loving home

I saw this book cover over on Milk Tooth's Rain the other day and was instantly smitten. Yay for big words and straightforward (near childish) illustrations. Bonus, it may actually provide useful information INSIDE. I know... weird, a book that includes informative contents. This book also conveniently provides a fluid segue to my current favorite song.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros' Home. If you're not smiling after a listen then you are clearly a robot. Actually, make that a broken robot because this song even manages to break through the metal skin of my most androidy days.

1 minute photoshop: exit

I know, I know... so sappy. I'll stop now.

the people that made me make things better

I would be screwed without those two people on the left. Thanks Mom and Dad; love you!

i'm alive

... and that's the good news! The bad news... well let's not get bogged down with any details. I'll just say I'm still working on redirecting my course. I have missed my blog and have officially reached my threshold for number of times I can watch Xanadu without throwing up glitter, so here I am mid life mending.

And if ELO ain't your thing (which for shame, if not!) here's another equally appropriate anthem for you to listen to. I'm so glad I'm not a clock (I might be able to work with being an ice cream cone though).

happy halloween!

Have fun and be safe! Don't take any candy from Kiss members.

breather

I have a list of things I would like to post here but can't seem to find the motivation as I am currently living in slumpville. This is where many pity parties take place at a table for one. So I'm going to take a bit of a breather from the blog and see what I can do about mending some broke(n) things. Be back soon-ish. Please stay tuned.

we shall become one

I can't tell you how much I want this book. The Onion is great. Lists are CLEARLY great. Categorizing things makes me tingle. Pop Culture, yes please. John Hodgman is aces. AND "24 Stupid Inventions For Lazy Americans".

Naturally I feel like was made for me. I know this is premature, but I'm going to go ahead and make a not-too-subtle Christmas list wish. This is me willing it to be so. Available here.
