Just a quick snippet: For those of you who are Sufjan Stevens fans, the guy has finally peered his head out a little from his shell to write up a review on band, Cryptacize, which is on his label's roster of artists.

The band itself is a little quirky, a bit simplistic and take-me-as-I-am ish. Or, you could just read Stevens' review on them and enjoy his metaphors and quirky similes and comparisons (oh wait, metaphors, similes, comparisons, they're all the same thing!). Anyway nice to say, the guy has cut down on his usage of run-on-sentences, and that whole writer thing he intended to do is starting to shine through.

Read it here.

I just started getting into designer toy culture (yet another hobby, I should not be spending money on) and I have to admit it's pretty darn cool. I know it's been around for awhile, but while I was at Giant Robot's store in NYC, in the East Village, I couldn't help but snatch up these baby Treesons.



If the name didn't give it away, these guys are based off the story of Treeson and Ren. Basically Treeson is this character that's friends with the trees, who gets killed defending the trees. The story runs like a spinoff sixth sense, but the characters are cute and it's interesting at least and did I mention super adorable, already?!

Yes I know these are kind of a waste of money but they're so cute and fun! And if you've gotten into this hobby this is old news for you, but I love it anyway.
