And anyone else who wants some safe-for-work and unusual websites to look at. First up is (just in time for April Fool's Day, I might add) The Museum of Hoaxes. This is a major repository of pranks, hoaxes, fake websites, manipulated photos and all sorts of trickery. A fine compliment to this site is the […]
"Boing-boing-aliens" play with a theremin
Posted in Imports from old blogs on Mar 27th, 2006
Ah, another extremely silly video with the girls from Mini Moni. In this video, they are in a skit called “Pyon Seijin,” which, as best I can determine, translates as “boing aliens.” The Pyon Seijin are always trying to figure out ways to take over the world using obsolete Earth technology. In this case, they […]
Your "own brand" Survey:
Posted in Imports from old blogs on Mar 23rd, 2006
What are the names of the “store brands” at the grocery where you shop? Do you buy the store brands often? Of which items do you have a preference for a nationally branded item over the store's own brand? The groceries in Kansas City stock two different off-brand brands. Always $ave and Best Choice. I […]
(written during a slow period at work)

I am situated in my new workspace—for the first time in my working life I have an actual cubicle, and I must say it is an improvement. I arranged the computer so that the monitor backs into a corner and I sit at an angle, with my right shoulder facing the doorway. This way I […]

I was supposed to have a counselling session tonight, and I totally forgot about it. I feel like such an asshole, as I hate flaking on any sort of appointment or commitment. I feel like an asshole going to a counselor anyhow. I feel pretty bad for her having to listen to people's troubles all […]
Just a super quick link:

Here's a video of a turbo-adorable gothic chic doing a lip synch routine to Shirley Bassey's rendition of “Big Spender” I swear she's so cute your head will explode. Whaddya bet this girl is into burlesque or gets that way pretty darn toute suite?
A sense of accomplishment followed by a sense of trepidation:

I did a spot of spring-cleaning today, and totally organized the mudroom and got a good start on sorting out my sewing/workroom. The mudroom looks better than it ever has. I threw out the gross, red felt carpet, moved the workbench in there from out of my sewing room, and re-arranged the shelf and recycle […]
My dreams have gone from depressing to merely disturbing
Posted in Imports from old blogs on Mar 18th, 2006
Given the types of dreams I have had for the past week, a bizarre dream about making “sardine-and-chutney” sushi is a vast improvement. There was a slice of realism in this dream, I want you all to know. I dreamed that I was making the sushi for a party, and I told one of my […]
Celebrate St. Patrick's Day by wearing YELLOW!
Posted in Imports from old blogs on Mar 17th, 2006
That's what I did it, at any rate. Okay, so I had green, too, but the yellow was the actual important part. This is one of the outfits I had in the fashion show last summer. The skirt I made a while back, as part of my “1yd of Pique Challenge.” The top I made […]
