RIP john hughes.
i had a dream last night that i had to play a show i didn't know about, and i couldn't play the guitar everyone else was using, so i decided all i could do on short notice was my rendition of kate bush's "this woman's work". i had borrowed jc's 2002 which was part white, part orange, and held together by scotch tape with some foam damage on the outside. that's right, foam, not metal. i guess his model was different than mine. i digress.
yesterday at work we were talking about parents taking their kids to see movies and i remembered seeing the breakfast club with my mom in 5th grade with my boyfriend sitting a couple of rows in front of us. i remember wanting to crawl under the seats. i'm sure she hated it. but my sisters and i knew it line by line.
i saw sixteen candles later, once we had acquired a VHS player. and at every chance i got. it's a staple, really. i probably quote it on a daily basis without even realizing it. but then, maybe i do. and everytime i have squeaky shoes and rattly purse, you know who i sound like.
what can i say about ferris? i'll never know anyone that cool.
and pretty in pink... well, that movie dominated my life for a while. i had the hair, the vintage accessories, the altered clothing, the music, and later, yes, even the car. (my sister had two of them.) just never had the duckie (despite attempts). of course i agree with the rest of the world that the ending should've stayed the original way, but he made up for that with the little drummer girl getting her boy and bling for her ears. did i mention my nickname in jr. high was molly? yah. pretty bad.
i'm rambling, but my point is that this guy managed to make a few movies that may mean nothing to most, but ended up being so much a part of my life, i can't imagine who i'd be without having them as a part of my adolescent diet. that's entertainment.

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you just might miss it." Ferris Bueller ~
On a foggy, warm and wet January night a couple years ago at a busy intersection between Eglinton and Islington Ave.
If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
Also, I highly recommend picking up the Citizen Brick Teenage Car Thieves 3 pack. So great that I had to build a car for them.
The Ferrari 250 SWB California is one of the rarest and most expensive Ferraris out there, with one being sold for £5.5 million in 2009.
It's a few days late, but this my entry for the February Challenge on Lugnuts, called Viva Italia!.

Ferris Bueller
Life moves pretty fast.
If you don’t stop and look around once in a while,
you could miss it.
Ferris Bueller
the car in the film is a 1961 model. Later versions had larger bumpers and fog lights in the radiator.
The car was famously used (and destroyed) in the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, starring Matthew Broderick. They used replicas based on MG chassis for most of the shots of the car, with a real Ferrari used only for close-up shots.
Compared to some of the other movie cars I've built, this one is tiny. I didn't have a lot of space for the engine, but I did manage to build something engine-like in the front.

