really?

just so i'm not mistaken, fergie ferg...your christmas card greeting is your dog peeing "happy holidays" on your husband. do i have that right?

why i heart the queen

she takes the train to get home for the holidays...just like the rest of us. well, first class, of course.

hmm...

now, why would i be interested in this non-story?

must be nice

wow. when i was 22, i think i was making 0.02% of this. sigh.

phew!

apparently, there was an internet hoax proclaiming that jon bon jovi was dead. thankfully, he & his coiffe are alive & well in new jersey.

my new obsession

...are open-top buses. i went on 3 in 3 cities over the course of the last month. maximized efficiencies by hitting all the highlights and fresh air to boot. love.

partisan tea

my mother thought it would be amusing to send me iced tea...from rush limbaugh. i'm not one for politics, but it's pretty tasty.

wow

first, this headline was amusing...but the mug shot was amazing...

double fortune

what are the odds that i'd get the same fortune back to back from two different restaurants?

guess who

oh, tiffany. what happened to you face?! age is not kind...

stat of the day

39% of smartphone users are using their smartphones in the bathroom.

stat of the day, part deux

78% of Facebook photos are of drunk people

who knew?

according to adweek, the #1 most shoplifted item around the holidays is...wait for it...filet mignon!

who knew that so many peeps were stuffing raw meat down their pants and high-tailing it out of the store?! so meaty.

dedicated

some might consider it depressing, but i've always loved reading dedications on park benches, trees, etc. i stumbled upon this one near the boat house in central park earlier this year -- precisely around the time i needed it most.

ghost mash-up

surprisingly, i've never seen the movie ghost. hopefully the bazillion times i've seen ghostbusters more than makes up for it. slimer was in both, right?

this little gnome...

has been a busy little bee! last up, san francisco. but, back home and hopefully blogging again...it's been a while.

everywhere you look

oh hey, uncle jesse.

can't. look. away.

this is straight up bizarro. not sure what it has to do with panasonic or the olympics, but i couldn't stop watching.

so true

sad, but true.

maybe i'll adopt a cat...

happy thappy!

i'll be across the pond celebrating the anti-thanksgiving, but have a great turkey day nonetheless!

this little gnome...

has not posted in nearly 3 weeks - inexcusable!

tho, i will make some excuses for travel and changes at work. doing a bit of globe trotting the next couple of weeks (see below), so apologies in advance for keeping the bizarroness a bit quiet.

phew!

by my calculations, i'll be tacking on another 11,000 air miles over the next two weeks. JFK-LHR-ORK-DUB-LHR-JFK-SFO-JFK.

thankfully, i love a good, long plane ride. aaaah...my "me time."

happy halloween

separated at birth?

when did thom yorke turn into tom petty?

happy halloween

not as topical anymore, but pretty awesome costume nevertheless.

interesting

box of wine + purse = wine purse...is there really a market for this?

question

are we sure that's juanes (who ever that is) and not corey feldman?

what a hoot

what a calendar!

yikes!

this has to be the creepiest portrait of MJ...interesting, house of blues.

funny

it is a universal truth that work toilets are horrid. this, at least, adds a little levity.

why i feel old, part 39

jonathan lipnicki - of jerry maguire fame - just turned 21. how did that happen?

also, maybe next year they will spell his name correctly...

sigh

dear target,

cool your boots! let's get through halloween first, mm'kay?

thanks.

ewwww

this is my least favorite outdoor campaign right now. please don't take a sheet in the pool. that's just gross.

who approved this? (film edition)

this has to be one of the strangest promotional pictures. why is big ben coming out of meryl streep's face and who approved this?

sad!

separated at birth?

is it just me, or did penelope spheeris who directed wayne's world, turn into garth from wayne's world?

just in case...

you need ideas, feel free to visit the idea store.

who knew?

spotted by my mom at the grocery store...who knew that lemons were good for orange juice?

overheard on the bus

"goldie hawn...? is she asian?"

um, no.

fact

who knew?

that katie & lil wayne were so close?

festive?

i think the WWE could've stepped up the festiveness for their smackdown holiday tour, no? maybe some red speedos & santa hats?

gracias

thank you to the great state of south dakota for my $15 deposit back.

question

what makes one take off their sneakers in the middle of first avenue in the rain? just curious.

my new obsession

i totally forgot about how much i liked foo fighters and kinda forgot about them in recent years. i've been watching their documentary, "back & forth," obsessively - makes for interesting viewing and a reminder of some sweet jams.

cheers

now, how can we get one of these installed in our new office?

oh, axl

can you believe this is axl rose? to quote whatevs, age is not kind.

who approved this? (beheading edition)

now, i understand that if you have a restaurant you want the decor to be befitting of the cuisine/theme. but a guillotine?? how is that possibly inviting? qui a approuvé cette?

we jammin'

this made me laugh out loud. (via happyplace)

curb your dog

took a walk at lunch time the other day and came across these gems. if you look closely, you'll see the rules: no dog sh*t.

stay classy, new york!
