why i can't wait to be old




i'm sure that a) i'm late to the party with this video and b) it's fake, but it's amusing nevertheless.

agreed


found via rue.

my new obsession



is digital shelter/lifestyle magazines - specifically, lonny & rue.

not only are they great resources, i can't hoard them and they don't clutter up my apartment.

check them out here & here!

who approved this? (like butta edition)


it's wonderful that barbara streisand has such a passion for design. but a $500 list price coffee table book?? who approved this?

...the rent is 2 damn high.



for readers not in new york, this dude is running for governor of our great state. his party is - no joke - called the "rent is 2 damn high" party. he even has his own theme song:



catchy.

well that's unfortunate


who doesn't love a good homepage takeover? but please, medal of honor, watch the baby.

remember when?


remember when you had to spend your winnings on prizes on the old wheel of fortune? and people bought that damn dalmatian?

my new obsession


i really want to organize my bookshelf by color.

goodbye, father dowling


another farewell this week, this time to tom bosley.

if you play a priest on tv, do you have a green light to heaven?

who knew?


last week, i had the please of walking past the world's largest applebees - who knew?

goodbye, mrs. cleaver

arguably, barbara billingsley's finest performance was not her work with the beave, but rather her impressive jive:

oh, IT


i found this cleaning out my work inbox...a back to scool sale. come on, IT - set your spell check to automatic, will ya?

admirable, but coco loco (pop star edition)


i'm glad that james blunt is an advocate for peace. but, planning on ending war through song? certainly admirable, but coco loco.

fall into the crap

don't get me wrong - i heart the gap.

they probably comprise a good 42% of my wardrobe.

but this logo fiasco is ridiculous. fail.

facebook, you know me too well



why yes, i am interested in:

> ad exchanges

> cats

> elegant cocktails

no nothing


don't even think about stealing nothing.

who knew?

apparently obama has a linkedin profile. who knew? in case you were wondering, people who have viewed have also viewed:


oh, craigslist


some of the "best of craigslist" is terrifying, but i did enjoy this ditty:

and if, per chance, you do know where i could procure a ceramic lionel, do let me know.

special manicure?


i have always been a nail biter - i know it's a bad habit, but it's one of the few bad habits that i have. so, i'm always super self-conscious and defensive when i get a manicure.

tonight, as per usual, i was treated to a few (underhanded?) comments in addition to my polish:
> "are you a student? you know students gets stressed with their exams." (um, no.)
> "oh, you're not? you look so young. no make-up." (is that a compliment or not?)
> "this looks like minor surgery" (ugh.)
> "you have small nails. like my baby's nails." (really? i have baby hands?)

sigh.

please


do not remove the frogs. thanks.

do we really need that?


along the lines of what i like to call "who approved this?," there's do we really need that? featuring such gems as the Fish N Flush - dual fish tank and toilet tank.

agreed - do we really need that?

question


in full disclosure, i have not watched raising hope.

that said, how is martha plimpton playing a grandmother?!

really?


ghost, the musical?

are we going to make a musical of every movie ever made?

elvis ain't dead


he's on this amazing cardigan sweater. and elvis in hawaii no less!

i heart tchotchkes


best tchotchke i've seen in a long time - a brass knuckle mug, a.k.a. a "fisticup." billed as being "for a knockout cup of coffee..."

when morning sneaks up on you, you need something that packs a punch, and this smashing new mug will deliver a fistful of your favorite beverage. sleek ivory high-fire ceramic contrasts dramatically with the steely metallic handle. consider it protection from whatever your day decides to dole out.

(thanks to KD for the find - and for the cup!)

dear facebook


this might be the creepiest ad i've seen yet on your site.

a fetus, in the womb?

really?

speaking of facebook...


if you're not sure how it works, ask the nearest teenager. or, feel free to call this winery and they will guide you on this fun online gathering place. what service!
