Ripped up the Flava Flav show. So damn hilarious!

From iPhone Widow: “The iPhone is Cool and All, But Can You Stick Your Dick in It?”

Finch is minimal and fresh.

Rainfall Daffinson is a straight grid-based design.

Mark Boulton is open and clean.

If you ever stop and watch artists in Chinatown drawing a portrait, you’ll will enjoy Nico Di Mattia’s Speed Paintings: “an experience that includes the fusion of many areas: the drawing, the painting, the cinema, the music, and the digital technologies.” Jennifer Love Hewitt is one of my favorites.

Like many married couples, Marie and Clem are facing intimate challenge in their 22 years together. In a therapy’s session, husband Clam confesses:

“I guess I’ve tried different ways, and nothing seems to . . . to . . . ,” said Clem, who stutters when he’s challenged, or trying to plead his case. He is the personification of mild: fit and trim, with cornflower blue eyes. “It doesn’t seem like you hear me no matter how I say it.” Later, he’ll say, even more plaintively: “It sounds like you want me to initiate sex, but it’s just hard to because the answer is always no, or ‘O.K.,’ and that just doesn’t turn me on. It really takes all the wind out of my sails to know that you’re only saying yes to appease me.”

Sound familiar? You might be interested in reading New York Times Magazine’s cover story “Can This Marriage Be Saved?” by Laurie Abraham.

Environmental graphic designer Don Meeker and type designer James Montalbano set out to fix the highway font problem by making “signs easier to read from a distance and reduced the distracting nighttime blur of halation.” Like what a British designer Graham Clifford says, “Type on the roadway is very much like the corporate identity of a country.” Joshua Yaffa’s “The Road to Clarity” in the New York Times Magazine details the process and the reason for replacing Highway Gothic to Clearview on highway signage.

NPR profiles conscious rapper Common:

He shuns popular trends in hip hop and focuses on some of the art form’s core principles: storytelling and presenting music with a message.

Common, born Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr., is part of a tradition of so-called “conscious artists” like Dead Prez, The Coup and Mos Def who try to bring social and cultural messages back to the airwaves. Though now he embraces being a conscious artist, there was a time when he shunned the label as pigeonholing his music.

A bottle of Alizé Rose is half empty already, and I just got it at the liqueur store this afternoon. The exotic blend of natural passion fruit, French Vodka, litchis, strawberries and rose essence created a perfect taste, not too sweet and not too rich. On top of its exquisite flavor, Alizé also brings back the memory of 2pac. Remember that “Thug Passion” he once introduced? “One part Alizé, one part Cristal… This drink is guaranteed to get the pussy wet and the dick hard.”
