Every time I go shopping these days I end up getting stripes. It seems to be inevitable. I tried for a while to stop getting stripy things, but the cutest clothes seem to always have a line on them. So I am going to continue to embrace the stripe until it goes out of style.
25 Instructional Video from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo.
When I worked in production for Steelroots TV, I met the Invisible Children kids when they were just a small tour of young people with a few videos about their terrifying discovery on a trip to Africa. Now they are a movement, and forerunners in ending the war on children and the beautiful Ugandan people. If you don't know about Invisible Children, go to their website and watch all about it... (and grab some tissues before you do).
This video is a new campaign they are running to fundraise truly putting a stop to this movement of terror... and anyone can be a part of it... Pretty amazing!
Get inspired.
When I was little I used to have a small obsession with cream. Maybe because it was only meant for my mother’s coffee or that it came in a smaller box, or because I wasn’t supposed to have it. But I had a secret ritual. I used to climb on top of the counter and get one of my dad’s shot glasses from his small collection on the shelf and pour a tiny shot of half and half or full cream if we had it, and take tiny little sips crouched on the counter reveling in my surreptitious moment.
Although I have never been much of a milk drinker since, in fact in times I have been quite intolerant, there still remained a mysterious intrigue for this cup of mystery. As an adult I always wanted to taste whole- real milk, freshly farmed from the cow (I know big dreams right?) and one day I found a way to do it. It is actually illegal to sell unpasterized or “Raw” milk in NC so you have to purchase it from SC farms. I heard about a milk truck that meets in a parking lot in SC every other Wednesday for different food co-ops etc… so I emailed the place and put in my order. : 2 gallons of whole milk. I drove there early on my fateful day and waited in the parking lot. Since raw milk can't be sold in NC , meeting in the secret parking lot to get my treat made this special. A big truck pulled up and the milk delivery began. I stood in line got my gallons and went home. Did you know that fresh milk usually lasts about 5 weeks? The whole drive I pondered pulling over and taking a sip right out of the container- this was my dream realized you know. But I wanted to wait. I wanted to see it pour in that cup and drink it right.
I got home and poured the tallest glass of milk. It was an off-white color and plumped out like thick slow-moving deliciousness. I drank the whole glass enjoying the first several sips. It was a dream. But soon after my assignation, I was feeling sick. I didn’t know when milk is fresh you have to shake it or else you are drinking STRAIGHT CREAM. Which I had just guzzled a glass of the richest cream ever. The sickness continued and my desire for milk decreased intensely. That was the end of the affair right then and there. I couldn’t even handle looking at it after a few more days. However, occasionally I still want a tall, shaken glass of farm-fresh milk.
This might be the weirdest thing you’ve ever read, or you might want to go pour yourself a glass of milk!
Cheers to milk.
