Amy Brown


Art Appreciation

You've probably seen Amy Brown's faeries on websites, products, and other stuff. I came across her faeries while visiting a bookstore on Pearl Street in Boulder.

When viewing her paintings, it's easy to find yourself in the majestic Faery realm where faeries share their personalities and stories. For example, it's easy to feel the season change in the painting titled Passage to Autumn.

You can see more of her work HERE.

blink-182 - What's My Age Again?


Music Appreciation

Released in April 1999, What's My Age Again? is a song by American punk rock band Blink-182. The song, which was written by bassist Mark Hoppus, is about age and maturity. Yet, as a person who is about to turn 40, I can still somewhat relate to this song. I mean, "No one should take themselves so seriously, with many years ahead to fall in line" still lies true in my eyes.

The music video, which was directed by Marcos Siega, features the band running naked around West 3rd Street in Central LA, KTLA studios, and Fox Sports Net. Porn star Janine Lindemulder, who also appears on the cover of their Enema of the State album, and comedian John Henson also appear in the music video.

The Birds


Film Appreciation

If you haven't seen Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, do yourself a favor, find it, rent it, borrow it and watch it.

The horror film, which stars Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor and Jessica Tandy, is loosely based on the 1925 story by Daphne du Maurier about a unexplained bird attack on people of Bodega Bay, California.
