These are pretty cool. If you can get beyond the fact that the music is extremely methodical and technical, it’s at least visually stimulating and cool to see some kind of visual representation of some of the world’s most exquisite musical masterpieces. Check out the Music Animation Machine here.  And a different aesthetic to this one;     

Take a few minutes to watch this video. If you’re not moved by it, or at least a little inspired by it, then maybe you should take a few minutes to re-evaluate who you are. Just sayin’….  Thanks CC for passing this along, and thanks to Miller Jones for passing it along to him.   

My guy Obama is on the grind lately. I was on the fence with the candidates for a long time, but after the last few rounds of debates and what-not, I find myself wanting this dude to be my Prez. I do think this “Yes We Can” vid is kind of wacky though. Thoughts?  

Hey All. Been a quick minute– seems to be a trend with me. Anyhow, everything on this end is absolutely splendid. Loving the new digs, new job, new scenery, etc. Been working a lot, but it’s definitely stuff I want to be spending my time doing!  More on that later– maybe. On a completely unrelated note, this little dude is super on point. Check him out below singing Hey Jude. His little accent is priceless…

Thank you to everyone who made it out for my going-away get together at 611 last Saturday! It was great to see all of you under the same roof– very reminiscent of summertime. And wonderful to see your faces one last time before I migrated South for the winter. Here are a few flicks from the night, courtesy of Salts’ flickr page. I’ll miss all of you, but anxiously await your visits to the beautiful Bay area!

It’s been well over two months since my last blog (I know, I know) and in that two months a lot has happened in the life of Jenna. Namely a long-term and rather intense interview process, culminating with a great offer and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So with that being said, I should let you all know (if you don’t know already) that I’ll be leaving Seattle on the 3oth of January and moving to wonderful San Francisco. I’ve accepted an offer with Apple to be a Program Coordinator for their Campus Rep program, and I couldn’t be happier! It’s exactly what I want to be doing with myself right now, and everything so far has fallen together flawlessly! I received my official offer letter/packet a few days back and below are some photos. You have no idea how exciting it is to get a stark white folder in the mail, where the first page just says “Welcome to Apple.” It’s been a long-time coming, and I can’t wait to get down there and start throwing myself into my work! And I look forward to all of your visits, as well!

…tomorrow at 8am. Yep, I’m getting all four of my wisdom teeth removed, and I just found out about it 6 hours ago.

Came home for a long weekend, and my mom had booked me for a consultation with an oral surgeon– lucky (or unlucky) for me they had an opening tomorrow at 8am. I’m opting for full anesthesia, so I can’t feel, see or hear anything. Should be interesting… So be nice to me if I’m still all swollen and puffy when I return to the 206!

Come out to Havana Social Club tonight and get rum’ed out and listen to some music.

Tonight. OCT 29th from 6:30-9pm.

Serena Ryder and KEXP’s Kid Hops will be providing the music while Appleton Estates provides the RUM!

MUST RSVP at appletonRSVP.Seattle@Ammomarketing.com (tell them Fresh Produce sent you and it’ll get you a whole lotta nothign rsvp gets you and a guest in the door.

See you there Jay & Pheed!

This post was completely unnecessary– I just didn’t want to feel left out. Haha.

Mary Jean Null-Boulé, 1928-2007

A few posts back I blogged about my cousin Emily’s wedding. About two weeks after our family got together for the wedding, we found ourselves back together again–but this time to celebrate the life of my grandmother; Mary Jean Null-Boulé.

It’s hard for me to express with words the significance of my “Ma.” I don’t feel like anything I could ever write would be strong or poignant enough to do her memory any justice- nor would it feel appropriate to attempt a eulogy of sorts through a blog entry. But I felt like I needed to at least post something about her passing because it was a very significant loss for me, and has been on my mind a great deal.

My “Ma” was truly an extraordinary woman who meant so much to me and our entire family. A matriarch, in the truest sense of the word, that brought so much– including the special gift of music into my family. For this, I am not only blessed and thankful, but am delighted that it will forever be a part of her legacy. I learned so much from her- about life, love, loss, humility, charity and character. I will forever aspire to live a life as full and with as much spirit. She was a daughter, a mother, a sister, a lover, a musician, an author, a business woman, a teacher, a grandmother, a role-model, a #1 fan and a truly remarkable and wonderful person. Her smile and laugh would light up a room, and her beauty- although humbly dismissed, was captivating and undeniable. I will miss her greatly, but am so very thankful for the 22 years I was able to spend with her. I love you, Ma.

Super fly, huh? Haha. SO, I figured if The Pubs can get lighters– Fresh P can get skatedecks and graphic T’s, right?! hahaha. SIKE. Steven over at Trickwood (go visit their online store and buy some stuff!) brightened my afternoon by sending over some fake mock-ups for Fresh P merchandise. How funny is that? haha. So don’t worry, I’m not seriously hocking merch over here! But thanks Steven– you’re my favorite.
