I'm really considering these, the brown one with the orange flower. While whimsical in the extreme, they'd go with the greater part of my wardrobe (I've got a year-round autumn-tones thing going). @ $65, that's not too bad. I'm kind of considering these for a black pair, but I am not so sure about the […]

And anyone else who wants some safe-for-work and unusual websites to look at. First up is (just in time for April Fool's Day, I might add) The Museum of Hoaxes. This is a major repository of pranks, hoaxes, fake websites, manipulated photos and all sorts of trickery. A fine compliment to this site is the […]

Ah, another extremely silly video with the girls from Mini Moni. In this video, they are in a skit called “Pyon Seijin,” which, as best I can determine, translates as “boing aliens.” The Pyon Seijin are always trying to figure out ways to take over the world using obsolete Earth technology.

I was supposed to have a counselling session tonight, and I totally forgot about it. I feel like such an asshole, as I hate flaking on any sort of appointment or commitment. I feel like an asshole going to a counselor anyhow. I feel pretty bad for her having to listen to people's troubles all […]

Here's a video of a turbo-adorable gothic chic doing a lip synch routine to Shirley Bassey's rendition of “Big Spender” I swear she's so cute your head will explode. Whaddya bet this girl is into burlesque or gets that way pretty darn toute suite?

I did a spot of spring-cleaning today, and totally organized the mudroom and got a good start on sorting out my sewing/workroom. The mudroom looks better than it ever has. I threw out the gross, red felt carpet, moved the workbench in there from out of my sewing room, and re-arranged the shelf and recycle […]

Given the types of dreams I have had for the past week, a bizarre dream about making “sardine-and-chutney” sushi is a vast improvement. There was a slice of realism in this dream, I want you all to know. I dreamed that I was making the sushi for a party, and I told one of my […]
