The site’s in even more disarray than usual this morning, but we—which is to say, our amazing programmer who actually lives in Ukraine, which is ridiculously amazing!—are working on it. In the meantime, we thought we would share this ridiculously, unbelievably beautiful poster for the Italian movie I Am Love—tragically not in theaters until June, but now showing at Sundance. (Where we are.) This movie has an ending that was so amazing we are going to try to see it again, but this is, safe to say, the typographical equivalent of the amazingness.

Last night was one of those nights we stay up until 3 a.m. watching Criminal Minds. This morning was one of those mornings where we woke up at nine o’clock, completely aware, convinced we would never make anything of ourselves—fully aware that Kim Kardashian is going to be more successful by virtually every available metric than we ever will be. Then we went back to sleep for another two hours. In between we dreamed about terrorists attacking Park Slope. We’re blaming it on our cold. We definitely need to get a dog. A dog who could go with us to India on Sunday.

When we get in moody moods like this, we always find ourselves thinking of the things we love most—and it is inevitably the things people make. This week, it’s most definitely Mercedes Helnwein, above, and in this hopefully working gallery slideshow below. (We just paid $15 to a programmer in Indonesia to figure it out, and it was perhaps the best $15 we’ve spent in a while.)

Mercedes Helnwein is showing at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery in LA from November 14. We’d go if we weren’t going to be in India, thinking how much we’d like a dog.
