i didn't know you were a mets fan.

michael jackson or...


or, 3,00 year old egyptian bust?

where you at?

i'm intrigued by this ode to fast food locales. warning it will get stuck in your head. there's also a sweet remix.



(thanks, JR)

i like the idea of one "ridiculously huge coupon."

i'm picturing one of those giant publisher's clearing house or price of right checks.

really?


really new york? 2017? thanks.

fitting...


for the meatpacking district. just don't call it MePa. please.

this little gnome...


is home and finally back in new york for a change! had a great trip across the pond. enjoy some bizarroness from foreign shores below.

you disgust me


wonder if this name calling campaign on the dublin trash cans is working?

my first mobile


oh yes, this is a real cell phone. for 6 year olds.

save the bees!


while i was in london, i caught a provocative documentary on the bbc about the plight of the honeybee. did you know that our bees are disappearing? and suffering from a global epidemic called CCD - colony collapse disorder? and that a related book is the #19 best selling non-fiction book at heathrow airport?


and i was worried about swine flu


i think this was the most bizarro pic i snapped on the trip. and it was at the boots pharmacy at heathrow airport.

travel advice? perfect.
medicines check & prescriptions? how convenient.
chlamydia screening????

this little gnome...


is off to dublin to see U2 and then onto london to see her peeps, so i probably won't be posting for a while. 

maybe i can convince the other fish and the flame to start posting again...?




bizarre love triangle


who knew there was so much drama at the zoo? harry has left pepper for a female widow named linda. linda has now been branded a "homewrecker." you can't make this up, kids! 

where the wild things are

i know i will likely be reprimanded by a certain librarian for having never read this book, but i think the trailer for the spike jones adaptation looks fantastic:


i also enjoyed the write-up on stuffwhitepeoplelike, here.  and yes, i do "feel a ticking timebomb whereby [i] must read the book in advance of the movie."
