time

For a few months now my mind has been largely preoccupied with different ideas of time. Below are two things I've run across in the process. The first is compressed time. In the 1960's, audio documentarian Tony Schwartz recorded his niece from birth to high school, and then condensed it into a little over 2 minutes. The second is time sped up. Photographer Noah Kalina took a photo of himself every day for eight years, and made the first six and a half years into a video.

i love this show!



Spotted: clock saying 7:53. That means the Gossip Girl season finale starts in only 7 minutes, and I can't wait! It is such a good show! Seriously, if you don't already watch it, you should definitely start. Download the episodes from itunes, or there's plenty of websites where you can watch them for free (e.g. sidereel.com). You won't be sorry. And I love that this show doesn't even have to be a guilty pleasure... it counts as just a regular pleasure since it's so immensely popular with adults and has been covered by legitimate media outlets. It's definitely not in the same category as previous "teen" shows, like The O.C.

Anyway, I gotta make some dinner real quick before the show starts.
