Blake Lively channel’s her inner Sandy for the cover of Esquire’s February 2010 issue.  Serena would be proud.

(Love the hand written features)

Lost

Both are promos for their final seasons.  BSG did it first.  BSG did it better.

Battlestar Galactica

..and don’t get me wrong, I am a die hard fan of both Lost and BSG.

Other then the long months of summer, I’d say the winter holidays are also a killer when it comes to TV shows.  All of them are on hiatus for about a month (unless you’re a reality show fan, then they’re always on).  Grey’s starts on the 14th with a crossover event with Private Practice.  Brothers and Sisters will be back on the 3rd.  My new guilty pleasure, aka The Vampire Diaries, will be gracing my apple TV a day after it airs on the 21st.  Heroes will be back with a two-hour premiere on the 11th. GG and 90210 are still MIA.  Lost’s sixth and final season premieres on February 2nd.

The Vampire Diaries

I don’t watch much do I?  For a full list of what fills my appetite click here.

Is it so hard to find good coffee locally?  Everytime I walk into a Starbucks or a Coffee Bean I feel like I’m about to order a Big Mac.  Either they’re turning super commercial, or I’m just eager for a burger.  We need coffee options that aren’t a just-another.  I’m not just talking about the coffee itself, but also the actual coffee shop. Somewhere to chill in a converse and a hoodie, not heels and a Kelly.

Stereo Love causes summer days nostalgia.  Bright and shining new (if 2008 is considered new) artist Edward Maya’s next hit doesn’t help either.

I’m pickin’ up good vibrations..

The law grants 30 days of annual leave to all employees from the start of their contract instead of just 15 days in each of the first five years that increases to 21 days a year after that in the old law. It has increased public holidays to 13 days from only eight, including three days for Eid Al-Fitr and four days for Eid Al-Adha, while also officially including the Liberation Day as a public holiday. (…)

Sick leaves have been increased to 15 days with full pay instead of six in the old day, (…)

And a Happy New Year to you too.

Inspired by his hobby of flying sailplanes, artist Paul Villinski created these flying forms by reusing beer cans and vinyl records.

Huge huge huge fan of her music.  Indie singer Lykke Li (I don’t even bother trying to pronounce it) is so on it.  The Swedish artist’s song Possibility is a favorite from the New Moon soundtrack.  Besides her own music, she also features in the Kleerup track below.  Enjoy.

Little Bit makes me bounce uncontrollably, and Dance Dance Dance makes me want to tap tap tap my feet.
