(Link) What Would Uncle Jesse Do? (One of the top ten reasons to love the internet.)
(Link) What Would Uncle Jesse Do? (One of the top ten reasons to love the internet.)
(Link) If you watch Grey's Anatomy or Old Navy commercials, you're familiar with the songs of Ingrid Michaelson. She performed live at a Borders store, and the videos are just charming.
(Link) Everyone hates a few tiny little things in life, but most people aren't this funny when they talk about those things. 'Tis a shame, really.
(Link) I'm pretty sure this isn't for sale anywhere, but it really should be. Looks like I'll need to find myself a carpenter. Preferably a cute one. (Found via BoingBoing.)
(Link) I want to buy almost every skirt on this site. I also want to know how to get a teeny-tiny waist like those models have.
(Link) Sign up to have literature emailed to you in small chunks at any time of the day. I currently have Crime and Punishment being sent at 9am and Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz being sent at 5pm. They're my rewards for going to work every day.
(Link) Schmutzie had the brilliant idea to ask everyone to make a list in the comments to this entry. Each person started out with "I am awesome because . . ." and then went on to fill in the blanks. I love seeing so many people gathering together for this little self-esteem boost project. Genius!
(Link) "Griddlers" are super addictive number puzzles that I discovered last night after accidentally clicking on a Google Ad. It took me a while to get used to the concept of Griddlers (and even Triddlers!), but I'm now hooked. It's like color-by-number meets logic.
(Link) The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form. What else is there to say? Pure genius.
(Link) I have the pink version of the Motorola L2 (the lame-o version of the SLVR), and I totally want to create a case like this for my phone. It's just... nerdtastic, I guess.
(Link) "When sharing music becomes foreplay, you know you have something beautiful." (So many of these stories hit eerily close to home. Like PostSecret but without the postcards.)
(Link) This entry by Finslippy about her son's lost bear had me crying into my bowl of popcorn. A lovely and heart-wrenching tale that is absolutely worth the cost of soggy snacks.
(Link) Unbelievably adorable video of an ordinary man with extraordinary talent who performs on Britain's Got Talent. "If you don't find this uplifting, your heart is the arctic." Too true, Schmutzie.
(Link) "How do geeks know when it's a holiday? When the Google logo changes." (I completely forgot it was Independence Day until I hopped on Twitter and read that.)
(Link) Though I love daily planners and PDAs, I don't carry one on me because they won't fit in my tiny purse without getting damaged or stolen. PocketMod, however, is a little book that you make yourself out of a standard sheet of paper. Tiny, cheap, and quite possibly my new best friend.
(Link) This story boggles my mind. The stereotypical old man — the one who mutters something about "young whippersnappers" while herding the neighborhood children off of his perfectly groomed yard — actually exists. And this one had a gun.
The lovely 2016 Olympics logo that has graced the city streets of Chicago for months now is being rejected! I will now commence some serious pouting.
The poor cat seems to be unsure of what to do with this little TMNT in training. (Note: this is exactly how my cats respond to pill bugs.)
Dairy Queen changes their logo, causing mass hysteria. And much sobbing on my part. (At least I don't have to put up with the Texas version of DQ anymore.)
"When you check out Google Maps and ask for directions between San Francisco and Amsterdam, Line 29 is key."
If that mullet isn't enough to satisfy your craving for the week, check out the Mullet Hunters of Flickr. On a related note, this Cyanide & Happiness comic kinda sums up my feelings toward the whole "business in the front, party in the back" attitude.
A touching and beautiful piece on the various stages of falling in love, written by my very talented friend, Tyler. I'm still sighing sadly and dreamily about the story an hour after reading it.
For people who like to keep an eye on numerous blogs at once, this is a pretty handy site. I've added all my favorite blogs, allowing me to close almost half the tabs I would normally have open in Opera. We all know that closing tabs helps the environment.
This font does not belong on memos from executives, on classy advertisements, or really anywhere for that matter.
Write yourself an email to be sent in the future! (I plan on having mine delivered on my birthday, just in case my friends and family all hate me by then and don't send me any lovely emails.)
This site offers what I believe to be the best (and funniest) critique of celebrity fashion EVER.
I sincerely wish that I had stumbled across this article about ten years ago, back before I decided that being a guy's "buddy girl" was an acceptable substitute for being his girlfriend.
Perhaps these pens could inspire me to actually do my homework.
