This vehicle would be great for getting around NYC only if I can ride it.

Marian Bantjes:

This is a map or diagram of all of my significant artistic influences to date (or all that I could think of), my styles of working and materials. It was created as an assignment to a design class I took this past summer (August 2006). I’m too pleased with it to let it sit in a drawer.

Beautiful online home of a therapeutic riding center in Franklin, TN.

Gorgeous web site for Queenstown’s Organic Shop.

A rainy Saturday at the New York Bontanical Garden checking out the art of the Japanese Chrysanthemum.

It’s Halloween week.

The kind of English writing that needs to be translated into Vietnamese to understand. An article in Viet Nam News titled “Old school crooners abroad eye comeback” is a perfect example. I get a kick out of the title as well as the opening sentence: “Viet Nam’s booming economy is realising many dreams for the country’s music industry, but as singers at home seek audiences abroad, those natives already settled overseas are looking to woo fans back in their homeland.” Gotta love the caption for Tuan Ngoc: “Born to be mild.”

The dress looks cute on her. (Don’t mind me. I am just practicing my sentence.)

A few snaps around the Falls.

Damn, Jay’s leaked tracks so far so hot:

“Hello Brooklyn” with Weezy
“No Hook“

Can’t wait to get my hand on the album. American Gangster baby!
