Steam enthusiasts have at least four opportunities a year to ride a steam train in Thailand. These day trips take place on 26th March (anniversary of the opening of the first public railway), 12th August (Queen’s birthday), 23rd October (anniversary of the death of King Chulalongkorn) and 5th December (HM The King’s birthday). Sometimes there are additional trips. Each trip has a different destination. The steam trains are usually kept at the workshops near Thonburi station when not being used. I have been there before to take pictures though officially it’s not open to the public.
Typeface in use:
Ricardo Marcin’s and Erica Jung’s (PintassilgoPrints) ultra-bold, cool and funky typeface »Manicuore«.
Manicuore is a hand-drawn typeface inspired on Italian movie posters by the prolific movie poster artist Symeoni (a.k.a. Sandro Simeoni). Being a talented and skilled painter, portraitist and illustrator, Symeoni enjoyed a long and fruitful career and was remarkably productive during the sixties and seventies. He counts over 3,000 works to his credit, which truly fed the imagination of several generations.
This all-caps font brings different lettershapes on upper and lower case slots, which work as alternates, providing handy options to spice up your compositions. When using it in OpenType savvy applications just turn on contextual alternates feature to instantly cycle lettershapes – a one click way for adding spontaneity while also preventing neighbor double letters from using the same glyph. To put the icing on the cake, Manicuore brings a cool set of graphic elements that match the typeface look and feel. An inspiring toolbox for creative lettering designs.

Hiking trail in the Chagrin Reservation, Willoughby Hills, Ohio, a part of the Cleveland Metropark system.
A bus from the collection of the Moscow Transport Museum, produced in 1947 — the very first year of mass production of the ZIS-154. It was discovered in the late 1980s and early 1990s on a dacha plot near the Moscow region town of Shchyolkovo, where the bus was used as a utility structure: its interior was fitted with a shower and used to store firewood. In 1992, the bus was transported for restoration to the Aremkuz factory, and four years later, the restoration was completed. Interestingly, although several preserved examples of the ZIS-154 are known, this bus is the only one with a fully functional power unit and is capable of moving on its own.

Автобус из коллекции Музея Транспорта Москвы выпуска 1947 года — самого первого года серийного выпуска ЗИС-154. Обнаружили её на рубеже 1980–1990-х годов на дачном участке возле подмосковного города Щёлково, где автобус использовался в качестве хозяйственной постройки: в его салоне был оборудован душ и хранились дрова. В 1992 году автобус перевезли для реставрации на территорию завода «Аремкуз», а четыре года спустя работы по восстановлению завершились. Кстати, несмотря на то, что на данный момент известно о нескольких сохранившихся образцах ЗИС-154, именно этот автобус является единственным с полностью рабочей силовой установкой и способен двигаться самостоятельно.
I went to Graceland at the beginning of the summer and fell in love with the poodle wallpaper in Gladys Presley's bathroom. I created the poodle embroidery on this dress and the dress itself with that in mind:

Wie bei vielen technischen Dingen, die ich besaß oder besitze, unterzog ich den Ghettoblaster (auch Boombox genannt) einer Fotosession.
Mit dem klassischen Design hat der Hersteller einen tollen Gegenentwurf zu der rundgelutschten Unterhaltungselektronik geschaffen, quasi als Kontrapunkt zur Smartphonegeneration.
Das Gerät hat alle nötigen digitalen Features, die heute üblich sind. Neben dem Kassettenrecorder, der von allen Quellen aufnimmt, gibt es UKW/ DAB+, USB-Wiedergabe und -Aufnahme, Bluetooth, CD-Wiedergabe (Aufnahme auf Kassette oder als MP3 auf Stick möglich). Da die Mittel- und Langwelle eh tot sind (Funkamateure werden mir sicher sagen, dass das nicht so ist), wurde auf diese Wellenbereiche verzichtet.
Die Belegung der Bedienelemente hätte ich evtl. anders gelöst. Der Lautstärkeregler ist nicht der große Knopf links oben (welcher tatsächlich die Quellenauswahl vornimmt), wie man vermutet hätte (weil rechts der Senderwahlknopf ist, ein Schema, das seit den Röhrenradios Gültigkeit hatte und oft eingehalten wurde), sondern ein kleiner Drehknopf links unten. Auch sind die kleinen Drehregler etwas wackelig, das hätte anders gelöst werden können. Aber bei 299 € will ich dem gekauften Gaul mal nicht zu tief ins Maul schauen.
Alles in allem fühlt es sich wie vor 35 Jahren an, wobei ich mir damals so ein Gerät hätte nie leisten können (die gab es meist als Grauimporte nur im Gebrauchtwarenhandel).
Here's what I wore to teach the kiddos art this week...and here's the masterpieces I paired my looks with:

The term "collective memory" denotes the aggregate of memories and knowledge, that a social group holds, which is intrinsically linked to the group's identity. Maurice Halbwachs, a philosopher and sociologist, developed this concept in his 1925 work, «Les cadres sociaux de la mémoire». Various social collectives can create, disseminate, and inherit collective memory.
Contrary to the term "collective memory, the notion of "collective memories" is inherently problematic. Memories are the results of the individual acts of recollection, making the idea of "collective memories" paradoxical. Diffusion models, utilizing vast amounts of data, including historical and personal old photographs, may be seen as involved in the prompts-driven singular acts of remembrance, producing images that paradoxically represent "collective memories," something otherwise unfeasible and ultimately, non-existent.
This is most of the upstairs of my little house. The bed, pillow, rug, blue and red-lined cubbies, ladybug, mushroom, clock, and bunny are all from the Megahouse Retro Style Collection (Happy Story Series, 2004). The rest of the items are from the Re-ment room series, which I have heard called "Room Data," "My Petite Room," and "Room Collection." There are five sets in the room collection, and this photo shows items from four of them, the Scandinavian room, the modern room, the princess cabinet, and the Japanese room.
By the way, I got the idea of putting the Retro Style/Room Data furniture into this house (Sylvanian Families Rose Cottage) from these very cute Flickr photos of the "Figumate House": www.flickr.com/search/?q=figumate house&w=all. So it's not my idea at all. : )
