Conspiracy For Good - 2010

Another Boulder < LAX refugee was the Head Writer and Ex Producer for this campaign. Bravo!

A Hornet and a King

Last night I went to a screening of The Green Hornet. Apparently, the movie is coming out in 3D when it opens in January. However, the screening was not? Without giving anything away (hate when people do that!)

A few comments....

I went in knowing zero about this film, so when I read the credits rolled, I was shocked to learn it was directed by Michel Gondry. Shocked mainly because it seemed sooo mainstream for him!

All the guys around me laughed throughout the entire film.

This is the type of movie you have to see on a big screen.

I also saw The King's Speech this week. Incredible, I loved the way it was shot and Colin Firth was spectacular, way to commit to a role. Helena B Carter and Geoffrey Rush are fabulous as well!

TGIF peeps!

Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment

I gave this product a try. I was amazed that you take this product that has the consistency of paste and rub it in your hands for a second and it immediately turns into an oil. Although it did not seem to absorb in my hair that well, it more or less stayed on top and did not seem to penetrate, so I wasn't sure how well it would work. I washed it out per the instructions, shampooed (is that even a word!) and put in conditioner. All in all my hair feels soft but not so sure of the nutty almost ashy smell. Maybe be a little to earthy for me, and this coming from years of living in Boulder where the term earthy is really put to the test.

If you buy the Ojon Hair Treatment from Sephora right now a portion of the proceeds goes towards helping to fight breast cancer - click here

I can't believe I missed...

It got me to run!

I went to a screening of The Fighter last night! It was terrific and personally it motivated me to start to move my body more! I was surpised to see Darren Aronofsky, ya know - the director of Black Swan, is the Executive Producer.

In case you haven't heard, Black Swan is a must see!!

I try to run a 4-5 days a week and my schedule this week has made it especially hard. I should mention, I H.A.T.E running in the early morning. My body is not ready and I like to run when it warms up. Not this morning, I've already gotten my run in and credit 100% goes to The Fighter.

Have a great weekend!

Hammer + Eva Hesse

http://hammer.ucla.edu/
Over the weekend I took advantage of the http://hammer.ucla.edu/ - Celebrating their 20th Anniversary with 20 days of free admission. I was particularly interested in the Eva Hesse collection. It was wonderful and while not my favorite piece I included a piece above. A visit the permanent contemporary collection is a good bet too!

Neglect

I must be honest with myself, my blog has been utterly neglected. So I am committing to 5 posts a week now until the end of the year.

Here goes...

Babajiji

Babajiji means Grandparents. This I learned last Thursday night at a beautiful little soiree hosted by the Tortoise Clan. The evening was part jewelry show and part dining experience. The food was prepared by Yuri Nomura. It was fresh, delicious and the presentation was impeccable. Jump over to her website for more - Eatrip. Her website is Babajiji and it was Yuri who taught me Babajiji means Grandparents!

Eggleston

I still have to get to Lacma to see the Eggleston exhibit but I did go Sat evening to hear an amazing group speak about film and Eggleston over the weekend. Panelists included Harmony Korine and the director of Cinemotography of the upcoming Sofia Coppola Movie Somewhere, Harris Savides. I and you, can get a little bit of Eggleston before hitting the exhibit - Lacma has created screensavers for your laptop, ipad, smartphone and desktop - click here

So Support your local museum and join; Tight on dough? Get a friend to join another museum and make a pact to take each other to openings and events, it's like getting two museums for the cost of one!
