christ, I love this section of Jezebel

This little gem posts Weight Watchers recipe cards from 1974. I think the Chilled Celery Log is my favorite or maybe the Inspiration Soup. Look how far we have come with our stupid diet foods. Now we have Skinny Bitch and veggieburgers - thank god!

The other blog that has been brought to my attention recently is one dedicated to passive agressive notes. It reminds me of the maxim I learned from Arrested Development (…and thats why you always leave a note). It also reminds me of the engrish blog because a lot of the signs just don’t make sense. People are crazy.

Shout out to Maddie for showing me these- woot.

This blog is called Museum of Kitschy Stitches. We should totally be reading this all the time.. It was up for a Webby. As if the pic above isn’t reason enough for you..

thanks GFY

Ch ch ch check it. Beautiful sketches and drawings that make me super jealous.

Fug Madness is over, and FYI.. I may not have guessed the final four, but I picked the winner.  And, yes, I did follow the bracket even though I happened to be the only one participating that I knew.  Whatever, I guess that means I win my own pool.  Score!  Thanks Bai Ling!

Via Gawker:

The Semicolon died this week at the age of 417 from complications of irrelevancy and misuse. Semicolon was born in England in 1591 to Ben Jonson, the first notable writer from to use them “systematically.” The mark of punctuation dedicated its career to connecting independent clauses and indicating a closer relationship between the clauses than a period does. But mostly it just confused the shit out of English students everywhere.

Well, the semi isn’t technically dead yet but there’s a healthy debate going on speculating that its days are numbered. And as any B-list celebrity can attest, when people start asking whether your career is dead, it already is. So that’s the angle we’re going with.

The Guardian offers a rather startlingly in-depth analysis of the viability of the semicolon, including “for” and “against” arguments from notable writers. It should come as no surprise that Jonathan Franzen takes an unabashedly pro-semicolon stance.

“I love a good semicolon, but this sounds like one of those Literature is Dead! Stories that The New York Times likes to run,” he says. “I’ve never heard from a reader confused by one of my semicolons, and I don’t remember ever throwing a book aside for being semicolon-free.”

Kurt Vonnegut, meanwhile, takes the subtle approach and compares semicolons to cross-dressing she-males: “Do not use semicolons,” he has cautioned. “They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.”

Semicolon is survived by colon, parenthesis and em dash. In lieu of flowers, please send anecdotes of times you have been confused by a semicolon to Farrar, Straus and Giroux, care of Jonathan Franzen.

Spring is almost here. I am so excited to bike around brooklyn and wear skirts! I bought a pair of little heels for the sole purpose of wearing on my bike. Entirely stole my biking style from this blog.

This blog will make you want a bike real bad.

PhotoshopDisasters is exactly what it sounds like.

Mostly ad and magazine f*** ups. The cheap movie posters and celebrity photoshop problems are my favorites.
