Helloooo handsome

clipper's remarks: Have you been watching New Amsterdam? It's a terrific new series starring the uberyummy Nicholaj Coster-Waldau as a Dutch soldier who was nearly killed in 1621, protecting a Lenape woman. It turns out that she's a shaman, who repays him by making him immortal, until he finds his one-and-only.

He's been looking for that one-and-only for over 350 years, and reinventing himself every 10 years or so, so he doesn't have to explain his non-aging deal. We get 300+ years of historical flashbacks, plus an enigmatic disarming protagonist.

We've seen six of the eight episodes thus far, and I like it more each time. I sincerely hope it comes back.

Broadcast on FOX, and already with a fan site: New Amsterdam Forever

Good Friday

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 03:28:47 GMT

clipped by: boliyou
clipper's remarks: Today is Good Friday, the day marking the execution of Jesus Christ.

Catholic tradition holds that the faithful should remember the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus on this day. St. Francis of Assisi created a list of 14 "Stations of the Cross," to help his students remember the chronology of events.

I wasn't raised in a Catholic household, but a good many of my friends in school were Catholic. I knew of the stations of the cross, and I've seen the pictures, statues and carvings in various churches, but I didn't really know the stations themselves.

List Universe has thoughtfully listed the stations, fully illustrated. Timely and helpful.

18 piece religious art made from junk

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 20:51:22 GMT

clipped by: boliyou
clipper's remarks: "The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations’ Millennium General Assembly" titles this collection of extraordinary pieces, cobbled together over 14 years by James Hampton. Hampton was an African-American janitor in Washington, DC.

A man of modest means, Hampton rented some storage space in an alley and created this work out of discarded bits of foil and plastic, junk furniture and second-hand items.

The work wasn't discovered until after his death in 1964, when the landlord of the storage space opened it up to clear it out. It now resides in the Smithsonian's folk art display.

For when bacon bits just won't do

clipper's remarks: Not Martha came up with a cool idea that will coax even the most anti-salad person: make the salad bowls out of bacon.

Maybe she can fill them with individual meatloaves...

Stix + Stones necklace

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 18:26:44 GMT

clipped by: boliyou
clipper's remarks: Versatile necklace made of magnetic tubes and beads. It's rearrangeable into several different designs, and you can buy more pieces to make even more. I like this particular design, and how easy it is to change the designs out from edgy to casual to formal, from feminine to geometric.

Channeling Hitch

clipper's remarks: LiveJournal user Deeda Blair has scanned in all the pages from 3/08 Vanity Fair's Hollywood issue.

Celebrities are photographed in vignettes from Hitchcock's best-known films. Some (like Jodie Foster) are spot-on. Others (like Kiera Knightley) are the wrong actor for the role. Others (like Seth Rogan) are just...no.

Taken altogether, it's a fun spread. Enjoy.
