This just isn't my week

Ok.  So I've recovered from the internet outage of 2010 (with a new internet service provider, might I add) and have come to the table with fresh eyes. In order to make up for my crappy posts this week, I blew off work that NEEDED TO BE DONE to write a lovely post for you about a Texas family living in Las Vegas with a hot glue gun.  Sound familiar?  Yeah, 3 hours into my expose I learned that which my internet outage had been hiding from me:  ERIN WROTE ABOUT IT WEDNESDAY.  So, what are we to ascertain from this situation:

1.  Erin and I are slowly fusing into one person

2.  Time Warner cable is not my friend and they deserved my desertion

and finally, and most importantly

3.  One three hour post does not beget another so today you get another video because i just can't type anymore.

I strongly encourage you to spend the rest of your Friday afternoon evading your boss and watching all of the videos from Pleix here.  If you get fired, don't blame me, it's totally Designer's Brew's fault for sending me that awesome link to begin with.  Thanks DB!

Friday on a Tuesday

The post I have for you today is looks a lot more like a Friday post (short, sweet, pretty) then a Tuesday post (long, labored, totally hilarious) but, you see, I was working on a traditional Tuesday-style post when I came across this Friday-style content and I just could not keep it secret until the end of the week. I don't even think I heard a word of the song in this video I was so enchanted by all the scenes.  If you're at the office, turn off the volume, you don't need it, it's just that rad

Normally the recreation of famous works of art in a music video would get a giant eye roll from me, but I like that these dudes aren't taking themselves too seriously or trying to show off their art history knowledge.  It's just fun.  I like it.

Thursday you'll get a long post.  Promise.

Towards a New Geometry

Bang, bang, Baroque is dead. There's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Euclid. Along with Deputy Pythagoras, Sheriff Euclid is here to promote order -- no blurry lines for this straight edged law man. Still, Euclid ain't afraid to loosen up and get all scalene in the hizzy. So bust out your protractors and compasses, and don't forget to bring your perpendicular polygons. Kids, we're gonna wax axiomatic today.

Softly rounded biomorphic ribbon chairs by Pierre Paulin are the perfect foil to hard angles. via Karl Anderson.

Hot shiny circumference supported by sexy supplementary angles = featherweight heavy hitter. Geo Side Table by West Elm, $199.

Kelly Wearstler knows a thing or two about balancing solid forms. I love this idea. Going to tell The Hunny to bust out his whittling knife and get busy.

Who wants a piece of the Pi? Just don't forget to square the radius, or you may end up with a wimpy circumference. via Ngoc Minh Ngo

These wee Hexpods would be fab dangling from fishline, forming a constellation of acute angled beauty. I would paint them gold and silver and hang them in front of a black wall. Small Hexpod is $9.95 from CB2.

Hexagons and rhombuses, unite! via Ruy Teixeria

Chad Hagen's Nonsensical Infographic No. 1 may not prove any corollaries, but it does demonstrate how beautiful spatial relationships can be. Prints available through 20x200.

No funny stuff, just crushing on these rectangles. I want this painting bad. via Ngoc Minh Ngo.

Apparently the home owner never leaves his house. I wouldn't either if I had a pool flanked by these mirrored isosceles megaliths. via OWI

I'm considering this rug for my redesigned living room. It's probably too busy, but think of how much cat hair it would hide. Ikea Stockholm Rug, $229.

Wouldn't it be awesome if just one window in your house had beevision? You have to appreciate how orderly those little captains of industry are. via Ruy Teixeira.

Balance. Mathematical perfection can come from a paint can. via Christoph Theurer

Boho Geo Fringe Pillow courtesy of Urban Outfitters, $38. Love it.

This is quite possibly the coolest bathroom I have ever seen. Something tells me I can't get those cabinets from Ikea, but that's not going to stop me from lusting after their trapezoidal beauty. via Christoph Theurer

That's it for today's roundup. Hopefully you were all able to follow along, and are prepared to take a pop quiz. Questions: What do you think of this new trend? Do you mourn the absence of curlicues? Could geo peacefully coexisit with flowery damask?
