Wilfred.

Is anyone watching Wilfred? It is.. weird. It's a dark, existential stoner comedy but I dig it. Elijah Wood stars with this other guy who plays Wilfred: a grown man with an Australian accent and a beard who wears a dog costume the whole time. Between bowl packing and bong hits there is a frenemy-like, but close (imaginary) relationship between this burnt-out single late 20s early 30s dude and this dog. The funniest part is Wilfred's defiant and childish attitude juxtaposed with his adult mouth and actions. You get it. Check it out on FX, Thursdays at 10pm.

Thanks, girl.

A thank you to Urban Outfitters for having a whole section of their website specifically dedicated to Apartment decor. It makes those of us feeling like we might be in this limbo living situation for the rest of our lives feel that perhaps, somewhere out there in the cosmos, someone understands.

Additionally, the blog Apartment Therapy does the same thing for apartment dwellers with our mini kitchens with no counter space, slanting mini porches and carpet we'd never choose ourselves. You are "saving the world one room at a time!" So thanks, girl(s). It means so much.


sincerely,

I want Wednesday.

Shoes. Shoes, Dammit! I want a lot of 'em. Always do. Today is no exception. No matter how hard I try, how many days I make myself go without visiting Zappos or Endless, I always break down in the end of course discovering the key element that would just complete my wardrobe and solve all worldy problems. Today, I'm doing my best to tell you about only a few of them. It's real hard! I should probably see a specialist.

First of all, I have a major thing for the brand Seychelles. I own several pairs of their shoes and they are well made and pretty comf (for five-inch heels). This is a new pair they introduced called Witness (resisting "can I get a witness" reference). I like them in clay but there are two other colors that I know of. The thick heel makes them much easier to walk in. They'd go with everything, right?

Secondly, it being Summer and all (and a hot bitch, at that) I've been looking for sandals. The above pair, Wynne, by DV by Dolce Vita are muy bonita, no? Loving the turquoise; no other color is an option. I have a big soft spot for turquoise, baby.

And, I'm sorry, but I must have these flats with a big bow on top. Remember Sam & Libby's? Holy cow. I rocked Sam & Libby's like they were goin out of style (they were). I miss them so. DV by Dolce Vita's Maree flat resembles them with a little update along with the neutral color. Obviously I need these for nostalgia reasons and also cuteness, don't you think?

Stoked about this website.

Check it.

This site is called Moo and it's such a departure from your everyday online printing source. I was looking for a website that'd print calling cards for me, and came across this very 'outside the box' business. The graphic designs are so much fun. They definitely changed my opinion of business cards which is the plainer the better. If you have art like this, go for it! The site is very user-friendly and concise. I'm loving it. They make a variety of other products including sticker books, labels, and postcards. AND they have mini cards! I love a good mini card, you know. I could very easily pee my pants with excitement right now (too much?). Now I just have to choose! I'm having too much fun.

Rebrand.

Things are happening.

I renamed this blog. It is now called the life & times of jayteewo (me!) I like it better. I also changed the URL so be mindful of that. I won't be changing it again, I promise. The banner is different, too. Do you like it?! This all started when my hard drive failed last week and I lost everything on it. I'm still dealing with the heartbreak. NO. I did not back up my computer. Gosh. I will do that hence forth so stop bringing it up. It created a lot of problems for me (failure to plan is planning to fail) so I decided as I'm starting over with everything else, I'd make this blog just a little better while I'm at it! I'm so glad you're as excited about it as I am. Let me know what you think. For real this time. Unless you aren't into it. But do it anyway. Thanks.

Movie Monday.

You guys. I just watched Woman of the Year with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. This, after I heard about their life-long love affair from my Gramma. Scandal! Spenc wouldn't get a divorce because he was Catholic so they just lived next door to each other and everyone knew that they were lovasss! So it's not hard to believe their chemistry on screen at all. It's really intense and comically ahead of its time. Very good timing. And I love Katherine Hepburn. I tried not to like her, but I do. Her accent grows on you, I swear (maybe not). This was her first appearance with Tracy in a film and also the one during which they fell in love. You can tell. Plus, my feminist side (which might be all sides) likes to watch movies with a powerful woman in the leading role trying to balance "it all." I liked Woman of the Year so much I am going to buy it and let up on my stingy Netflix rating and give it five stars.

Winnie-ther-Pooh.

Yes, I'm writing a post about Winnie the Pooh, dammit. I need to tell you some stuff because Disney is doing something with this story that pretty much doesn't happen these days: they are releasing a movie that is animated like the original tv show! They're goin classic with this bitch. Heyoo! This gives me hope, people. Maybe I jumped the gun when I purchased all of my favorite Disney shows/movies on dvd so as to have something to show my kids one day when the wonderful art of yesteryear animation is completely nonexistent.

Disney is releasing a Winnie the Pooh movie today, July 15th. It looks pretty authentic, but of course I have a few complaints: Christopher Robin's voice: who do you think you're kidding here, Disney? I could also deal without the Keane song on the trailer. What's that about? The imagery is the same, though, and the basic plot line has the feel of the original series. I won't go see it (probably will) but I'm glad that kids today will be exposed to this type of animation and innocent subject matter. None of that new-fangled crap they have out nowadays. It's a glimmer of hope, that's all.

until next time,

jayteewo.
