessssssss!”

Yippity DoDa it’s friday! Have a great weekend!

DDCLAB party in soho

I’m going to do what I shouldn’t do, but I’m going to do it because I’m excited. So, doing something I shouldn’t do because of personal excitement makes doing it ok. right?!? Good, glad you followed that thought process!

Last week I went to the DDCLAB Soho store opening with my friend Ryan who is the online graphic desinger for V Magazine (check out his pet project Spiral Mag). Anyway, A photo of me (along with a lot of people that are way too famous for me to be on the same page with) turned up on a fashion/trendsetting blog, William Yan.

This makes me happy:)

this is my happy pill, i am now sharing it with you (use when laughter is needed)

I’m totally obsessed with this video. If you’ve seen it, you should watch it again. If you haven’t…I wish I could experience what you are about to.

I think it’s like potato chips, you want to put the bag down, but as long as there are chips left in the bag you gotta keep munching away….you can’t help yourself.

Hi, my name is Emily and I’m addicted to Drinking Out Of Cups (that’s when you say…Hi Emily).

change of postings.

I was on Twitter today trying to gain inspiration, or some sort of motivation for this blog post I said I was going to write in regards to being a part of Twitter during the election. But, while I was on Twitter @bbonndesign tweeted to @juliaroy that @aarondignan had mentioned her in a speech he gave at at interesting new york. I know it’s a lot of tweetings and tweeters to keep in mind, but there is a light at the end of the tweet… watch this video on how “an entire generation is growing up seeing life as a game”

I used to work for @aarondignan at Undercurrent when I first started this blog last year, and can easily say it’s those guys that got me started in the interactive world- they’re awesome; extremely smart and cutting edge thinkers…so watch the video and learn something:)!
