one day on earth.

on october 10, 2010, individuals across the globe were invited to film snapshots of their lives. special events and daily routines. rituals of great importance. births, deaths, joy, and sadness. the result: an online public video archive project, entitled One Day on Earth & a unique, collaborative motion picture. The trailer for this film gave me chills...

public market center.

i miss pike place market. all the hustle and bustle. accents from all over the world. fresh cut flowers. colorful produce. lotions & potions & arts & crafts. even the flying fish people who, despite being pretty stinky, are very entertaining.

strawberry fields forever.

this morning i went strawberry picking with mopsy & my sis. so much fun!! oregon strawberries are oh-so-delightful. small & sweet.

{delicious, hand-picked strawberries in all their glory.}

currently obsessed.

i recently watched the animated film tangled for the first time. i absolutely loved disney's twist on the vintage rapunzel folklore. ...full of humor, adventure, romance, and good ol' "disney magic," this film is for children & grownups, alike. {the soundtrack is really quite brilliant, as well.} it's funny how nostalgic disney movies make one feel. watching tangled reminded me of my childhood days. of princesses and fairy tales. castles and make-believe.

strangely enough, i was not a huge fan of disney movies as a young child. the snarling wolves in beauty and the beast terrified me. dumbo, bambi, and the lion king were kind of traumatic; anyone else notice a reoccurring theme of violence, death & orphaned animals? the evil queens in snow white and sleeping beauty were, well, too evil. which left... cinderella? {not too scary, sad, or nightmare-inducing.)

now that i'm a bit older, i've come to appreciate both the classic disney films and the contemporary ones. i've found that disney films have this amazing ability to make even a grown man cry. every disney film is full of charm, child-like wonder, and a variety of life lessons everyone can relate to. {the sometimes-snarky lines every now & then don't hurt, either.}
