my new obsession



i'm totally digging "portlandia" on ifc with fred armisen and carrie brownstein. i do wish it was more laugh-out-loud-funny. but, if you've spent any time in portland, it's quite amusing, nevertheless.

i've always wanted to be a runner


the year of fitness is going swimmingly thus far. totally digging my treadmill.

and, i've been doing the "couch to 5k" running plan (which i've already started and stopped twice in recent years).i'm on week 3 now, with the hopes of doing a 5k in april...

on verra!

really?

this cannot be a good idea.

happy presidents day!

sir barksalot!


apologies for the delayed postings. last week was a bit nutty with the illustrious westminster kennel club dog show in down.

thankfully, i was able to spy the one & only sir barksalot again this year. unfortunately, he was bested by a beautiful chinese shar-pei named miss jayne hathaway.

maybe next year, barkie!

gotta watch out for them


never trust those b*thces in season...

so true



just when i think that i've figured everything out, the universe throws me a curveball. and this pops into my head.

life *is* crazy, candy baby.

get the coins!


old school super mario + needlepoint = a very cool crafternoon idea!

true?

gotta love wikipedia and the ability to blur the lines between editorial and fact. case in point, an early reporting of the black eyed peas super bowl performance:

it's that time of year again...


DOG SHOW!

question


who invited johnny depp to the grammys?

question, part deux


was that elton john singing with the muppets?

why i feel old, part 31



i've been watching clips of pearl jam's unplugged lately, reminiscing.

i actually went to that taping. amazingly, i had won tickets off the radio on the day of my 16th birthday. the taping was a few days later.

my mom drove me down and came to the show with me. we waited outside the studios in astoria in the freezing temps. i think they let us in around 11pm and started taping around midnight. we then had to drive the hour and a half home - waaay past mom's bedtime. what a trooper.

it recently occurred to me that it was 1992 - 19(!) years ago. i'm old!

the aftermath



so, last night i was invited to an impromptu black tie awards ceremony for work. as i only found out that i was going in the morning, i had to run home to get dressed and rush back.

dinner was just fine and i even had to go on stage to accept the award that i really had nothing to do with. even funnier, however, is what i found when i got home:


did the tasmanian devil stop by while i was out??

oh, cleveland

football season may be over (only just), but thought i would post this find nevertheless. i just may have to root for the browns next season. hilarious - and a lawyer with a sense of humor, to boot:

who approved this? (doggie edition)


well, clearly cynthia rowley, but really? a doggie jacket with faux fur? first you take on pampers, now pampered pups? who approved this?

and the winner is...



sure, vw darth vader was super-cute. but as superbowl ads go, this was my favorite. even got the chills a little by the time they showed the marquee.

why i feel old, part 30


i love, love, love henry rollins. big winner. did i mention i love him?

apparently, ol' hank is turning 50 this week - 50! this, in turn, makes me feel old.

for as much as i do say that i want to be old, somehow the idea of 50 scares me a little. i'd totally be up for mid-30s going on late-70s.

let's just skip the next 4 decades, and get right to my blue rinse, ok? thanks.

my new obsession



this sweet jam from arcade fire has really grown on me. plus, who doesn't love sequins, ribbons and l.e.d.-lit suit jackets? flossy, flossy.

wrong, cont'd


oh, trenta. not only are you larger than the capacity of the human stomach, you apparently can hold and entire bottle of wine with room to spare. wrong, wrong, wrong.

if everything was designed by 5 year olds - this looks both disgusting and amazing at the same time.

happy groundhog day!

good question


also, where would i be without my ticket?

my new obsession


the "year of fitness" is off to a great start. i am totally loving my compact treadmill. excellent investment (so far).

for the love of america


so, are patriot candles for southerners who refuse to buy yankee?

speaking of eyepatches...


newscasters as devil & pirate - good one.

why i feel old, part 29


the other day, as i was headed to work i passed a group of teenagers and thought:
1) "you two are way too young for public kissing,"
2) "pull up your pants," and
3) "don't even get me started about the smoking."
