BUZZWORTHY ART!!!



How bonkers is this! This man, Hilary Berseth, makes art...well, she actually pimps these bees and they make the art and she gets the fame! lol! In any case, the sculptures that this collaboration creates is nothing less than fabulous and is the perfect art/science hybrid experiment! The shapes and forms that the hives take are very mathematical in nature. I know that I'm the biggest nerd, but this is amazing! Anyhow, just wanted to share.

MERRY HALF CHRISTMAS!!!



Today is one of my favorite days of the year! The only thing that could make it better would be if I was off from school, but alas, the world has yet to adopt half-Christmas! That won't stop Keith and I! We've got our tree up (we trimmed it last night), the stove is fired up for our feast and the Evites have gone out for tonight's HALF CHRISTMAS "OFFICE" PARTY! We will start off with our traditional viewing of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and then we will have a marathon of the office (which is my favorite TV show). Great fun will be had by one and all! Gotta run, my macaroni and cheese is ready! Seasons Greetings!

Enjoy this holiday clip!

My Ode to Nina Simone: Free Download



Ask just about any female eclectic soul singer who they are inspired by, and they are almost sure to mention Nina Simone. There is no question that she has one of the most fearless and iconic voices and presences to grace black music. This is why I decided to cover her song "Be my Husband". What I appreciated most about this song was that she was able to convey her strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Not to mention, can we just have a moment of silence for her fabulous sense of style! That woman was too much! So Nina this is for you!

Thanks to Honey Soul Magazine for helping to share this song to others. To get the free download, go to:

The Scientific Artist - The Artistic Scientist



Emilie Faif is an artist and visual designer who makes incredible stuffed art that makes me smile. This is my favorite piece from of hers! I am all about the intersections on art and science. In fact who said that they should be separate genres? I think that they should just be part of one long continuum. ya dig? Anyhow, since taking my finals yesterday I have much more time for philosophical thought! lol! Let the blogging begin!
