Official trailer of Life In A Day. The film was directed by Kevin Macdonald, who received over 80,000 submissions (4,500 hours of footage) from people in 192 countries to make a documentary that attempts to capture moments of people’s lives in one specific day.
I love the idea that here is an attempt to capture the glimpses of a day that that may be overlooked otherwise. Below is a link to short article about the film:

I can’t believe it’s been almost 4 months since the last time I’ve been on Tumblr! I’ve missed this. Life’s been so busy since New Years but things are finally slowing down now.
Starting my first post of 2011 with a video that reminds me of everything I love about spring/summer. I can’t wait until it gets warm. I can’t wait until spring break!
The Tree of Life trailer. This looks like a beautiful film, I can’t wait for its release!

The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d”

“Remember above all things, Kid, that to write is not difficult, not painful, that it comes out of you with ease, that you can whip up a little tale in no time, that when you are sincere about it, that when you want to impress a truth, it is not difficult, not painful, but easy, graceful, full of smooth power, as if you were a writing machine with a store of literature that is boundless, enormous, endless, and rich. For it is true; this is so. Do not forget it in your gloomier moments. Make your stuff warm, drive it home American-wise, don’t mind critics, don’t mind the stuffy academic theses of scholars, they don’t know what they’re talking about, they’re way off the track, they’re cold; you’re warm, you’re redhot, you can write all day, you know what you know, like Halper; you remember that, Kid, and when you feel as if you cannot write, as if it is no use, as if life is no good, read this over and realize that you can do a lot of good in this world by turning out truths like these, by spreading warmth, by trying to preach living for life’s sake, not the intellectual way, but the warm way, the way of love, the way which says: Brothers, I greet you with open arms, I accept your frailties, I offer you my frailties, let us gather and run the gamut of rich human existence. Remember, Kid, the ease, the grace, the glory, the greatness of your art; remember it, never forget. Remember passion. Do not forget, do not forsake, do not neglect. It is there, the order and the purpose; there is chaos, but not in you, not way down deep in your heart, no chaos, only ease, grace, beauty, love, greatness…..Kid, you can whip a little tale in no time; it is a cinch, you are the flow of smooth thrumming power, you are a writer, and you can turn out some mean stuff, and you will turn out tons of it, because it is you, and do not forget it, Kid, do not forget it; please, please Kid, do not forget yourself; save that, save that, preserve yourself; turn out those mean little old tales by the dozens, it is easy, it is grace, do it American-wise, drive it home, sell truth, for it needs to be sold. Remember, Kid, what I say to you tonight; never forget it, read this over in your gloomier moments and never, never forget…..never, never, never forget…..please, please, Kid please…”

I learned about Layne Mosler aka the Taxi Gourmet early in my food blogging days and she’s been an inspiration ever since. I admire her wonderful writing and her dedication to her mission to find good, cheap eats via cabbie recommendations. A bit specific? Perhaps, but cab drivers work worldwide. What Layne has tapped into, really, is something quite global and utterly relatable for curious appetites everywhere.

Little pink lemon chiffon babycakes. Story, photos and more over on The Cupcaketologist.
“ The Lady Cake is a miniature lemon chiffon layer cake, topped with a fluffy lemon buttercream. From the outside it’s light, fancy and whimsical, something truly dreamy and sweet. But underneath it is sturdy and full of dimension, layer upon layer, building up to be one strong piece of cake.
When I think about the women I admire most, relatives, icons, friends and my mother, what I find in common is a rare mixture of both dignity and courage. She is the one who balances the line of grace and attitude. She is naturally private, always a step ahead, yet completely unafraid to elbow her way through to where she wants to go. She is a gentlewoman among men. She defies time and place. But most of all, she has gumption. ”
wow. http://thecupcaketologist.blogspot.com/ is wonderful.the cupcakes themselves are beyond amazing, but her writing is equally as heart-lifting and enjoyable. mmmmmm i wish i could have a “Cakebomb” right now.
