Bizarre short film imagines Paris abandoned and flooded for mysterious reasons.

I LOVED the opening scenes of 28 Days Later, so I'm mesmerized by this.

French Number Plates - set of 4

Lovely.


A set of four plates numbered 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in French. For appetizers, for salads, for cheeses, for desserts...for keeping track of the courses when your mind is elsewhere. A bright white china decorated with chocolate brown numerals. Diameter 8"

Rue de Boba Fette.

Not ONLY is he a local boy AND create one of my favorite TV shows, he's got awesome infographic superpowers.

People really do win travel contests.

I say this from personal experience – I'm leaving for Paris today, courtesy of Corbis Image's "Storied" twitter contest. Less than 2 seconds of my life spent re-tweeting a message won me a trip for two to France. CRAZY.


So things may be quiet around here until next week when I get back. I've got some very important business to attend to.



(FYI - because I'm a contest addict, I've started a sweepstakes & travel contests page on Facebook, if you're interested.)

A bientôt! Je vais à Paris! Merci bien, Corbis!*

*Yes, I totally used Google Translate for that.
