So glad Patches is back.

More things from baconbaconbacon:
Here's something that's good for all health-conscious bacon lovers to know. It's kind of weird though. "Due to changes in pig breeding..." What changes in pig breeding changed their fat content?

This may be the best picture I've seen on My Parents Were Awesome yet.

Wow, there are some amazing looking pictures in this book. The drive in, the cop staring at the camera, the tree in the pool, the spotlight beams and the glowing lights. All amazing. I wonder what the rest of the book is like?

I can't believe I didn't link to this when I first saw it (thanks Josh Chong for reminding me): Handsome Gentleman's Club

Surprisingly I've never read the comic, but I am very excited for the movie version of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

I LOVE that shelf. I have no idea how big it is, and I'm sure it probably costs a ridiculous amount of money, but I am coveting it pretty hard right now. Here's what was said about it where I saw it on Design*Sponge: "Imagine it floating alone on the wall, merchandised with memories and other precious possessions. Beautiful and amazing." Could not agree more.

I made reference to My Parents Were Awesome the other night, and found out no-one I was with knew about it. I assumed everyone did. It can be pretty entertaining, and I know I've got some pictures of my dad that would go well on there. Whether he'd hate me for sharing them or not, that would be up for debate...

Recent highlights in my books include: Tom and Jan (LOVE the VW sweater. Vehicle/clothing matching is key.); Alan and Barbara (AMAZING.)

It's good to be reminded sometimes that your parents used to be young, and potentially awesome. Before they got old of course...

Speaking of families and photos, have you seen Awkward Family Photos before?

The Final Frontier has to be the best one I've ever seen on there. Hands down. Best.

I have seen some pretty great music boxes in the last few years (like these ones from Something's Hiding in Here), but the sound of these ones that The Lovely Package featured seems extra nice.

Seriously, I swear when I listened to You Are My Sunshine, I almost cried. So nice. I always find that song sounds somewhat tragic, and that aspect really comes through when you listen to the version they have up there.

Other highlights? The Simpsons, and valse d'amelie (1)

I find the first image in this Design Porn feature on James Deavin so striking. I love the idea behind that series, and all of the images look pretty amazing. I'm definitely going to have to give his site a good once over.

Mar/Apr film guide is done. Maybe now I'll be able to feel caught up on something. Oh wait, there's all the work I put off to get that done, and then our big March Break festival... Fun.
