Ear Candy: Jaymay

Jaymay does most of the soundtrack for Happy Thank You More Please which I saw at the Virginia Film Festival about a month ago. Loved it. In fact, the only unpleasant thing about the experience was the cringe-inducing q&a session with Josh Radnor (the screen writer/ director/ leading male who is also in How I Met Your Mother) that followed; from which many of the questions can be summed up as "I think I love you. Please discuss." yowsa.

Regardless, definitely recommend seeing HappyThankYouMorePlease when it comes out in a theater near you - which I think is happening in February. More Jaymay here.

oh, hello!

so... remember when I used to post things here? haha, yeah. me neither.

Things on the farm are going really well - but also quite busy, hence the drop-off with this here blog. I think my new goal is to have at a least a post every Monday morning.

There was some crazy hot weather for a bit, but there was also some crazy cold weather this winter, and so I guess it needed to be balanced out? Or global warming? Mother Earth having hot flashes? God letting us know what we might be in for?



ohhh, vengeful theories. Can't get enough of 'em. But anyway, it was hot. And now it's not nearly as hot. So that's pretty great.

I took some nice pictures at the Nelson County Farmer's Market yesterday, but I can't find my camera cord; so how about a movie recommendation instead?



City Island starring Andy Garcia. Best enjoyed during 100+ degree weather in full blast air conditioning. Or really probably any time that you want to watch an excellent movie.

Lots of love,
Paige

Kaboom! by PES

How about a little stop-motion film excitement?



I especially like the keys as cannons, and circuit board as the landscape. Although the clown heads are pretty well used, too.

More by PES - here - including Western Spaghetti which is also pretty awesome.

Dirt! the Movie

What do you say, Charlottesville? Shall we plan a screening?



I think so, too.

More on the film here.

Kindle? No, Thanks. Kindle Ad Campaign? Yes, Please.

I came across this gorgeous stop motion film by Amanda Kohler and Ithyle Griffiths last week, and was really happy to find squareriggers, birdcages, and moustaches all in the same dreamy video at once:



And now it turns out that they've created some commercials for for Amazon's Kindle::



I still don't want a Kindle. But I'm happy these videos were made because of them.

Watched Captains Courageous the other day; it's super cute, will make you cry, and the boat is Alabama's twin. Worth watching.



Enjoy leetle feesh.

Love,
