Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!

Can a pink bear sell you a car?

Revolt of the state quarter
I personally like it, Michigan's outline is the coolest.

There's an official Petty-Booka.com site as well as some videos over at the PettyBooka site now. They are too cute.

I can't beleive I even remember this guy: Yahoo Serious

The aliens have landed.

This must be what the UFOs were doing in town.

If you were in Chicago last night you might have seen the UFO too.

These Cat butt magnets are the greatest gift you can give this year.

Iraqi Submarine Prowling Lake Michigan & Why I ♥ America.

I couldn't find much on Emo Kid Yoga, the lazy cousin of PuNk RoCk AeRoBiCs but I did find Squash Yoga!

Wouldn't it be great if the Iron Chef had an episode that was Nigella V. Emeril? I would love that. Who would Takeshi Kaga make out with after the show?

You'd think that Peta would have something a lot better to do with its time & resources than this.

The twins. Found by legnog. heh

I thought I was done decorating my apartment, now I'm not so sure.

For some reason, I love to say is "little-mini" as an adjective, here's a little-mini sushi kit, a little-mini fondue set, and here's something that is actually little AND mini: the little-mini bonsai kit. Also, the little-mini Buddha could be a little-mini Christmas gift for all your little-mini Buddhist buddies.

Clyde is very cute, so cute that he doesn't look real.
My cats would eat him up.

Out of control crafting with thistles. Or are they pine cones? Look for the nativity set.

Rebecca found this gem.... PuNk RoCk AeRoBiCs something seems really wrong about that one. Like Jumbo Shrimp & Totally Free for $2.95 in shipping.

I wish it weren't getting cold. I can't wait for spring already, well, minus the WOO! girls.

Haiku Movie Reviews Here's a sample:

RUN LOLA RUN
This is not a film.
It is a video game
without a joystick.

Cher Scholar

This is not a fan site...just a great experiment to prove to my family and friends that something creative and productive indeed can come from a life of self-imposed Cher Scholarship.

PSSST!!! Don't order the pear juice!

HEY HEY HEY! Now on Vinyl: Wilco / Yankee Hotel Foxtrot 180 Gram Double LP Set I wonder what is up with it being a double album?

Here's a good Turkey Wallpaper for you. I'm using it now. The perfect amount of strange to use on your nerdbox at work.

Oh my freakin' god, what is up with that? And why isn't it featured on howfreshisthisguy.com? If you are easily sickened, do not look at this scary closeup photo of MJ.

These are the greatest haikus:
Ape Culture's Haikus dedicated to Skymall Products

Bea's Alternative Holiday Gift Ideas

Here's something fun from Leann: Madcap Creations lots of fun stuffed kritters.

Mr. T Goes For A Drive
Sorry about putting such a stupid link up today, I'm low on material.

I'm going to save up so I can give this christmas gift to booka.

727-200 Airplane home or bar for sale on ebay

Hooray! Our special giftmaking projects for Christmas should be starting as soon as we get a Pysanky Kit delivered to our house. The craft is an Easter tradition, but we probably won't be making traditional designs, either. Here's How to Make Pysanky Ukrainian Eggs. This should be exciting, it's a resist process where wax holds the color of the layer beneath it (somewhat like a batik process for fabrics). I hope they turn out well, we might even get some big goose eggs for the project, fun!

I'm getting used to life with bangs, as promised, I took a photo. Yeah, it's a stupid shot, but I took it myself of me, and that's my favorite way of taking self portrait pictures. Peeps at work knew I did something different, most of them thought I took off my glasses, which is true, I had started wearing my contacts after a few months at the end of August. A nothing reaction is better than a bad one. This is the part of my life where I sneak into the shadows and forget about being an art star, workin' 9-5 to pay off the art star bills.

Weekend photos of Oslo.

Howlaween Pet Costume Contest Best Drag-ula & the Lobster are my faves

You knew this was out there somewhere: Gnome Home THE place to find Garden Gnomes

The other day, I was thinking of how cool my mom was to take me to her yoga classes at the Y when I was very young. I remember watching and doing Lilias Yoga & You! on TV with mom. My brother & I would try to put our legs behing our head and other feats to out-do eachother. I wonder how my mom thought this might be relaxing.

Best $7.00 cat investment, the Play Cavern Scratcher. Endorsed here by Miss Pussy Galore.

How cruel is it that the Humane Society named a dog (that had been shot twice in the back & paralized) Bullet?
I want this doggie for Christmas. Boy that would be so cool. Too bad we live in an apartment. I want a dog on wheels.

Another VASTLY overpriced fashion accessory: Crochet Hat with Flower Excuse me? 70 dollars? No thanks, I'll call grandma or figure it out on my own.

Alice Neel is one of my favorite artists of all time. Unfortunately, aliceneel.com 's gallery is not so great, it doesn't feature a lot of works and the pieces that are there are out of focus for the most part. Here's a short bio with two great paintings. Everyone featured in her paintings get outlined like a cartoon character, usually in pthalo blue. That's what I like.

Tattoo Your Towels!
Yes, you can do cool things for people for Christmas/Hanukah/Festivus for very little money. (This will definitely be the case for Adam & I this year, unless he can find a new job and climb the ladder to CEO in less than two months. It could happen.) Anyhow, check out Jenny Hart's article at GetCrafty! I have some of her patterns and they are fun cheap and easy to do!

DELAWARE MUSIC has a dictionaraokeesque version of twist & shout. Others too, a big list of mp3's.

COMPUTER IS BAD

merry gloomy plant: illustrations- not in english.

Another gross food, from eclectica!

Check out this person running for congress here in Illinois: Stephanie Sailor vs. The Machine How cool is that? She's got cahones. She won't even take contributions.

Did you ever hear about the5k contest? Awesome.

The BIZ animated video (.mov file- big file!)

But it don't matter now
like Purina Cat Chow
The first beat I did was
MEOW MEOW MEOW!

This turntable is making sure I have a good morning.
Look for the super rappers with the BIZ!!!! and 9 to 5 remixed! Fun.

I'll kill two birds with one stone if I get these for my dad for Christmas.
For Adam? Maybe one of these, why? I think he likes a little irony with his lighters.

I just have to share: this morning my mom called me. I asked her what she did this weekend. She said she went with my dad to go see, yes, they really did go see Jackass the movie. That show is made for my brother and she said he didn't go with them. She said they were the oldest people in the theater (they're both in their 50's) and she started telling me about how the guys in the movie are stupid jerks, but then she talked more and more about it and was laughing the whole time. Which says to me, she secretly loved it! I couldn't believe it. That was one conversation I wish I had on tape to broadcast online.
Best word she said in the conversation? "Nutcup"

Kaiju Big Battel!!! Go and say hi to Dr. Cube, Los Plantanos & Hell Monkey for me.
