Imogen Heap is the embodiment of musical creativity. Her originality and passion for what she does would win over anyone's heart. If you haven't heard any of the Frou Frou releases or Heap's previous solo album, do yourself a favor and listen immediately!

I received a lot of feedback (both positive and negative... more positive) for posting the Michael Jackson video yesterday and it made realize how entertaining videos can be. So with that being said, every Sunday I'm going to post the three worthy videos I stumbled across over the course of the week for your viewing enjoyment.

Banksy's new exhibit:


Funny, clever, and sort of cute Durex viral video (Jeff Koons gone dirty):


New Macbook 2010 (I'd buy it and that says a lot):


Bonus Video:
R.I.P Billy May, thanks to you the world is a (oxy) cleaner place:

I couldn't help it. The song is so true...



Props to Nikki for finding the video.

Totally unrelated (awesome) post I found on Gizmodo.

Every weekend must come to a close in order to make room for a new week. I happened to end my weekend on a very good note. I spent the night out with my lovely and her family; great people, great food (Pio Pio), funny movie (The Proposal)... What more could you ask for (diner dessert at 1:00AM surely doesn't hurt)?

Onto something totally unrelated...

Every morning and night I catch up on various blog entries. This morning I stumbled across this interesting website: Inspiredology. The website's focus is design (i.e. consumer products, websites, etc). Design has always been something I have enjoyed. I think these vintage Coke cans are good examples why I find design so fascinating.

My favorite:

Six days of cake and cookies... 7 pounds gained and one bad stomach ache to deal with at 3:25AM...

It all started this past weekend. In honor of my friend Chilly's birthday, a few friends and I threw a small get together (my lovely's idea). I saw this as a golden opportunity to bake for the party and expose my passion to my friends. So the day before, I spent hours in the kitchen with my grandma baking. We made three things: "supreme" cheesecake, milk chocolate cookies, and cakey chocolate chip cookies. When it was time for everyone to try my hard work, I stood there eager like a young boy at Toy R Us. Thankfully, all my friends loved it! My friend David even asked how much he had to pay me to make another cheesecake (of course, I'll do it for free). The whole night was a success; everyone was eating, having fun, and I hung out with Mercedes (my favorite part of the night).

I've been spending a lot of time with her since she arrived and I honestly can't get enough (hopefully she feels the same way :x). Each day gets better and better as cliche as that sounds. The instant companionship and compatibility is not only exciting, but delightful. We've dined in the city, went to the movies, stood home watching television, and hung with friends. No matter what it is that we're doing, I'm overwhelmed by happiness (which is a great feeling as could imagine). During our dinner and a movie date, she surprised me with a chocolate cookbook and cupcake bandages (yes, only I could appreciate something like that haha). Now up until this point I already thought the world of her, but seeing her surprising me randomly just because... It put a huge smile on my face (something I hope to do for her on daily basis). I apologize for those of you who read this and feel like throwing up (sorry for the image). But this is something I've been meaning to post because she's one of a kind and I am happy that she's in my life.

P.S.Due to our adventures, my huge sweet tooth, and an urge to taste what bakeries have to offer... I've successfully eaten cake and cookies for six days straight (I'm throwing in the towel though, it was a good run).

P.S.S. Congratulations David and his girlfriend, the baby shower was wonderful.

P.S.S.S.The Hangover was hilarious, go see it.
