1.) Ok....I know this NOT a brand new movie.......but I wanted to recommend "The World's End"
This a 2013 British science fiction apocalyptic comedy film directed by Edgar Wright, written by Wright and Simon Pegg, and starring Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, and Eddie Marsan.
It is the third in the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, following Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007). This film follows a group of friends who discover an alien invasion during an epic pub crawl in their hometown. I thought it was super well done. Funny - CLEVER.......British....you know....all around top notch. Here is the trailer. Go see it tonight!!!
And kinda topical!!!!!!!!!
2.) Ok...so I seem to be always on the lookout for a great speaker option for my iPhone. Thanks to MobileFun.com....I found this:

The "Gum Rock Bluetooth Portable Suction Speaker Stand"
Yes...I picked ornage - but you could choose from a few more 'tame' colours'...
but why??? Not only does it have a very good sound......I was actually impressed with the sound quality.....it also has a cool suction pad that can be used to prop up my phone!

3.) This is creepy/AMAZING!!!! Doilies of Imminent Destruction - yes.....you heard me correctly!!
"…doilies have a function… to beautify the ugly. They are meant to cover the water stain on the side table, the worn spot on the chair arm. Conversely, they are also used for protection in this sense, to prevent our furniture from becoming damaged in the first place. To protect the appearances of our domestic space, despite what might be underneath. Doilies also speak to an old-fashioned nostalgia. They are accouterments of another era, and reminders of gendered labor. Tatting and crocheting lace doilies was a domestic task for generations of women, laborious and painstaking. The desired outcome was a perfection of form that would become an heirloom, evidence of a desire for beautification. But as we have seen in each of the disaster sites depicted, perfection is unrealistic — stitches are dropped, mistakes are made, the human hand is always present, sometimes to disastrous ends.”
SUPER COOL, HUH?? Lauri has a show opening in New York on September 27th, at 632 on Hudson - and you can CLICK HERE to see more!!
