Reprieve

I've been like an ostrich this week - diving into work like it's gold dust shaped like vast sand dunes. It's been fun - a fully-charged, adrenaline-filled, pimped out mental trip. I'm loving it, but I come home spent like an old dollar bill pinned and framed on the wall of a New York diner (enough with the metaphors).

What better way to turn-off than with a taste of a metaphysical tragicomedy about being able to de-soul the body or disembody the soul?



Cold Souls has a great site - clean, nicely designed and animated, with an interesting badge on the bottom left that says, Get Happier! Click here for the latest in soul storage technology. When clicked it takes you to The Soul Storage Company site that allows you to browse the soul catalog, review customer testimonials. take an office tour, read articles written about soul storage, FAQ section, etc.

Nice extension of the narrative into the digital/real world...

Wild Things

Another one to add on the list. Sunday feels like the perfect escapist day to share the trailer of Where the Wild Things Are because it looks like a cinematic wonderland. I loved the illustrations when I first got the book for my 6th birthday and the movie has some serious visual poetry with Spike Jonze in the director's seat. Even the trailer's a treat (clips of soundtrack a sweet complement).
