Make it clear why you left the random article or message on your colleague’s work desk (or just use them for easy notation on staff meeting agendas) with these fun stamps. And, with the “dislike” button, you get twice the functionality (with paper and ink) over Facebook’s own features. Just when are they going to […]
Webster’s Pictorial Curiosities
I saw this book at the Paper Source on Wednesday, and it shall be mine – oh, yes…it shall be mine. Mind you, I didn’t buy it…yet. But it’s officially on my Amazon Wishlist. (Cough, cough. Is anyone married to me reading this? I’m just sayin’.) Not only is it a terrific book to flip […]
The Best Movie Scenes for Spring Cleaning
The world of cinema is a huge playground for the imagination, so it makes sense that we should watch a tearjerker film when we are in need of catharsis through a good cry, a romantic film when we are feeling, well, ready for romance, etc. But what about good, old-fashioned cleaning inspiration?

Free Online Literary Journal — Cerise Press

Super Bowl, “Wes Anderson”(ish) Edition
Slate asks a simple but fun question: what if major filmmakers could “direct” the Super Bowl? Enjoy the bloodbath, as “envisioned” by a faux Taratino, not exactly Lynch, a spot-on but not at all real Anderson, an imaginary Godard and (my favorite) nonexistent Herzog. Who is your favorite film director? And…action! Freckles,