Explored 4/12/2010.
I was tagged by the tireless Mr. Sharp waaaay back in the beginning of the year. I’d put it off because I had something in mind that I wanted to do for it, and it would probably require warmer weather. So I had been kicking this idea around for a while now. I went out, bought a football (Craig, see that thing I’m holding up there? That’s a football :P ), and got back home as quickly as I could to catch the light. Now, you may notice that I’m not one for self portraits… as a photographer, I feel that I’m a horrible model and don’t take direction very well. That said, I’m going to give myself a pass on this one. While none of the shots turned out as I wanted, I attribute that to the fact that I got this done in three takes (background, and one for each character) because I took my son out with me and he wanted to play. If I were to do this over, I’d spend more time on poses and facial expressions.
“Rules” of the game, as I understand them: If you’re tagged, post a pic tagging 10 others and list 10 random things about yourself. No pressure to participate at all. Personally, I prefer to adopt the theme of my tagger… but there’s no way I can come up with 10 injuries in my lifetime that come close to Craig’s. I mean, I’ve broken my nose a couple of times, and burned my hand pretty badly, but that dude has held his own eyeball in his hand… So I’ll just do 10 random things, no theme per se.
I first broke my nose playing “follow the leader” on bikes. I was in the third grade. I ran into a tree. When I came to, I went inside and called my dad for a pick up. I must not have made it clear how badly I was hurt and bleeding because he walked the two blocks thinking I just needed him to carry my bike home. 21 stitches on my nose and eyelid. Scars are not as noticeable anymore.
I played a couple of years of lacrosse in high school. Never made it past the freshman or JV level. Unlike many of the other guys, I had never played before. Like a lot of things during that time of my life, I didn’t take it too seriously and didn’t put the work in that would have been required to advance.
I started reading outside of the “children’s literature” section fairly early. I started out with classics of the sci fi/fantasy genre such as Dune, Hitchhiker’s Guide ‘trilogy’, LOTR… These days, I tend to stick to non-fictional books on science and math.
I once attended a 2600 “meeting”. It really wasn’t a big deal. I’m no hacker, but even if I was, my feeling is that calling yourself that is kind of lame. However, I did hang out with guys in that community. One guy, a friend from high school I hadn’t seen in a while, chose the MD2600 monthly meeting as a place to meet up. I’m not sure what I expected, but there was little/no technical talk. It was really just a social gathering… most of the talk seemed like the kind of thing “Comic Book Guy” would be interested in.
Somehow, I’m told, my lineage traces back to a Thomas Woolner RA, a sculptor and poet of Suffolk…. Apparently he was a founder-member of the pre-raphaelite brotherhood. Charles Darwin named a feature on the ear after him, based off one of his sculptures. Darwin dubbed it the “Woolnerian Tip”, though it’s now actually known as “Darwin’s tubercle.”
Aside from Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee, I also share my birthday with one of my Aunts. She separated from my uncle a while ago, and we don’t keep in touch that much. HOWEVER, she got re-married on the exact same day as I got married AND she delivered her newest child on the same day Newbie was born… which just so happens to be my maternal grandfather’s birthday.
My wife is a Labor and Delivery nurse. This was kind of a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I feel I was better prepared than many first time dads when she was pregnant with Newbie. A curse because I’ve heard of some pretty tragic things that weighed constantly on my mind throughout the pregnancy.
I once left a perfectly good party to find a White Castle. Me and three friends drove up from Baltimore to New Jersey to find the closest one. Since I had to pick my wife up from work in the morning, we were on a time limit. We were about to give up and turn around when we saw one that the GPS didn’t pick up! We stopped, ordered crave cases, left, and got back to pick my wife up at 7:00 a.m. without incident. I was a little disappointed.
I have a record collection… you know, those vinyl things from back in the day? These things were never the primary format in my lifetime, but at some point in my early teens I inherited some records from one of my aunts, and I happened to have a record player/8-track at home. Over the years, I added a couple dozen to my collection. My parents are remodeling their house, and they’re telling me I have to take them in or lose them… they may be the subject of a photo sometime in the near future.
On the advice of Ferris Bueller, I once licked my palms in order to fake being sick so as to play hooky… Kind of pointless, as it’s not like I would’ve been left at home to my own devices should it have worked. Not only did it not work (my parents never checked my palms!) but ironically I did end up getting sick… probably from licking my palms.
I started building this on Friday evening, figuring that I;d be able to finish it on Saturday. It turned out to be a far more complicated build than I anticipated, however, with the half-stud offsets giving me lots of problems.
Made this 80's inspired wedding cake for my brother and SIL, basing it on a list they gave me of their shared childhood favourites from that era. Alternate angle photos of the full cake and close up pictures of the topper etc. follow in the set. I've also put a full list of all the 80's references included under the photo titled "80's Themed Wedding Cake - Full View 3".
All the figures etc. are completely edible, the only details not shown in this picture are the figures of Cheer Bear (behind the bride), and 'Doc' from Back To The Future who is on the corner of the Rubik's Cube below the A-Team van.
The front license plate of the van itself reads "OUTATIME", and the GMC was replaced with MRT. On it's back doors is "Just Married" spelled out in silver bullet holes. The little items behind the van are 80's style pepsi cans (pic. was taken before I had iced on the strings to tie them to the van).
With the frenetic pace of modern day life it seems that everyone is always in a rush to be getting along to some other place. Almost like whatever destination you're currently at is just a stepping stone to some other, better place. Which is surely a folly. Sometimes it's nice to just stop what you're doing and appreciate the moment. Or, as Ferris Bueller put it 'Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.' So there.
Made using spraypaint, stencils, text messages from my phone and some water droplets shamelessly stolen from MyDogSighs (and then inexplicably turned upside down) then affixed to a wall with one way security screws. Good luck getting that off.
Cheers

333 West Wacker Drive is a highrise office building in Chicago, Illinois. On the side facing the Chicago River, the building features a curved green glass façade, while on the other side the building adheres to the usual rectangular street grid. The architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates who designed 333 also designed the high-rise buildings 225 W Wacker to the east, and 191 N Wacker Drive to the south.
333 Wacker Drive was featured in the 1986 movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off

The 80's style pepsi cans were meant to represent Ferris Bueller as one was used to collect the money to "Save Ferris" and they crop up at certain points in the film, but I think I went a little too obscure on that one!
The truck (boot) can be opened, but unfortunately the construction of the lid takes up most of the space inside.
Making the most of my eyesight while it lasts! This stitching is about 6" long, on a napkin found in a charity shop.
Ferris Bueller lived in Chicago, but the actual home that was used in to film this movie in 1987 is in Long Beach, CA. This home was also used in 2002 for the filming of “Red Dragon” (sequel to “Silence of the Lambs”) with Hannibal Lecter and Preston's home from Not Another Teen Movie.
This home is located at 4160 Country Club Dr, Long Beach.

Just got back from an amazing fun-packed week in Tokyo. Took an enormous 8GB of photos – so there’s going to be a lot of sorting and processing to do. I’ll work on it slowly and make sure I only deal with the best.
This is a quick upload as a preview for what is to come. This French guy was kind enough to pose as a model for my whimsical idea of having a blurred chaos surrounding a man standing still. His English wasn’t so good, but he did his best to understand my manic directions. He was taking photos too, perhaps why he was so kind and understanding. I wish I’d asked for his email address though so that I could’ve sent him this photo…
For the time being, I’m taking a pause in my life, having a look around, and moving onto a new stage.
I’m looking forward to the future.
If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. - Ferris Bueller
Happy Bokeh Thursday! (theme of time)

I received this pin as a gift from my childhood friend Ed during a visit to his home in the summer of 1986. He also showed me a Ferris Bueller poster designed to fit in a locker. I had never seen movie merchandising so specifically targeted to a particular demographic before.
This is one of many curious items collected in JD's House of Miscellany.
Photo shot for the Flickr group 7 Days of Shooting.
The green glass reflective building on the left is called 333 Wacker Drive.
