Bento Lunch Yummi-ness

Bento Lunch!

I was just clued into this Bento Lunch Box Flickr Set by Jizo Sama. It makes me hungry. You can find the “Mr. Bento” here. I’ve always wanted a bento box, ever since seeing them in use in My Neighbor Totoro.

The Air We Breathe

Relevant, smart eco-concerned installation art by Jenny Bergstrom. Reminds me a bit of Jenny Holzer’s work – I really like the incremental approach – work that changes as time goes on and interacts with the viewer.

via Coudal. Thanks, guys.

An interview with Mike Duncan

Mike Duncan, who makes my Monday’s a little more bearable with his weekly History of Rome podcast recently gave this informal interview. I thought it was delightful. Especially the comparison of modern politicians to ancient Roman leaders. Check it out, as well as his podcast.

Modern Dance & Tribal Dance Fusion

Donna Mejia Choreography

I’ve seen a lot of things fused with tribal bellydance in my time. Some of it quite good (Urban Tribal, The Indigo’s take “Opa Cupa”, Zoe’s pop n’ lock stylings). Other’s not so good. But I’ll leave those unnamed. This piece caught my eye. It’s tribal bellydance-esque choreography, but executed by student’s who’ve obviously spent a lot of time in formal, modern dance school. It’s rather awesome. The choreographer is Donna Mejia, Guest Artist in Residence for Smith College.

Crossing the Bridge.

Pascal Zoghbi
While looking for some Arabic calligraphy samples for my SCA-related hobbies, I stumbled on Pascal Zoghbi, an Arabic type designer and typographer. He’s got a blog, which is brilliant and geeky, as well as a website. Check out this post on vintage metal movable Arabic type!
