Oh Don piano
I just rediscovered this amazing video. Becky, I think you were the first to show it to me.
Even Diddy can’t believe Joaquin Phoenix’s new look

Via Dlisted, and I quote- “No, Diddy, he hasn’t been moisturizing the sexy. Joaquin hasn’t even been bathing the sexy. Obviously.”
Border Patrol Fail
I assume watching this with sound only makes it more hilarious.
Nora, this is for you!
It’s It’s a chaise lounge … I mean a pug in an Eames chair.
Thanks http://formyinformation.wordpress.com/ for this.
Translation plz
This was in my ‘recommended for you’ section on YouTube. Check and mate.
why i need to live in iceland: the christmas cat
holy shit- best folktale EVER. it’s name is Jólakötturinn and it’s a murderous, fashion policing feline.
Jólakötturinn is a lovable, wholly unholy beast, a sort of proto-fashion police whose impeccable sense of style, in your face attitude and lack of respect for human life terrified Icelanders into stylistic submission in ways that today’s anorexia-inducing Vogues and Cosmopolitans can only dream of. The ginormous cat’s sole purpose in life is to eat children (and adults, some say) that do not get a new piece of clothing before Christmas. Yes, it devours financially disadvantaged children.This is the kind of message Icelanders like to send out in their folklore: if you do not have the money or means of acquiring new items of clothing before the festival of lights, you will be eaten by a gigantic cat. This is one of the reasons that Icelanders clock in more hours of overtime at their jobs than most European nations: to avoid the cat, we stayed up sewing or knitting in the olden days, and we stayed up graphic designing or stock-brokering in early 2008.

thanks steve!
I’m going to make you dinner
Ha, no I’m not. But I wish I could make you this:
Oh Sasha Fierce..

Did you mean for the song Ego to sound so dirty? Cause guess what.. if you replace “ego” with “penis” this song is hilarious. Lyrics below
Hey baby how you doing?
You know Im gonna cut right to the chase
Some women were made
But me, myself
I like to think I was created
For a special purpose
You know, whats more special than you, you feel me?
Its on, baby lets get lost
You dont need to call into work, cuz youre the boss
For real want you to show me how you feel
I consider myself lucky thats a big deal
(Why?)
well, you got the key to my heart
But you aint gonna need it
Id rather you open up my body
And show me secrets
You didnt know was inside,
No need for me to lie
Its too big
Its too wide
Its too strong
It wont fit
Its too much
Its too tough
He talks like this
Cuz he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego
I love his big ego
Its too much
He walks like this
Cuz he can back it up
ps- the “I am” part of this CD blows. Why did Beyonce decide to remake Ave Maria??? Beats me.. Sasha Fierce is my hero.
Really out of date but interesting article about Vermont
My sister sent this to me back in February and I just read it now. But it was really interesting and accurate. Note the part about Buddhist converts.

a great japanese game show
as far as i can tell, this show is called “torturing your pets with food,” and i love it.

Another BOD for Today
My friend just started a blog. You should read and enjoy it.
Britney Spears Christmas Carol
I admit I haven’t watched it yet.. but in the spirit of Britney and Christmas, here ya go.
Cute things falling asleep!
My sis sent this to me. She really liked the sleepy bear and how its nose got all scrunched up. I feel like I can really identify with these animals because I’ve done this in class, meetings and on the bus so many times before.
New Lily Allen
Nora wants me to post this now. HOoray.
Callie 1990-2008

So, I didn’t post about this earlier cause it was just too sad.. but my first pet ever, Callie, passed away a few weeks ago. I got her when I was 6.. so at 18 years old, she had lived a really long life. In the pic above, she is showing off her formal wear at holiday time (my family likes do take a lot of photos with strange hats at Christmas..)
Well, Jim wrote this really great column about Callie (and his friend and co-worker Dick Doughtery who recently passed away). Read it, it’s funny.
Robot soldiers??
I didn’t really read this. I admit it. But robots as soldiers?? Did this guy see the Simpsons episode where the robotos at Itchy and Scratchy Land go crazy?
Me and my roommates

My roommate Liz made this. She says it’s really addicting.
Please help Charlie
Well, he doesn’t actually need help, JUST MORE PEOPLE TO LOVE HIM AND DAMN DO I LOVE HIM
This is from Videogum
Aretha on your door
I heart B+E. It’s Britney, bitch. Warning: this is surprisingly charming.
desk and bag
I am lazy and don’t feel like explaining this with words. Behold, a picture of something awesome:

Best of ’08 with HIMYM



amaaaazing. Nora and Dustin both sent this to me within a half hour of each other this morning.. full photo shoot is here, at EW.
I LOVE that Jason Segal and NPH shaved their armpits for the Olympian shoot.
Oh DC crime…
When will you ever stop? Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty was confronted face-to-face Thursday with some of the district’s crime problems, when it turned out the host of the morning talk show he appeared on had been mugged in the city an hour earlier.
Thanks Justin for showing me this sotry.
RIP Sparks
Say it’s not so.. Sparks is no more. I guess we should also say RIP Drunk Nora Doing Marching Band Dance, and RIP Sparks Challenge Becko. Should we re-create Sparks challenge one last time? (6 Sparks in an hour) Guess not..
The Illinois attorney general says ““These drinks are extremely dangerous in the hands of young people. They contain substantially more caffeine than coffee or soda and are marketed as a way to ‘power’ your nights by staying awake and drinking more alcohol. This is a completely inappropriate message to send to younger audiences.”
I KNOW! BOOOOO. via Gawker.
BEST RECIPE EVER




WOVEN BACON CHEESE TUBE?! If I ever throw a dinner party, this will be the first (maybe only) course. via Holy Taco, via foodproof.

I can’t wait to see what kind of dog the Obama’s pick.
Wussy Weatherman
I watched this with no sound but I can only assume that this man shrieks like a a girl.
More zoo babies
My sassy sister sent this to me. It’s actually kind of gross looking. Too bad about the baby being rejected by it’s mom. (Maybe his mom is just autistic).
787 cliparts = awesome
though i wish there was music…
Am I the only one who watched the Real Housewives of ATL?
Thanks Justin for showing me this.

NeNe on drag queens: “For real, they really are violent. I am sorry, they will bust you in the head child, BAM!”
On her own action figure: i need to get a nene doll but i’m gonna have my doll to talk. My doll will say “ass POP’in” and it’ll go like that, and “lips bustin’!” and it’ll go like that and then “BAM!”
Oh my good lord that is cute
But it won’t let me embed a photo. Just go look.

Is this possibly real?
But if it’s fake, I don’t really care. Vic gets the credit for this find.. and since it’s her finals week it makes it ok that she was sending out Youtube dance videos at 3am.
