Le Corbusier's chaise has always been an iconic favourite and i fully intend to have it in a large room with my grand piano one day, perfect to lie on as I talk to my in house psychiatrist about the perils of life.

Steak AND great textiles? I heart cows.
If you've been to my apartment, you've seen the cowhide that lives in my living room... however, what you do not know... is it is a stand in for this.

Weirdest, Coolest Fabric Ever.
QUICK post .... while researching for IRN... aka hotel death... i came upon THIS:
SO WEIRD... but really cool..
soooo it's a fiber that researchers have made at MIT... aka “fibers that can detect and produce sound.” More musically, the MIT geniuses describe it as “fibers that can hear and sing."
You're probably wondering how this could be used???
“Applications could include clothes that are themselves sensitive microphones, for capturing speech or monitoring bodily functions, and tiny filaments that could measure blood flow in capillaries or pressure in the brain.”
yea. so... you can go back to trying to feel smart now...

New British Pop Group Hits the Airwaves in T minus One Week!!!
Hey guys!
I just found the lyrics to this girl group's new single coming out this week! Leaked online!!!
Check it out :
The sun comes up, and penetrates the glass
This is called, direct thermal mass
It warms the floor, beneath my feet
That’s because it’s made of either stone or (pause) concrete
Well my dear you'll know that he pleases me (Pleases me),
But short time solution made no resolution,
That ain't no release for me,
Thermal Absorption is easy to use
So why don’t you believe me when I say to you
Thermal absorption is not so new
Sustainable design keeps me satisfied
South facing walls, take in the sun
Hold it to the night, ‘til the day is done
Trombe wall, 8 to 16
Inches thick, there’s space to store the day’s heat in between
Yes my dear it you know it releases heat (warms me)
Into the night, when there’s no more daylight
It releases energy
Thermal Absorption is easy to use
So why don’t you believe me when I say to you
Thermal absorption is not so new
Sustainable design keeps me satisfied
What part of green don’t you understand (understand understand)
I wanna save pennies, any way I can
Anyway I can
Thermal Absorption is easy to use
So why don’t you believe me when I say to you
Thermal absorption is not so new
Sustainable design keeps me satisfied
Houses, commercial buildings come on give it a try
Better than sitting around and letting the earth die
Concrete, wallboard, water, masonry absorb
Let materials of thermal mass change your world
And! They're going on tour with
MC Mok and Lil' Lee!!!
I found their lyrics as well!
Take a look!
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go shawty
On your green roof
Conserve energy on your green roof
Filter pollution on your green roof
And you know you should give a ****
‘Cause it’s your planet!
[Chorus]
Find me on the roof, handful of shrubs
Look RSID I got the greens if you into owning bugs.
Green roofs can be anywhere, trust me im a thug.
So come give the earth a hug, if you’re into green love.
When I pull out up front, you see the Benz on the street
Traditional roofs use asphalt and concrete.
Ballers heard I filter smog up on the roof above,
alongside solar panels, now they wanna show me love
But homie water my soil watch my, leaves go up.
holla at Lil’Lee, see my green roofs you’ll never get enough
If you have the right size, shape, slope and direction of your roof,
Just don’t forget it has to also be waterproof!
On the roof, then the ladies saying “mokster you hot”
They like me, but I want show me all that they’ve got.
But holla on Church street them folks tell me im loco
but these roofs are going big and gonna strike gold.
Im’ feelin focused man, spreading green on my mind.
Suzukis talkin’ to folks, but there’s still more to find.
Now shawty said she feeling my style, she feeling my Eden
My girlfriends saw me with her i think she wanna get even.
[Chorus]
Roofs good, roofs smart brought me in that green.
That absorbs all the sun’s hot heat
on homes, on stores, on your office too
look how good it looks so you should change.
Don’t try to act like you’re no Jana Macalik
Say Lang Zei
MC Mok ft. Lil’ Lee
Hollaaaaa

So .. was just in the middle of watching this week's episode of weeds...
http://www.vidxden.com/sb913h3tikmc
and ... for those of you who don't know... Frangells's dad is somewhat of a famous actor.
You can see his work in music videos and commercials...
specifically Low Level Flight's "change for me"
and Heinz ketchup commercial "The Usual Suspect"
ya - youtube them.
But - today, I found him in his greatest work to date: in a butter eating contest on weeds...
see for yourself:

Hello Again.
With all this blogging business, our profs have now jumped on the train and have ASSIGNED blogs as forms of what we call "passports" ... or just journals of design related things.
Now that the first installment of IRN has been handed in, Mok Almeids and I have slept about 15 hours straight... it's time to wake up and start whatever assignment is due tomorrow.
However, to bring a little happiness.. I stumbled upon www.welovetypography.com while we were trying to come up with the graphics for our layouts. Anyone who is remotely interested in graphics should check it out. <3
You can even follow them on twitter! ... @ilovetypography
OH! and in case you need even more fun.. follow : @ahlMEIduh
AND OF COURSE : @OliviaLauren17
