Oh my gosh this is so cool! Someone please put this to music. I don’t know, would that even work? I’m just assuming there’s some great musical patterns hidden in there somewhere.

It’s been a long time since I just sat and watched. After the perfect walk on a perfect Seattle night, I came home last night and just looked out my big living room window. In the most not creepy way possible, I watched the people across the way to see how they lived, I looked up at the stars for the first time in a long time. No TV, no laptop, no phone. Just my trusty Chopin station on Pandora and the light coming from the streetlight below. It was relaxing and therapeutic. This video by Dominic Boudreault sums it all up for me. So beautiful.

In case you’re in need of a laugh. Ridiculous and awesome!

She’s done the circuit stateside, but this live version from her home is my favorite. Thank god for Adele.
Please keep the people of Japan in your thoughts. Living in earthquake country we often make light of the possibility of “the next big one” but it’s scenes like this that remind us that we are indeed at the mercy of our living planet, and that we are all thisclose to needing help and compassion from others.
Please take a moment to help our friends in Japan. Today we are all Japanese.

Uncontacted Amazon Tribe: First ever aerial footage from Survival International on Vimeo.
I have been consumed by this video since I saw it last week, and it only becomes more haunting and sinking when you realize that it’s not a movie trailer, but an attempt to save some of the last uncontacted tribes in the world. This new footage was shot in an attempt to convince the Peruvian government that uncontacted tribes do, in fact, exist and are in danger of losing everything because of illegal logging and mining. Captured by a high-powered lens from 1 km away, Jose Carlos Meirelles hopes to use this footage to show Peru’s president that these tribes are not made up and are in need of preservation.
“They should be free to choose whether to make contact or not.”
Amazing work by Mr. Meirelles of FUNAI, a government agency that works to protect indigenous people of Brazil.

I was a bit apprehensive in the beginning, but I soon grew to love HBO’s series Boardwalk Empire. The sets, the fashion, and the politics of prohibition America make for a great story, and the characters and the actors that portray them are fabulous.
If you were into the show as well, you’ll probably get a kick out of this behind the scenes video showing just how much movie magic is needed to recreate the Jersey Shore of the 1920′s. Check it out!

Did you catch a glimpse of the winter solstice lunar eclipse last night? I did but it didn’t look quite this good from my window.
