My Favorite Magazine
I was first caught off-guard by this magazine four months ago. I've loved every page of both issues I've read since. Recently their site relaunched. The improvements are many. The magazine is still a but above the rest. Think Wired meets National Geographic meets Scientific American meets Harper's meets Poetry magazine. More science and geek than any of the rest.

Directors Label :: Michel Gondry
The Work of Michel Gondry: "French-born Michel Gondry is known for his visually groundbreaking imagery and re-interpretations of reality. A former drummer, his first collaboration with Bj�rk for 'Human Behaviour' (featuring Bjork as a hunter who eventually winds up inside a bear's stomach), helped revive what was then a dwindling music video industry, and went on to win nearly every music video award.
The project sparked a creative relationship between Gondry and Bjork, which led to five more videos. Gondry has also directed the Rolling Stones' 'Like A Rolling Stone,' Beck's 'Deadweight' (set in a world in which everything is reversed); and Radiohead's 'Knives Out' (featuring a life-size version of the Operation board game where Thom Yorke and his 'girlfriend' play out the demise of their relationship), as well as videos for the Chemical Brothers, the White Stripes, Daft Punk, and the Foo Fighters amongst others.

It just clicked
One day I woke up and nothing about smoking seemed appealing any more. I have no idea why this happened. I’d tried quitting on numerous occasions. But my devotion seemed only to click when I developed an aversion to the taste. I wasn’t hypnotized (that I know of) but it would seem to be a similar result. Wish I could say it had to do with incredible will-power, but that’s just not the case.
