Just like in The Royal Tenenbaums

ALEC BALDWIN NARRATED TWO SEASONS OF THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE.



I was telling Lydia about how much my nephew Kaden loves Thomas, and she told me that Alec Baldwin and Ringo Starr were involved in the show. I didn't believe her, but YouTube confirmed it, along with Wikipedia.

Wow. Just. Wow.

Charlotte Gainsbourg + Beck

Oh boy. Another album to buy, but I have to wait until it's released in January.

Make-up

This photo is from Halloween. It's a little late to be talking about Halloween, hey? That's how I roll these days.

While everyone in this photo is awesome, I really want to talk about Michael's make-up. Those anime eyes were inspired by copied from the most recent issue of Colors magazine. Check out the original version here. If we had more time, we may have pursued a full Astro Boy costume, but I sort of love this look.

In addition to making last minute Halloween participation possible, this issue of Colors is interesting because it uses augmented reality: "Just find the square black-and-white codes printed on the magazine’s pages, aim them at a webcam and access ‘augmented reality’: meet the people featured in this issue through uncut interviews and behind the scenes footage."

It's fun, if slightly awkward. I recommend you get a copy and try it out!
