Forerunner

I'm working on a redesign of this book from the early '80s called Forerunner, and oh my does it have the most fanfrickintastic psychedelic, slightly creepy illustrations.

Time needs wasting?

Awesome tumblrs (aka awesome at-work time-sucker-awayrs):

Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away

These have been putting a smile on my face all week long. Can Google feature Sesame Street every day of the year?

T-shirts that are awesome: seen on the street

I saw a girl wearing this on the street today and almost did a "BWAH!" right then and there.

T-shirts that are awesome: by special request

Attention Everyone!

Aaron Carter is going to be on Dancing with the Stars. I just don't know what other announcement could put that kind of smirk on my face on a Monday afternoon. Some of you who know me might know that one of my first forays into the Interwebs back in the day was a snarky (for a fourteen-year-old) webpage in which I made fun of Aaron Carter (and got hate mail for about!), so something about the potential awesome trainwreck quality of all of this earns a special place in my heart.

(Also: Melissa Joan Hart and Mya! This may be the first time I ever tune in to this show.)

Most unnecessary website ever . . .

Quote of the Day: Sister Act 2 edition

If you wanna be somebody
If you wanna somewhere
You better wake up and pay attention

Don't even try to play like this isn't a fantastic movie.

Hairdon'ts

Oh, Daily Beast. You sure are good for a lunch-break smirk now and then with awesome slideshows like this. If you want to know what Kate Gosselin and Adam Lambert have in common, you need to see this.

A Brief History of Kate Gosselin's Hair

Okay I really need to share this post from today's Cheat Sheet on The Daily Beast: Mormon Beefcake Calendar about how some Mormon dude was excommunicated for making a "Hot Firefighters"-esque calendar of "sexy, shirtless Mormon missionaries." The greatest part is that it's called (wait for it) "Men on a Mission."

oh no they didn't

My NYU proofreading class meets in a classroom in this enormous high school building whose walls are covered with these amazingly kitschy, neon-colored, wacky-font motivational posters like "LISTEN and SILENT Are Spelled with the Same Letters." My favorite thing, however, are these fantastically tacky oval-shape posters, one of George Washington and one of Barack Obama. I tried my very hardest to track down a this Obama portrait online but no variation of "Obama children's presidential classroom poster" would work! My googling exploits did yield these fantastic finds, though:




Yeah. They went there. The whole Obama-theme-product marketing machine freaks me out in a way just because it seems so unprecedented (I don't think there was ever any demand for Barbara and Jenna Bush paper dolls, but did they have this kind of stuff in the 60s for the Kennedys?) and a little overboard . . . but it didn't stop me from buying Rachel some wicked hot Ojamas for her birthday, or taking note of the fact that the Michelle Obama issue of O Magazine hits the stands on Tuesday.

Please watch Jon Stewart basically blatantly dis the Kindle:

Sweeping the clouds away

This morning The Today Show, GMA, MSNBC, and CNN all either had commercials on at the same time or were talking about stupid things, so I flipped over to Sesame Street and saw this instead. I swear this will make you chuckle.

My dreams are triangular every night...
