Female Urinals: what gives?
In my unnamed office building, 30 out of the 120 bathrooms contain something called “female urinals.” They look like this. I have no idea how to use them. Luckily a high-level governmental official has been made aware of the problem.
a puggle named apple
kinda catchy and very adorable.
Grey Gardens the movie … Cannot Wait!
Drew does a pretty good “Mother darling.”
My new favorite YouTube video
found on ed droste’s twitter. he also posted a cute video of a kid dancing to the song “two weeks”:
this is ridiculous
seriously padma? this is paris hilton territory…
also, she keeps eating the hamburger but it never gets smaller. hmmmm.
The coolest My Little Ponies you will ever see
Speaking of My Little Ponies…
I think my sister Margaret showed me Mari Kasurinen‘s Star Wars-themed My Little Ponies a few months ago, and I really should have posted about them back then. In case it’s not immediately obvious to you, these are the greatest things in the universe. Not just because they’re really cool conceptually, but because they’re spot on. Take, for example, My Little Edward Scissorhands:
That pony has the exact same emotion as Johnny Depp does. Yeah yeah, I know. It’s a My Little Pony that’s dressed up like Edward Scissorhands. Ha ha. But it’s crazy awesome.
Also, the Joker. I know it’s a My Little Pony, but it’s just about as creepy as Heath Ledger was.
Not all of them are dark and creepy. Some are really super funny and sweet:
Heman (Dan’s favorite)
Anyway, these are fantastic. Check out others (Boba Fett, Han Solo, Cewie, The Bride from Kill Bill, Alien, Predator, etc) on Mari’s website.
I want to be burried in the middle of this circle
It looks so peaceful.
This reminds me of when I was a little girl and I used to arrange all my My Little Ponies in a circle around me. And if I was feeling particularly amitious, I’d use my troll dolls, too.
Anyway, this artist (Brooke Inman) uses colored pencils, photographs, markers and other shit to do this. I can just imagine Emily watching me do something like this and saying “You’re stressing me out!”
Your vote required – which bathing suit is more likely to appear in your nightmares?
So my sister and I had a race tonight to find the world’s ugliest bathing suit. Here are the three that I think are the absolute worst. Please vote on which one you believe to be most unflattering.
Option A
From Victoria’s Secret for $164 (I shit you not)
Option B
Also from Vicky’s, but amazinly on sale for $34 (they’re practically giving them away…gee, I guess NOBODY WANTED TO BUY IT)
Option C
From Delias for $29.50
sappy sap sap sap
i love this commercial. i think it’s super cute. does this make me lame?
Christ this looks good
Maurice Sendak + Arcade Fire + Karen O + Spike Jones
Pharrell will sing and dance for his McDonalds
I love Pharell. Especially when he’s trying to get McD’s to open early! Hilarious.
New Improv Everywhere makes me happy
Emily: I love watching New Yorkers’ cold hearts melt.
Kitty cat
Ok, I haven’t watched this with sound or all the way through, but Ryan suggested I post it and he is generally reliable when it comes to crap.
google chrome experiments
i don’t entirely understand what google chrome is. im sure someone will explain or i could ask wikipedia and find on in a sec but im jetlagged and exhausted from my trip to iceland (ill post more about this later). SO… google chrome has put up these cool experiments. i suggest the…
and ball pool
mostly because these were all featured today but I tried them all and they were fun. browser talk requires a microphone though and ball pool almost made my computer explode (after a few tries it sounded like it was about to take off) but they are all super fun. browsermation looked fun too but i couldnt get it to work. check out all of the chrome experiments here.
ps. thanks steve for showing this to me and thanks to jr for making fun of me for not knowing what google chrome is
Blog of the Day: Make Something Cool Everyday
looking for some inspiration? this is an amazing blog with new images/art made everyday by this dude (Brock Davis?). below are some of my faves so far in 2knine. (there is a flickr pool too for make something everyday – here)
Teeth ice cube trays
gross! I do not want this teeth ice in my bedwater! That has the potential to haunt my dreams. Drew’s find from here.
New headboard for the recession
I have wanted a headboard for a WHILE but probably am not going to spend hundred of dollars on that at the moment. Nora, I’m suprised you haven’t posted this already:
TA DAA .. it’s made from electrical tape and i think it’s pretty. Via Apartment Therapy. More tape art is coming to the Bklyn museum too.
