I’ve been working on my most recent yoyo zipper pouch and re-watching the final season of Pushing Daisies. It’s been over a year now, but I missed a few episodes while it was airing originally and am enjoying it so much all over again. I was just looking at the wikipedia page, and saw a couple things I had to share. 1. It’s described there as a “forensic fairytale” and that truly captures the entire show in only two words. and 2. It was originally meant to be a spin off of Dead Like Me, which makes so much sense and why I love both of these shows and lastly, 3. The Set Designer’s goal was to make it look like an illustration or a story book come to life. Everyone that watched and loved that show has one wish and that is to live in that world. Since that’s not possible, it definitely makes me look back at myself. If an entire show could be so well put together it really shouldn’t be that hard to make my little wardrobe and living space a bit more organized and pretty.
If you haven’t watched Pushing Daisies, you can watch it online at netflix, and here is the wikipedia page I was talking about.
Also here’s a memorable post about Pushing Daisies by pal Bri on her blog The Craft Begins.
AND if you have seen and love Pushing Daisies, but not Dead Like Me, then you should check that one out as well.
And unrelated – Since I got my phone I’ve been taking a lot more camera phone pictures and uploading straight to my flickr. My new phone is 2 mp, as opposed to my last phone which probably wasn’t even a whole mp. Tonight it got me thinking, why don’t they make regular digital cameras that can hook up to wireless and transfer picture files? They wouldn’t be used for phone or surfing the internet, but just could transfer the files directly from your camera to your email or a website. This way, I wouldn’t have to compromise quality for the ease of quick transfer. Rather than having to hook up my camera to the computer, transfer files there, then upload them, I could do it all straight from the source. Maybe they already have something like that and I’m just out of the loop?
