Beginners (2011)
Directed by: Mike Mills
Starring: Ewan McGregor, Christopher Plummer, Melanie Laurent
It’s 2003 and 38 years old graphic designer Oliver has lost his father, Hal, to terminal cancer. Before his death, Hal has just come out of the closet at age 75 after forty-five years of marriage. For the first time in his life, Hal could feel free and real - to love and be loved as his true self. He began outreaching to the gay community, going out to clubs and even dating. As the movie progresses with flashbacks and glimpses of Oliver’s past, we witness the dysfunctional and empty relationship between Hal and his wife. We witness how this has shaped Oliver’s own pessimistic outlooks on life and on love. However, Oliver has just met a girl - a French actress by the name of Anna who has father issues of her own. As he began to see the honesty and intimacy in the love shared between Hal and his new gay lover, we see changes - a new beginning for both Oliver and Hal to love and be loved.

Spring quarter has always been my laziest - a result of burning out from Winter. I’m only taking three classes so it’s quite relaxing even though I am still busy juggling extra-curricular, an internship and a job. I miss design so much though. No studio classes this quarter and I can feel the hot creative energy trying to burst out of my vessels.

First week of the quarter and I’m already sick. Instead of studying or going out, I’ve been cozying up in bed watching a marathon of Misfits.
CNN takes on slavery using InDesign
In a really cool departure from what they normally do, CNN has just released an online article filled with slideshows, videos and sidebars focusing on slavery in the African country of Mauritania. Made in the interactive document-making program Adobe InDesign, the article looks more like a PDF than the normal CNN article we’re used to.

Lover Song - The Finkielkrauts
Close your eyes and just listen to this. You’re alone on a wheat field at dusk. Nothing but you and you alone, with the summer breeze softly caressing your skin. You’re wearing white. The sky is fire. The ground is warm. It’s perfect for one moment - but only for that moment.
