Curtsy/kick 12-08-08

A crumbly curtsy to three-day old Mint Creme Newman-O's and their unnaturally soft yumminess. Organic means fat-free, right? Right?

A self-loathing kick in my own general direction for overwhelming achievements in procrastination. Damn you, hidden object games!

Eeeep!

Why do I love small furry things? Couldn't tell you, but these are almost as cute as any number of real-life pets I am too forgetful to own. See here!

OMYGODLOOKBEHINDYOU!

Oh, that's just Thing. Hi, Thing!

Curtsy/kick 12-01-09

A cheerful curtsy to "Pushing Daisies" for its continued TV excellence. Earnest, rapid-fire dialogue is sweetened by the delicious presence of Kristin Chenoweth (Oliver Snook) and the ever-tasty Lee Pace (Ned).


An annoyed shin-kick directed at anyone who talks on their cell phone in the library during Dead Week. Why, thank you, sir, for sharing with me your inane discussions of beer pong techniques. Boyfriend troubles, madam? Thank you so much for including me!

Designing woman

Here's your chance to live out your secret (or in my case, not so secret) fantasy of becoming an interior designer... the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust has an online Shockwave-based program that allows you to choose and design a home for one or more "clients." Think of it as the grown-up alternative to playing with a dollhouse... or something cooler than that.

Oy, with the poodles already.

Dear Grey's writers,
Please, please stop. This isn't Ghost Whisperer: Seattle Grace, right? Having sex with dead people (real or imaginary) just ain't right. Creator Shonda Rhimes has stated that Izzie doesn't have a brain tumor, so what the heck?? If this is leading up to the light at the end of the tunnel for Izzie, I'm fine with that; in fact, get on with it already. The once-spunky, sassy, perky Dr. Isobel Stevens has given way to a sad, lost, falls-in-love-with-her-married-best-friend, saves-a-deer-in-the-parking-lot, has-sex-with-Alex-before-insisting-on-an-HIV-test, sap. In fact, the show as a whole has become the proverbial car accident that you just can't stop looking at... but gosh, I sure wish I could.

Hillary and Sarah

A tribute to our memorable Election '08. If not for Tina Fey, Sarah Palin would have been intolerable. Cheers, Lemon!

Fanciful jewelry

As anyone who knows me could tell you, I'm not a jewelry person. I occasionally don a pair of pearl earrings and wonder at my boldness. However, I am considering the purchase of a boxful of handmade jewelry from Etsy designer birdzNbeez, simply to gaze at whilst procrastinating. (Note the real watch parts!)

Homework on the weekend

Turkey day?

Thank you, PETA, for turning me off of food. And flash games. Mmmmm bloody tendons.
