in a delirious exhausted haze after work at my volunteer gig, I mistakenly copied 200 flyers referencing an “iPod nana”. pretty much the greatest accident of all time, after my brother*. I imagine that an iPod nana would give you cookies or remind you to floss.

*I’m just kidding, jamie…

from the UK’s Telegraph, “How men could use their testicles to fix their hearts“…

I, for one, do not find this surprising in the least.

this is all.

i am tickled pink* to notice a moving-projections trend in public art projects - you may remember a previous post about drive-by tigering? - these german ‘applied sciences’ students are projecting superneat colorful flash animations instead of wildlife:

*technically, I already have a pinkish complexion. I guess the video doesn’t really change my color at all. I apologize for fibbing.

today, over lunch, I have realized that there *must* be an entire sub-species of NYC rat that subsists entirely on unwanted, complimentary coleslaw. get rid of the coleslaw, get rid of the rats. I would bet my life on this. which is to say, a nickel. a very shiny nickel.

this is all I have to say.

Today being the first fall-ish weathery day so far this year, I thought I’d celebrate the end-of-hellish-summer and the return of the cardigan and scarf with some scarecrows…

//Japanese scarecrows “kakashi”//

(I am particular fond of the wobbly-eyed smiley-blobs, certain to terrorize crop-thieving birds.)

//From the Flickr Group, “Scarecrow Worldwide“//

(awww)

(this one probably got picked on in high school.)

It is with great glee that I share with you a music video by Sweet Soubrette, a ukulele-armed sea chantess with a nothing-if-not-entirely-charming fixation on doomed romance.

A loving tribute to Bel Biv Devoe:

Last february, I flew to michigan for a work seminar, during a blizzard. Cold and alone at the comfort inn, with less-than-adequate tv options, I got my jollies by leaving a hand-drawn wolverine atop the bible inside the bedside table:

My dear friend josh then created a flickr group “Upside-down Wolverines and Gideon Bibles“* and promptly posted his very own wolverines:

We had never advertised this flickr group, so we naturally assumed that we would be the only folks to join it… BUT!!! today, josh noticed 3 new submissions, from people I HAVE NEVER MET.

Clearly, this is The Next Major Trend In Hotel Maid-Service Confusion, and all of you should join the group, and post photos of your wolverine droppings.

*bonus-points given to those who leave *real* wolverines on hand-drawn bibles.

To the dearlings who kept checking this site while I was on vacation:

Truly I am earthen scum and undeserving of your visitorship. To make amends, feel free to hurl cream pies at my site, or, if you prefer, you could send dinosaurs to trample it:

yours,
