Happy 2008

Happy New Year, all. Hope your NYE was all it was hyped up to be. Now that you've had your fill of "best of" lists and year's-end retrospectives, let's do a little thing I like to call moving on. Though I'm all for learning from the past, I don't dwell on it. I'm usually too caught up in the present and dreaming up the future to linger too long, or too wistfully, over days gone by. If ever I feel the odd pang of nostalgia, I have plenty of photo albums and journals to revisit for a fix. Note: my disdain for the sentimental past does not apply to vintage, obvi.

Here are a couple of ways to start scheming up the adventures that await in '08.

If you want to invest in a calendar you can use year after year, the Imbroglio wall calendar designed by Jean-Pierre Vitrac is a fun option.  Available for £52 @ the Design Museum.


Feeling nostalgia for pasts I didn't actually live to see is quite a different matter. This desk calendar, made up of classic movie posters, is now on sale for $3.99 @ the MoMA store.
