she kills me

so refreshing. pass the gin, please.

thanks to VSL once again. The weird thing is that I posted this from youtube about 4 days ago and it just now showed up here. I assumed it (the posting) had gone awry, and then forgot about it.

another mystery of the innernest. a labyrinth wrapped in an enigma.

I'm posting this for Mr. Man, who was rudely awakened last week by the sudden discovery of a cat's paw inside his mouth.

I decide to read my VSL e-mail from Friday. This is so clever, and don't forget to turn on those speakers.

For most of us, shopping online is done solely out of necessity and practicality; we’re not logging on to Amazon to experience a cool website. But if we lived in the Netherlands, we’d actually enjoy going online and buying tape, rubber bands, and drinking glasses from the chain HEMA.

HEMA, a Dutch-based Woolworths-cum-Target with stores in Germany and Belgium, has created what appears to be an authentic home page on its website: Images load of current products for sale, and tabs appear to direct you to various pages on the site. Without giving too much away, we’ll just say that after the page loads, it soon deconstructs, Rube Goldberg–style. We have never seen such a mischievously subversive mass-merchandising gambit.

Sure, you may not buy anything from HEMA, but when you’re glued to the TV this Super Bowl Sunday, don’t forget: Pretty much everything is cleverer in Europe.

Here is the imploding website.
And here is the regular, functional website.

How to dance at a rave

I found this one at Bookhart's blog. Why the hell is this guy wearing an American Flag lapel pin?

Flight of the Conchords Ep 10 'Prince of Parties'

It's only too bad they cut this off before Bret is in the bathroom with the pulsating walls.

The line is "That's all very well. But what are we going to do about the Eye-talian?"

Also, Johnny looks so natural with a shiny blade in his hands. Or blades instead of hands.

day 4

Thanks for showing me this, Sinda. It is fun!

Day 3

1. I was just looking over the post titled "Take Two" when I noticed that one of the rabbits is named Pepper. That seems a little cruel, to name an animal after a spice one might sprinkle on the animal right before you cook it.

2. Sinda, in comments, referred to The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, specifically the drummer/daughter who's fashion sense reminds her of Junebug. Or the other way around-ish.

3. Has anyone else experienced any problems with Blogger lately? Perhaps the demands of BloMo are too much for it. Compounding my frustrations are the intermittent interruptions in our internet service.

4. And then there's this:

5. Thanks to my Mom, I'm shopping for a new stove. Yippee!

see, this is more like it!

I took the "Which Classic Movie Are You?" quiz, with all 45 questions just to finally prove I'm really a nice person.

What Classic Movie Are You?
personality tests by similarminds.com

Gah, just because I feel compelled to speak up if I disagree with something, regardless of the consequences, and don't really care all that much if everyone likes me, that means I'm either Hilter or Saddam? Why can't I be Rosa Parks or Thomas Payne instead?

WHAT. THE. HELL?

I went back to the Famous Leader quiz to see if I could improve my score, you know, to Einstein or Gandhi. Hey, I know I'm no Mother Theresa but I thought, maybe I could do a little better than fucking Hitler. So I opted for the full 45 question version, thinking that would provide a better-informed assessment, as the quiz-masters suggest. Guess what?

Megan suggested I find out which famous leader I am most like. She got Mother Theresa.

Okay, I'm a bit slow to discover, and thus report, this little bit of humor found on my gmail page. It is amazing (and admirable) how much time & money the folks at Google put into this April Fool's Joke. Very funny.

Googlism

Sinda reminded me about this. Because I'm so demure, I've edited out the pornographic bits. Apparently, Lisa is a popular name for porn characters.


lisa is set to go wild in zambia

lisa is king of the world

lisa is a loser

lisa is adyktively versatile

lisa is true

lisa is a 76 year old lady who lives alone in sheltered accommodation and prior to this hospital admission was able to care for herself

lisa is kept in the warden's office

lisa is similar to a dynamic link library*

lisa is bored and needs to kill time

lisa is hung in napoleon bonapart's bedroom in the tuileries

lisa is an outspoken adversary of the left and radical feminism and a proponent of modern conservative principles

lisa is not an unmixed blessing for a work of art

*This one is spot on.

What does your name bring up?

Drop everything and go over to Antonia's place right now, right this second, if you haven't already seen this.

What are you waiting for?? Go!

the daily link

Too bad Kris is on a mountaintop in New Mexico, probably without access to high-speed internet service, because look what I just found: more photos of Daniel Craig as James Bond.

For some reason I can't stop thinking about this today.
