The Hipster Olympics

...Shaun, no one, not even these guys can beat you on apathy. Well done.

For sneaking a drink

If I were able to keep a bottle of booze for very long, I would purchase these to place in them. I love colored lights, and these are awesome for when standing in the darkened kitchen looking for something to sip. However, the only bottles that would be lit would be empty, somewhat defeating the purpose.

Resharpen and Cut

For when killing trees with woodcarving isn't enough, now there is artist Jennifer Maestre to create sculptures from pencil bits.

Personally, I want to see what she does with the middle parts.

Where Rainbows Come From

I've never been much of a letter writer or purveyor of cute notepads, but if I were, this would be the one I'd use. Nothing sends the message of "I Love you Grandma!" or "Thanks for the Gift" quite as well as this note pad from Nut and Bee. They specialize in all the standard forms of cuteness that can be found on stickers, pins, notepads, etc. including Ninja Giraffe and Bunny Lump. But for someone who can handle this type of cute overdose.

Fantastic artists always astound me. And make me want to pull out my paints and oil pastels and go to town.

I need to be a hippie

The Bubble Project

Sometimes I wish I lived somewhere with it's own personality instead of this sterile monstrosity of a metroplex. I need to move where art is actually encouraged in all its forms.

It's a shame I was only 2 years old

Early adopters of the iPhone weren't the only ones receiving in-store credit from Steve Jobs. In an overlooked announcement, Jobs said that early adopters of the Apple Lisa would be receiving a $7000 in-store credit.

Food I'd like to try

"Here's how the Cannibal Banquet works... a pinata-like "body" is carefully crafted, then stuffed with edible goodies in a red sauce. More "sauce" is somehow embedded into the outside covering - "skin" as it were - of the body so that it will appear to bleed when cut into. By this time, most of us would have lost our appetites, but I digress... Anyway, the prepared body (who appears to be wearing a wedding ring!) is wheeled into the dining room on a hospital gurney and a courteous host wielding a scalpel begins the operation. From the looks of it, plenty of alcoholic beverages are required to keep the patrons in the mood to chow down, cannibal style!"

Too Early to Be Awake

I really need to quit writing posts while drunk and sleepy. Seriously.

From what I wrote that can be addressed while half coherent:

Male friends suck when that's what you mostly have. When playing a video game as a female in a group of males, you get divided into 2 groups: badass chick if you do well, or just a girl when doing badly. Grr.

I love RvB.

Extended family events suck, b/c most of the time they only want you to show up if you bring a gift. I was part of the first wedding years ago. Why do I need to buy you things now?

Adrian and I just celebrated 4 years a few days ago. Anyone who feels like it should freely contribute to the travel fund I'm trying to put together by sending me money or things I can sell.

Damn I'm sleepy. Copius amounts of whisky and a few hours just does not cut it. Stupid family.

At least I'll have the cool companions

So I have had things I wanted to post this last week. However, my overwhelming apathy and realization that only like 2 people read this made me realize I just didn't care. Add in that even though so many people really believe I don't work, I've had my ass handed to me this week and am glad or tomorrow's day off. I miss the old days when my responsibility laid on my own shoulders instead of answering for all the mistakes made everyday. Bloody exhausting being the mother hen. Here is to the bottle o bull wine already ingested and the hopeful buttload of posts to make up for the silence.
