Jack-o'-Louie

I decided to carve a pumpkin dedicated to our favorite ginger of the year, Louis C.K. But alas, none of us will be dressing as Frederick Douglass this year.

Boo!

Dead Fan Walking

Since our marathon of a few weeks back, all we can do in this house is watch Breaking Bad. It's all I can think about, talk about, dream about. I just made my daughter a grilled cheese for lunch while I streamed another episode on my iPad next to the stove. I may burn my house down. We forgo sleep (not something I do lightly) to catch just one more episode before we pass out for the night. Damn you, AMC, for making us the walking dead. (And God grant us the strength to avoid taking that one up too.) The illustration of zombie Walter White is by Matty M. Cipov.

Filmkunst

Recently I was lucky enough to see these Piet Zwart-designed film magazine covers at the Art Institute of Chicago. The exhibit also included works by El Lissitzky, John Heartfield, and Gustav Klutsis. I was in montage heaven.

Jello Lab

As if we don't have enough shows to watch, we decided to take on another this weekend, staging a Breaking Bad marathon. What better way to celebrate than with beaker jello and drinks in laboratory flasks?
