I largely work from home. And I’m definitely not complaining about it. Sitting on the couch and working while I have whatever on the TV is nice. This morning I made my mug of coffee, sat on the couch, and got ready to check emails (This is how I almost always start my mornings, unless I need to be somewhere working outside of the hizzy that day.). Before I started to really dig into the emails, I decided to find something to turn on Netflix. I stumbled across a show called Oddities. And it is SPECTACULAR.
This show takes place in a shop in New York called Obscura and they specialize in …..well….oddities! Just in case you don’t know what an Oddity is…
odd·i·ty
the quality of being odd; singularity, strangeness, or eccentricity.
Synonyms
1. rarity, curiosity, wonder.
The shop carries mostly real skulls/skeletons of people and animals alike. Pieces of taxidermy. Animals in jars. (bonus points of these pieces are like two headed calves, or a pig with one cyclops eye). Antique medical equipment. Anatomy charts. You get the picture. I am into all of these things. Seriously. Maybe it is the mixture of morbidity and science that gets me.
You see the most amazing finds on this show, and then on top of that, their client base is quite interesting to watch also. Also the owners work with this guy named Ryan who is a ‘bone guy’. If you bring this guy a pile of bones, he can make a pristine display for you.
Here are some things you may find in Obscura:
anatomical models. But they have ones that are made to look and feel like actual organs that were used for doctors in training.
So when The Hubs and I get around to taking our trip to New York, we will definitely be stopping by Obscura.
And here is a video of Edgar, who is running in a race for best person or thing every introduced to this earth. He is apparently a brilliant poet/playwright.
Edgar speaking about one of his plays…I just like to hear him speak.

Yum.
I always have said, if I would have been A) single and B) more adventurous when I graduated high school, I would have went away to film school. But I didn’t. Looking back I really believe the first time I ever thought about filmmaking was when I was in middle school and read Stephen Kings Christine. I had never seen the movie and waited until I was done with the book to watch it. Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed and dreamt of remaking the movie by the time I was 25. I’ll be 25 in about three months. I also started writing a screenplay when I was in middle school. I believe I called it ‘Two Can Keep A Secret’ and it fell in the horror genre. I have no idea where that is floating around. I still think about these things and am very interested in how movies are made. I’m the type that watches all of the commentaries and special features. By myself because my husband has little to no interest. If you aren’t this type you might not want to watch this video of PTAs three minute film school commentary to the beginning scene from Boogie Nights. This movie is epic by the way.
A pretty polka dotted scarf, black stripedy sweater, and riding/militia style hat. I can’t decide which one.

And some bones for the pup.
Third stop – the husbands favorite place….Bed Bath and Beyond. He bought some boring things like oxo canisters, chip clips, and a tervis tumbler national championship Alabama football cup?
Then Best Buy to spend his leftover christmas gift card, he chose a car charger for his Iphone. I know, loads of excitement from us.
