For some epic tumblr love/bodies-of-all-shapes acceptance, check the #swimsuitsforbagel tag today. :)

Do yourself a favor and go check this out. It’s truly wonderful.

It’s fun to actually have a valid excuse to shop for lighting. This is at Seattle Lighting, right around the corner from where I work.

That line up across the street is to Salumi. There is always a line there.

Finding Portland (by Uncage the Soul Productions)

Headed to this lovely city for the long weekend. Can’t wait.

Speaking of my love for these big blue bags, IKEA is handing them out today for free as part of its Random Acts of Life Improvement plan. Check this link for the location in your area.

For Seattle, it’s at 11:00 at the Seattle Center.

I don’t. I will definitely miss my Ship Canal view, but my new view will be of the Olympic Mountains. I think that’s a pretty good trade. The place has some other positives, too. It’s bigger, for one. And it’ll be mine. The market in Seattle is pretty good right now, and the price of this condo was ridiculously low. Compared to what home prices usually go for here, it’s crazy low.

River Phoenix Movie Trailer of the Day:Dark Blood was supposed to be the independent surprise of 1993. Instead, it is the last, unfinished work of River Phoenix; production came to a standstill when he diedoutside L.A.’s Viper Room, with three weeks of shooting remaining.

Now, nearly 20 years later, director George Sluizer has found a way to finish the film — he and editor Michiel Reichwein have been hard at work since March. They just need a little crowdfunding for post-production, and they’ve launched a Kickstarter-esque website to drum up money.

Here’s Dark Blood’s synopsis, in case you need a little persuading:

Dealing with nuclear testing and its long-lasting deadly effects, the story portrays Boy, a young widower living in the desert at a nuclear testing site. Living as a hermit, he waits for the end of the world carving Katchina dolls that he believes have magical powers. While traveling on a “second” honeymoon across the Arizona desert, the car of the Hollywood jet-set couple (Pryce & Davis) breaks down. They are rescued by Boy, who holds them prisoners because he desires the woman and wants to create a better world with her.

Sluizer is planning for a world premiere of Dark Blood at” the Dutch Film Festival in September.

Amazing

And by George Sluizer, too. Who directed one of my all-time favorite thrillers, The Vanishing. The original Dutch version, not the horrible American remake of The Vanishing, which he also directed. Not sure how he got that one so wrong.

I’ve got boxes, packing labels, bubble wrap, and I’m going to get more of the big blue IKEA bags. I love those things. You can load them up with so much stuff, and then you’ve got the handles to carry them by.

Right now I’m excited, and a bit stressed, but later I know I’ll be having to say goodbye to a very sweet place. I’ve lived in my current place for so long, and so many things have happened to me personally while I’ve lived there, I thought I’d break it down to a manageable scope of things that happened in the world, the year I moved in: 

• The Berlin Wall came down
• Gas was 97 cents a gallon
• Ted Bundy was executed in Florida
• Protests in Tiananmen Square, which led to the Tiananmen Square massacre
• Nintendo released Game Boy
• The Menendez brothers shot their parents
• Pete Rose was banned from baseball
• Daniel Radcliffe, Jordin Sparks, Chris Brown and Taylor Swift were born
• Bette Davis, Salvador Dali, Lucille Ball, Gilda Radner and Sugar Ray Robinson died
• When Harry Met Sally, Batman and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade came out.

So yeah, a lot of years. And a lot to reflect back on. And much to look forward to.

Wildlife photographer Bence Mate on location in Hungary.

Award-winning Hungarian photographer Bence Mate captures wildlife up close and personal. His nickname - ‘the invisible wildlife photographer’ - offers an explanation to just how he manages to capture such intimate snaps. He can spend days, weeks or even months quietly tucked away in a hide that he has carefully designed and built.

Dogs do this for me, too.

Hee. Isn’t it great?

I really should be packing stuff UP, not bringing stuff in.

Check it out. He’s turned into the Hulk! He would rip that seat cushion out and heave it across the room if he could right now.

I’d say that’s a buck well spent.
