Let its beauty wash over you.

Ok. Sorry. That’s not real at all. But it is really awesome.

Gone too soon, AD. Gone too soon.

So when I saw this print, I knew that I wanted it.  And, Hayley, being awesome, purchased it for me.

The story would be awesome (ok, that might be a stretch)  if it ended there, but it doesn’t.

This weekend, we received the print. I excitedly opened the envelope and set the glorious print on the counter. Every time I walked by, I would pick it up and admire it. It truly is a wonderful piece of art.

Last night, Hayley was cleaning up the kitchen, and as I am wont to do, I left the envelope on the counter without throwing it away. She went to pitch it, but, fortunately, noticed some more items inside. Pulling them out, she discovered that elloh had also included a small print of Jim from the Office, a postcard with Flight of the Conchords, a signed certificate of authenticity from the artist and a small pin with a note informing us that we were amazing.

Needless to say, we were impressed.

So, if you are or some gift-deserving friend or family member is a fan of quirky art and good TV, you need to check out elloh’s shop on Etsy. You won’t be sorry.

Thanks, el lohse!

This Maeby my last post on the loveable Bluths…

Check out this MSNBC Commentary about Arrested Development.

Maybe it was time for the show to bow out, after all. Where would we go from here? How could Michael return to his family without turning from long-suffering and loyal to a simple glutton for punishment? And what would be funny about George Michael and Maeby in a normal teenage relationship? No, “Arrested Development” has developed as far as it can, and I can accept that, let go and look forward to new shows from the people responsible. Still, there’s a Pismo Beach motel called the Blue Seal I pass frequently, and it always makes me think “Ah yes, Lucille.” — Wendell Wittler

While I could’ve enjoyed several more seasons of the show, I have to agree that it’s best to not drag it out.

Farewell Bluths.

Despite months-long rumors of Arrested Development having been picked up by the Showtime Network, and star Jason Bateman’s confirmation that two new seasons of the series had been ordered, the San Francisco Chronicle reported on March 28, 2006 that creator Mitch Hurwitz will not be returning.

As Showtime had made it clear that Hurwitz’s involvement was a requirement for the continuation of the show, Arrested Development is considered by both its creators and fans as having reached its end on television.

However, one small, tiny, microscopic bit hope remains: Hurwitz has previously alluded to the possibility of a feature film.

I hate to bump my previous post already, but this news is too important to wait. It appears Fox has cancelled Arrested Development after its 13 episodes this season.

Christmas time is here…
