Happy Weekend

THIS BLOG IS NOT DEAD.

That being said, I have, without a doubt, been tremendously lazy about posting.

What made this even worse was Chrome's new policy that didn't allow you to sign in using two different  gmail accounts {unless you changed settings [which I was too lazy and a bit reluctant to do,(thanks too massive landslides of work at 5pm everyday)]} because of which my Reader remained unattended.

Sigh.

Did you just notice what I did with those brackets, for a sentence within a sentence with a justification?

And that is the correct order FYI.





Here are two weeks worth of 'Happy Weekend' stories!

I don't suffer from any kind of OCD but this is all kinds of awesome.

A heartbreaking story linked to chat history.

Photographing great style obviously means that some of it will seep into you, right? That's probably why Elle did a piece on all of Garance Dore's 'stuff.' (Is it weird that I love the bunch of Garance's Illustrations the most?)  

The 12 Months of Neon Love Project is one of the sweetest, simplest, nothing projects.

Emily from Cupcakes & Cashmere color co-ordinated shoes with food. I loved this post!

In defence of doodling.

Improv Everywhere's 'Say Something Nice' was one of NY's best summer projects.

I didn't know Helsinki had such a great street style culture that they had a whole site dedicated to it! 

For some reason I really like the design aesthetic of the 'Museum of Obsolete Objects' Youtube Website.

I know I'd have dealt with my rejected scripts much better if I had read this advice from a former writer on Late Night with Conan O'Brian earlier.

The lies we tell everyday explained in colour and typo.

The Walls Notebook lets you doodle on 80 walls in NYC.

He was 4 years old when the Twin Towers were hit. 10 years on, he made 'The Second Day.'

The present OVS hoardings (including the pretty girl in the little dress on the cyan Vespa that we see on the streets of Bombay) were shot by Scott Schuman. Who knew?

PHEW! OVERLOAD!

Happy Weekend

The sole highlight this week was the Anna Andolan and people power. I know someone who got detained in a prison cell (and wasted no time in updating his Facebook status via his phone while behind bars) I know many others who went to protest wearing their Anna hats, despite the rains pissing down on us. Anyway...

I cannot handle these bracelets. I think I'm fainti

I just found infographics from over the world in one place. Get outta here Visual.ly, you're going to be such a time suck.

Please don't eat these coasters.

The editor of Open magazine wrote this spectacular piece on India's present anti-corruption frenzy for the NYT. (Thanks Su!)

Listen up matrons! This is how you make dorms seem less like dungeons. Howlarious!

Under 18 Fashion Bloggers I didn't know about.

Ooodledoodle!

Happy Looong Weekend

The looong weekend is finally here. Though I don't seem to be feeling excited about it at all.
As opposed to everyone I know who's driving out of the city, I'm going to be at home, horizontal... just the way I like it. There will be food. There will be doodling. There will be music.
What more do you need?

Leigh of Marvellous Kiddo put up this picture that made me melt.

Blik, my favourite Wall Graphics guys made the cutest wall puzzles for kids

Jugaad and "...the art of holistic (and therefore lateral) thinking, of unbound, resilient creativity, and of improvisation and rapid prototyping under severe constraints."

Everyone in America is raving about tatt.ly

These fictional brands were made only for the movie!

For everyone who likes it old school, Postcardly turns your emails into postcards.

I could learn a few lessons from this girl about making skinny and flatchested look good and from this girl about wearing white on white.

P.S.: The Happy Weekend sticker is still under construction. Hang on.

Oh yeah! Happy Weekend.

Yes! I'm doing 'happy weekend' posts from now on.
(Look! I've even got a sticker and everything!)
I consume so much off the interwebz that it's only natural that I  bookmark the things I love, no matter what category they fall under. So, here is...

The most refreshing article on How to Talk to Little Girls.

I loved Dot, the world's smallest stop motion animation film. And this week, W+K released Gulp, the world's largest stop motion animation film shot on a Nokia N8.

I had no idea Hunter S. Thompson had taken a dig at Henry Miller in the title of this piece.

Waiting for October to look this denim and another country to dress this lazy.

Musicians talk about the worst gigs they've ever played.
