my obsession with sharks (not suprisingly) started with a little movie i saw at about the age of 5.
it's still one of my all-time favorite films and i watch it multiple times a year.
so in my terrific fear of the monstrous creature i set out to learn as much as i possibly could-a sort of knowledge is power theory.the more i know the less likely that i'd die of a shark attack-at least this was my idea as a kid.so i started watching (and taping) discovery channel's shark week every year and reading any articles,books,etc. ,cataloguing as many bits of info as my brain could contain.eventually it grew into an immense respect and eventually an obsession.
at this point i'm known amongst friends as a virtual encyclopedia brittanica of shark facts. i actually get *excited* when i hear of a shark attack on the news and got teary-eyed when i heard that roy scheider (aka chief brody) died earlier this year-trust me i know it's weird.
i present to you now these shark-related items.
clearly a couple of the greatest cinematic moments in film history.
my favorite movie meets one of my favorite confections
of course one of the most infamous moments in television history
i totally want to live or work here someday:
and i will drive there in this
last summer my friend flynn was mangled in a brutal attack at the jersey shore.
casey riordan millard's artwork
the infamous damien hirst work from 1991:
" The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living"
(which i am THRILLED to report that it is apparently on display at the met until fall of 2010!!!)
oh how i love you mcfarlane toys!! (someone clearly needs to buy me this!)
