We're hunting for artwork for our institutionally white walls.
We've put up an Almost Famous poster and ordered a very cool, very film noir Veronica Mars poster:
Dan and I are big TV/movie people and wanted to find artwork reflective of us and our tastes as opposed to just slapping up something generic like a Parisian cityscape or a black-and-white image of a mountain.
Now, I'm trying to find cool typographical art (we're both writers. This only makes sense) and something for the kitchen that relates to food without being:
A) Cutesy in that faux country farmhouse way
B) An advertisement for alcohol.
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of song lyrics printed in bold-colored cardstock. Something like this:
I think it could work.
On a more political note, I've noticed Republicans been making a lot of snide comments about Barack Obama's "celebrity" status. According to them, celebrity status should be vilified. Well, I'd like to bring something to their attention. Ronald Reagan was not only an actor, but president of the Screen Actor's Guild. I.E. -- a pretty big celebrity.
A little less hypocrisy and bullshit goes a long way, guys. Just sayin'. Oh and speaking of bullshit, regarding McCain's vice-presidential pick, Sarah Palin?
Bwahahahahahahahahah!
I can't wait to see Joe Biden eviscerate her in the debates. Ms. Palin doesn't stand a chance.
