Big Pink … Towels?
My husband, Mike, is a brilliant man. He really is. But sometimes, it amazes me to think how he can do complex math problems that make my head hurt just looking at them – yet he doesn’t have common sense.
You know, like thinking that putting 4 red shop towels, those towels you would use in [...]
I’m a Canon Gangsta…
I saw this today and I was very amused — Canon Boy Meets Nikon Girl. How can they possibly survive together?
PS – It is rap style. There are a few words in there that your 3 year old shouldn’t hear. Consider yourself warned.
If Film Crews Ran the World…
I helped my friend Jennifer out this past wedding and was the second photographer at her client’s wedding. It rained, rained, rained through the ceremony, which was – of course – outdoors. Fortunately, it was outdoors under a covered area, at a venue that is prepared for this sort of thing and has plastic walls [...]
Discover Many Talents You Never Knew You Had…
This may be one of the most accurate ads I’ve ever seen…
I Know…
Bwuahahaha! Oh, come on … you know you want to do it too. [via Tracy on Twitter]
Holiday Gift Giving…
I’m still wrapping up the end of holiday print orders. My days are filled with editing to the point that I almost can’t see straight. Not much energy left this week for exciting, comprehensive posts. But whenever I need a little amusement, I can always watch this. Works. Every time.
Oh, wait… maybe you can’t give [...]
That Big Scary Monster!
This cracks me up every time I see it. You just have to loooove that big scary evil monster. You know, the one that the vast majority of us now have in our homes. OOooooh… BAD.
(Ok, it may be a little bad some days. There probably is some truth to that. I’m undecided.)
One of My Favorites!

Oh my. This is just cracking me up. Baby’s First Internet – check it out! (Link via MishMish.)

What a Carp Pedicure…
This is just crazy. This salon in Virginia uses tiny carp to nibble the scaly skin off of your feet. I can’t decide if I should say “eewwww…” or if it is a fabulous idea.
Fifty Most Influential Female Bloggers…
I am finding all sorts of great sites on this list of 50 most Influential Female Bloggers – but I have to confess that I squealed out loud (and twittered my excitement) when I saw that the Yarn Harlot, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, is listed as number 15! FIFTEEN!!! That is so awesome!
I still remember commenting to [...]
THE Font…
Movie viewing will never be the same for me again. I might try the video store game someday though – that would be fun!
And because I’m a total snarky smartass, I used THE Font in my temporary logo over on Boudoir Mon Cheri, in case you want to check it out in action!
Oh Goodness…
The cat in the Pink Passion KITTY WIG looks just like my cat, Mona. I think I need to get her one of those wigs.
Bad cough today and no voice. Every time I laugh, I cough, but that site? Sooooo worth it!
Mobile Desktops…
What happens when 3 people bring complete desktop computers – giant monitors and all – into the local Starbucks? The reaction is quite hilarious! I love the Windows 95 machine. [Props to Laurie for posting the link on twitter.]
Speaking of hilarious things, after I wrapped up my client meeting at the Starbucks [...]
Soccer Mom Throws Down…
Everyone makes fun of me for my gang signs that I throw down, but obviously they are cool. Otherwise why would someone make a video about white chicks & gang signs?
Fo’ shizzle.

And my favorite – Thrillicious!:
No Need to Exercise!
Who needs exercise when you could sit in the Hawaii Chair! Just look at how buff and tone it will make you! Although seriously, could anyone actually get work done sitting in that thing?
Remember 1-31-07?
Remember last year when Boston was shut down because of the LED art that was put up as part of a Cartoon Network promotion?
It seems that this year there are people putting LED art up to celebrate it.
Something tells me that that might not be a wise idea…
So Very Wrong…
Wow. And you thought it was bad when *I* acted all gangsta cool. This makes me almost cry, it is so funny! Don’t you wish that YOU lived in Houston so you could have fine commercials like this one all the time?

Some Movies Don’t Need a Sequel…
We watched an episode of Cold Case tonight, and at the end I wanted to find out who played one of the characters. Poking around IMDB lead me to this …
Lost Boys 2: The Tribe
Wait … it gets better! Corey Feldman is in it!
Seriously? I mean, I liked the first Lost Boys [...]
