On my way back from lunch with filmmaker Pascal Forneri where I heard all about the fascinating Serge Gainsbourg documentary project he is currently finishing, I stopped to admire the view of “La Tour” and the replica of the Statue of Liberty’s flame. I was then told that the flame overlooks the tunnel entrance where […]

On the eve of my trip to Paris for Protoclip I watched this very simple yet very effective spot for Google search, part of their Search Stories series.
I’m curious who wrote and produced this. Anyone know?

My best friend Delaney just got back from two months abroad in Prague, coincidentally the very same city I chose to explore this past semester.
Her last night there, she and a friend decided to jump off of Charles Bridge […]

Happy New Year! Here’s the year end picks for the Year of the Rat…onto the Ox!
Best use of store window stuffed animals:

Bergdorf Goodman. Bergdorf’s windows are typically stunning, made better with taxidermy.
Nice to discover, especially after finding out that Paris’s Deyrolle (the wunderkammer of fine and fantastic creatures) had a fire in February.

Walking from the Flux office to Flake for lunch yesterday we came across this flock of ducks. I’m pretty sure they are ducks and not geese cause I looked it up at “What’s the difference between a duck and a goose?.”
It is 73° F and Sunny […]

After initially being quite upset that all the shops I planned to visit were shut on Sunday, I had the pleasure of stumbling upon the Marché Richard-Lenoir this morning. In California we like to brag about our Farmer’s Markets, but we have nothing on this.
