Unhappy Hipsters

It's lonely in the modern world, or so proclaims the tagline of this Dezeen Magazine meets Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy design tumblr, Unhappy Hipsters. Here are a few gems you'll find on it:

"The dog’s ability to fully surrender aroused in him a feeling of discontent and resentment."

"The things that once so defined him — shag carpeting, Room & Board sofas, monogamy — now suffocated him."

"You can come out when you can properly explain the differences between Modernist architecture and postmodern ornamentation."

Thanks to @pastemagazine for the link and if you aren't already following them on Twitter, I advise you to do so!

Reading Rainbow

I hesitate to call it a resolution, but one of my goals for 2010 was to read more books. So far, I've finished The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, Bonjour Tristesse by Francoise Sagan, and I am now half-way through I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crosley.

I've toyed with the idea of a book feature on this blog, mainly to feature my more interesting thrift finds. Out of print editions, aesthetically pleasing covers, timeless and, at times, hysterical information from years gone past.

Sound like something you'd like to read?

Definatalie's Desktop Calendar

We're nearly halfway through the month, but this desktop calendar by Definatalie is definitely worth mentioning (and downloading). I'm already anticipating the backdrop for February!

Her sophisticated, yet snarky, illustrations have popped up on this blog once before, providing some tasty food for thought on one particular Friday.
