“There’s no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you’ll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?”
We spent this last weekend with family up in Show Low. It was full of good food, napping, hiking, and of course fishing. Henry had a blast touching the fish! We’ll definitely be spending more time up north now that Phoenix is heating up.
As someone obsessed with dogs, especially my own, I’m loving Pack, a network for dogs and the people who love them. It’s invite-only for now, but go look through the many cute pups (including my Boomer and Helo) already on there.
Artist Phillip Light created this hilariously cute illustration series depicting Disney princesses as sloths. See the whole collection at his tumbler: philliplight.tumblr.com
The new film 42 about the great Jackie Robinson is really quite wonderful. It’s reminiscent of A League of Their Own, with the same humor and a surprisingly charming supporting cast. Of course it’s much heavier and there’s plenty of uncomfortable N-word moments. But I suspect families will watch and love this film for generations.
Harrison Ford definitely steals the show as Branch Rickey, the man who signs Jackie to the Dodgers. It’s a subtle, loving, and hilarious performance which once again reminds us why he’s been a household name for decades. It’s not quite as memorable as Tom Hanks’ Jimmy Dugan (“There’s no crying in baseball!”), but it definitely makes this film worth seeing again and again.
As you may have heard, Arrested Development returns May 26th on Netflix. I’m quite excited and even more so after seeing these new promotional posters. It’s going to be amazing! See all of them on Buzzfeed.
Happy Easter! Of course, my favorite part of this holiday is the Washington Post Peeps diorama contest. Lots of creative submissions this year! You can also check out my favorites from past years: Peeps Show 2012 and Peeps Show 2011.
Not long ago I discovered my love for solo, multitrack a capella performances (see Matt Mullholland). This one is pretty awesome. Not only is he a great singer, but he sings about the lives of Disney princesses after the films end. Hilarious.
My name is Lynn Fisher and I am an artist and designer out of Chandler, Arizona.
By day, I design for meltmedia, an interactive web agency out of Tempe. By night, I paint, create, and blog things I find intriguing and beautiful.
I try to keep my work fun, reflecting my inner nerd and bringing humor to otherwise serious topics. I also love watching reruns of Top Chef, quoting the Office, and drinking obscene amounts of diet soda.
