one of those mornings
didn't wake up early enough to wash my hair✓
wearing the same beat outfit I do every Thursday✓
coffee came out bitter✓
I got pulled over for taking a yellowRED ✓
WTF, actually laughed out loud at today's Onion calendar page?✓
On mornings like this I just listen to Yeasayer's Tightrope on repeat:

Giveaway: Taschen Simple Diary
Dear memelodia readers and passerbys,
Welcome to my first blog giveaway. I am excited to share this Taschen Phillipp Keel Simple Diary with you. The diary I'm offering up is in White (of course) and very slick. It's the perfect little companion for non committal people who like to occasionally capture life's moments. It's basically a mash-up of a journal, a multiple choice quiz, Twitter, Mad Libs, and a sketchbook. All you have to do is leave a comment stating your favorite website or blog crush. Make sure I have a way to get in touch with you in case you're the lucky chosen winner. I will pick someone at random next Wednesday October 14th.
Good luck,
Good luck,
Melody
Why Simple Diary?
There are three reasons why most people, although they have tried, won't keep a diary:
1. Not every day is very eventful.
2. It actually takes a lot of discipline to write.
3. In retrospect, many find what they have written embarrassing.

Keel's Simple Diary offers structure for those who don't have time to wonder, making it easy to record life's moments. It gives the pleasure of a quick response and the sense that no matter what's wrong, more is right.On every page you will discover a taste of philosophy, a pinch of psychology and a twist of insight.

Henri Cartier Bresson's Madrid photograph
HCB's work jogs my memory to:
My favorite Helen Levitt photograph
My highschool photo professor ingrained these classic images in my brain. I miss being moved by black and white photography.

Oh my god.
Sarah-Jane Lynagh.
I was just browsing through designboom and then, BOOM I spotted these ridiculous heart pounding out of my chest where have you been all my life photographs. Why have I never come across Sarah's body of work? I can't stop staring at these. Not only do I love them, and wish I had shot these but I kinda feel like I would be great friends with someone as totally bonkers as her.
Dear darkness, won't you cover me again, 2008
Photographic Print; 90cm x 120cm
I could have easily posted all of her photos but I decided to feature this one. It's tripe! I use tripe as an adjective all the time. Never mind the fact that these are shot beautifully and they're repulsive yet striking...there's actually someone willing to pose with these discarded animal entrails. From experience I know shots like these aren't quick to compose. There's some serious dedication there. Ah, I love it.

Biomorphically Baroque
Adam Wallacavage's “Biomorphically Baroque", extravagant light fixtures make my eyeballs scream. I can't pick a favorite. They're absurdly beautiful, playful and slightly haunting. These gorgeous tentacle lights and sconces would look great even in the most most modernist non rococo setting.
These illuminating creatures belong in Serge Gainsbourg's L'hôtel particulier:

Parker's business box
Josh Keyes; Drink
By way of convenience, sanitation and sheer laziness my bf built our Chi a balcony bathroom. Arguing over who would take her down to do business before bedtime and feet cleaning duties was getting old. On top of the fact that south beach is absolutely filthy and parasitic, she was attacked earlier this year by a rogue mutt. This super simple box has made all of our lives better. I recently stumbled upon a brand Doggy Duty that sells the same concept for urban dog owners except you can pick theirs up for a whopping $225! Ours in total, cost less than 40 bucks and it was made with love.
Here she is depositing her first pee. She acclimated quickly and now just does her stuff on command.
The box just requires some simple maintenance and grass up keep.
We need to remove the doo immediately (ofcourse) and water the freshly peed grass to prevent burning.