Sheep LED art
this via Nadia who is having a pretty inspired internet day.
nadia: internetz explosion
Did you know this guy is the voice of Elmo?
I didn’t. He’s cute! How adorable is that? I thought it was a lady! This Ricky Gervais vid has made the rounds but it’s pretty great if you haven’t watched it.
If I ever tell you I want to watch Gossip Girl…
shoot me in the face please. Because this show is terrible. Seriously. It’s a brain abortion.
chuga chuga chuga CHOO CHOO: All Aboard the Murakami Train!!!
So the fantastic (c) Murakami exhibit (which we saw at the Brooklyn Museum) is now in Spain, and I have to say, I loooove how they’re promoting the exhibit on the trains!!

Grain Edit’s interview with Frank Chimero
I’m a big fan of Frank Chimero. His state illustrations are fantastic (when’s New York, Frank? Or Vermont, or Indiana??), and I used to have this inspirational poster as my desktop at work for a while (the “Aw, Damnit” part got to me, eventually). Anyway, Grain Edit interviewed Frank recently, and it’s really fascinating. I’m not even a graphic designer or much of an artist (though I’m known to doodle geometric shapes on notebooks at work).
The whole interview is a great read, but my favorite part is when Frank describes how he comes up with the ideas for the states. Here’s an excerpt:
Here, I’m trying out a few ideas. Something long and curling? An alligator? A fish? A manatee? Nah. That manatee doesn’t look like one. It’s too skinny. Not cowish enough. Doesn’t work well with the shape. The alligator is nice, but too predictable? His legs don’t integrate in very nicely into the shape. A train? Oh. Wow. That’s nice. Maybe we can use the smoke to trail off to the left to fill that difficult space. Ok. Bingo!
So cool. Anyway, Frank also mentions this great video he did for Good Magazine. I hadn’t seen it before and I suggest you watch it both for his great drawings and for the info.
Apparently, rugs are back in as wall hangings
Which, I kind of disagree with. But this shit is fun. I’d say it’s even a little much for me though.
From Apartment Therapy.
Oh man, Barbie + JONATHAN ADLER = MY dream house
So Jonathan Adler designed a real Barbie Dream House in honor of her 50th birthday. And. It’s. Awesome. Photos below from LAist.
LOVE those chairs. More amazing photos here
More toilets I want
Wish you could flush potatoes using less water? Well, you’re in luck.
Athlete Life Fail
This article was really interesting and sad. Reason number 385983 to to use condoms: you don’t want to be paying child support on nine different kids. I’ve been posting a lot about the need to use protection lately, huh?
I love this bridge so much!
Thanks to Steph B. for this one.
Remember when Pee Wee said he loves fruit salad and then Ms. Yvonne goes, “Why don’t you marry it?” and fucking Pee literally did it!? Apparently this is not a very unique event and the name for people who do this is objectum-sexuals. One lady even married the Eiffel Tower.
hahaha ewww hahaha ewwww hahaha ewww
thanks nadia for grossing me out and making me laugh at the same time
ps. it’s better with sound

Best Band Name Ever
radio3.cbc.ca/bands/S-For-Steph (you will have to cut and paste and then hit play all otherwise i think it just streams live)
Not bad music either.
New TV crush alert
I love Luke from this season of The Amazing Race. He’s adorable and is so sweet to his mom. I am watching tonight’s episode twice on DVR, to be honest.
Very Weird Phil Collins News
Anne Marie sent me this. I’ll admit it, I don’t even really know what the Alamo is.
Weird. I don’t get it. Why?
I think the couch dress has already been posted. But why would people pay actual money for this.
When you’re just having one of those days
Post something here: http://www.fmylife.com/. I might have to write them about my commute to work on Monday when it was really snowy.
Poochie is running
Judging from the number of views this video has, apparently I’m late to this. But it’s still awesome.
Thanks Isabel.
I want this Toilet
We’ve all had awkward moments in an “away bathroom” situation (as Liz Lemon would say), but that’s why everyone should have a toilet with the capacity to flush 3.5 LBS OF DOGFOOD. Gracefully.
I promise it’s worth the headache of clicking this link and letting it load:
