Eat Pray Love Trailer

 

I’m finding it a bit weird to watch this with Julia Roberts in the lead role – I don’t particularly like her as an actress (I’ve never seen why everyone is so fascinated by her and spend movies with her in them distracted trying to figure it out).  Also I’ve seen a few interviews with Elizabeth Gilbert (the movie is based on her book by the same name – which I reviewed earlier) so I can’t picture anyone else doing the things in the book.  However, I will give the movie a chance and the trailer is redeemed by the inclusion of the song ‘Dog Days are Over’ by Florence + The Machine.  The Florence + The Machine album ‘Lungs’ is one of my latest purchases :)

Inspiring cool saying/motto/thing…

Found on these two blogs: Today will be better. and the pursuit of happyness.

Scott Garner

Just doing some more stumbling around on the internet.  Today I came across Scott Garner and his flickr photostream titled ‘Words and Pictures’.  Me likes.  Here are some examples…

Pretty.  You can buy prints of them on etsy too :)

Taylor Mali

Being a teacher, I have seen this video by Taylor Mali, entitled “What Teachers Make” a few times and I quite like it.  It’s good to remember when you have had a crap day and are questioning why you bothered to become a teacher.

I stumbled across another video today which has been made to go with one of his poems.  I like it because teaching Secondary school students I see/hear what he is on about on a daily basis.

Entrepreneurs Can Change the World

This video is kinda inspiring, even though I don’t consider myself and entrepreneur.  Makes you just want to believe in yourself and give things a go.

Spoon me…

So, my friend and I have decided that vintage teaspoons are kinda cute.  I think I should get me some to go with my Crown Lynn colourglaze set of cups and saucers, similar to the set in the pic of a previous post of mine.

I have stumbled across these spoons – they are up-cycled and they make me laugh.  Want!

I found them online through the felt. website.  They are made by blackswan.  They also make another spoon design which reads “Wanna spoon..” – cute!

P.S. – I also still want one of the Mc Alpine jugs that are in the picture on my Crown Lynn post :)

Paper Romance

Let’s all love the new Groove Armada single ‘Paper Romance’ because I certainly do :)
Groove Armada were fabulous at the Auckland Big Day Out this year too.
