Another new Timber shirt! This one is on it's way to me now, along with this one that I finally ordered. That puts my Timber shirt count at 7. Did I mention that I really like his shirts? Now I'm just waiting for this one to come out in a colour I like more...

Here's a new ad to the want list from Penguin. Love the classic covers, as a lot of people do, so I think it's a great idea for them to basically just give you 100 of them. It would make it a lot easier to display the ones you really love rather than having to prop a few books up on the shelf.

Back when I mentioned this picture that I love, I mentioned Boler trailers. This little Scamp trailer reminds me of a Boler, and has been beautifully re-done inside! I would love to own something like that. Not that we camp, but I can always dream (both about camping, and about owning a camper...)

A quick trip to the Globe & Mail.com today to find a review yielded some interesting news:
A-Ha are still together (but not for long). Who knew??
Seriously, they have 9 albums, 4 of them released in the 2000's? Wow. I really had no idea.

Since I got on the topic of music I like in my last post, I thought I'd let you know that lately I cannot stop listening to The Acorn. Since I first heard them on a sleepy morning at track & field a few years back I've been a fan, but lately it's like I don't want to listen to anything else. Sometimes I force myself to, but really, my first instinct lately is always to go for The Acorn. They are perfect for this time of year. I wish their current tour had come the the Starlight and I had gotten to make them a poster (though that also would have been somewhat scary to do...)

So if everything goes as planned, and all my work gets done, we're leaving on a mini road trip tour of Ontario this weekend. Can't wait. I can definitely use the break right about now.

The picture above comes from this pretty great site here. Here's three more pretty awesome map covers.

So, as I've mentioned, I've had a number of tabs open waiting to be posted. Time to finally clear them out.

This may be my favourite Lunch Bag Art post yet. Clever funny, and a nice nod to the shark. Good one.

I can't believe I haven't linked to this yet: Barack Obama is Tired of Your Motherfucking Shit. Amazing. Kind of makes me want to listen to some books on tape. David Sedaris kind of makes me want to do that too. (I was reading him today and thinking about how much I love to hear him read.)

Plaid duct tape. Great idea. I kind of need this.

The smallest bank in America. Down home, honest people keeping other people's money in check the old fashioned way. Impressed.

New additions to the Penguin great ideas series on the Book Cover Archive. We own a couple of these from when the series first came out. Great idea. Little books, great graphic design. This one is, not surprisingly, one I kind of want to own. Definitely a favourite. I'm pretty into this and this too, both for the fact that they are Orwell, and the fact that they are classic Penguin styles. Really seems to suit Orwell.

I am loving this old S.O.S ad. The lettering, the illustration, the baby bear, all of it. (via BoxVox)

Jenna sent me this link to this pretty great salt & pepper shaker set. Love it. It was sold by the time I saw it though. Jenna said it was overpriced, but it still would have been tempting...

While I've known about the Alamo Drafthouse for awhile, I've never seen all of these posters they've had done. This Ferris Bueler one is pretty amazing. Thanks to Jennifer G. for sending that to me.
