Sexy Typography

Click here to check out some of Seb Lester's typography. There are a couple that I would love to have! I'll just keep that on my wish list. Maybe someday...

Photos worth at least 150 words.

I'm sure we all have at least one awkward family photo hidden away somewhere, but hopefully they don't hold a candle to these masterpieces. Enjoy...

Plants are good. Plants are great. For them to grow I'll have to wait...

Yeah, that was a lame attempt at some plant prose, but since I haven't posted in a while, thought I'd just give you a sampling of some plant varieties I've grown fond of, for various reasons. The above image is one that I am anxious to get my mits on, but I haven't been able to find it around here. It's supposed to attract hummingbirds and smells like Juicy Fruit gum to boot! I will take pictures of my current plants and post soon, but for now here are some stock images:


Celosia - Blooms are so vibrant and colorful and last forever


Licorice Basil - Smells great and has some interesting blooms


Geraniums - Colorful, hearty and seem to be everblooming


Aloe Vera - Kind of a family plant. My Grandfather gave me some of his Aloe Vera plants years ago and taught me how to raise' em right. I still have those plants, and then some...


Spearmint/Peppermint - Smell delicious and the Peppermint has to be the most agressive herb I've seen. I've got tentacles growing over the sides of the pot just looking to root. Kind of cool actually, but they will have to stay in pots.


Lavender/French Lavender - Such wonderful smelling plants, and they have very interesting blooms on them

If the feeling takes you there, leave a comment or suggestion. I wonder how many comments I will get? So many.

MGMT - Check it!

If you're in the market for some new music, and why wouldn't you be, please please please check out MGMT! Erik and I stumbled onto them recently and we are hooked. Their album is called 'Oracular Spectacular'. They have sort of a Flaming Lips/The Shins flavor to them, if you are into that sort of thing. Delightfully refreshing!

Here's a video for their song 'Time to Pretend'. They also seem to be cat people. Just more to love...

Something new to fear.

Kind of cool, incredibly creepy. My Little Pony dolls transformed into movie characters. Seriously, it's like they are staring through your soul. Check out some others at the artist's website.

No Ordinary Hamster.

"I'm on a Boat" - The Lonely Island

Get your Santana Champ' and your flippie floppies...
Oysters.

Shakin' it, shakin' it, shakin' iiittttt......

If you're seeing their little paw-feet dance around, success. If they aren't moving, just enjoy the cute photo.

Gracias Jabella.

"I feel emotional but good..."

I think I've figured out how San Diegoans are so laid back. I thought maybe it was the cool vibe and beachy good times, but not so much. Some smarty pants in sunny San Diego thought it would be a good idea to open up a store, where anyone can go, and just break stuff. Damn that looks like fun, and it's for a good cause. They use the little glass bits left over from the breakage, for mosaic art which helps charities and art students. Same thing really. I know it must work, because of the reviews their customers have left behind. I want to feel emotional but good too! I wonder if I have any old plates lying around...

Your Moment of Zen

cho-cho.

The Blog of Jamie

If you're looking for a great blog, one to check out would be "Our Life In Holland". It's written by one of my best friends in the whole world, Jamie. She is a nurse, a super cool chick, a fantastic mom/wife and judging by her blog, a gifted writer as well. It really is a great read. If you get a chance, stop by and check it out, and leave her a comment while you're there. Comments rule.

Radiohead - "Just"

Radiohead is greatness. Just one of life's little truths. This is one of my favorite back-in-the-day songs/videos from them. I just wish I could read lips.

John Mayer - "Say"

According to Larry this song is up for some awards. Yay for JM. I love this song, and everything about this song. It's one of those songs that makes you stop and think about things. Hope you enjoy it too.

A few great songs/videos for your day...

Sometimes you need a certain song or two to get you through your day. These have been playing on a loop in my head for the past couple of days, so I thought I'd share. Hope they make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Can you say 2 gifts in 1?

Chanel. Louis Vuitton. Beef jerky. Someone's finally brought them together, and it's about time. Jerky rules.

Totally nuts. Possibly useful.

This is completely wheels off. Seriously, really?
Could be the perfect gift though, I'll have to check some reviews...

Crazy? Psssshhhhh...

I am loving me some Pan-Tree. This woman is an innovator.

We 3 Cats of dancing we are...

The logo says it all, or not enough...

Wow, Taiwan is one crazy place. I'm guessing it's the diapers they are selling out of their vending machines, not the actual turds, or babies. Cute logo though. Love the grill.

Still getting to know my iPhone, hugging it out.

Well this little gadget really is pretty neat, cool games (free) and helpful apps (free) but I think I'd like to try getting to know it on another level. Might start putting the calendar to use, doing some syncing, you know, just letting our love blossom and see where it takes us, my iPhone and I. But since I paid for it, is that legal? I'll find an app for that, and it better be free!

Technology is nuts.

I'm blogging from my new timewaste/gadget of the century, the iPhone. It's already won me over by comforting me through the tech loss. Seriously, did that really happen? Don't answer that. Yay Frogs, and iPhone's...

It's funny when dogs talk.

Please enjoy the actual video, and a video response, posted below. I've heard from a trusted source that these are great for ring tones too. :)

Stuff that Smells Terrific. Yum.

I've been told that I'm slacking on my blog lately, so I'm going to hit it hard, with a soft subject. Um, yeah. Here are some things that I've had my eye/nose on lately. Some I've actually smelled in person, some I have only seen and maybe it's the packaging, but they look like they smell delicious. I'll start off with one I haven't bought because it's a little pricey for a candle, let's be honest, but it smells insanely good.


Henri Bendel
9.4 oz. Filled Candle
Vanilla Bean
$26

Of course, Kiehl's had to be included. I am still loving my Cranberry lotion/soap, though like a fine frozen marg, I enjoy them slowly. The Coconut variety sounds like it might be scentalicious. Hmmm... Can't seem to find a photo for it, and it seems to be out of stock in some places. Here's a Kiehl's product I know kicks a** and it smells so good, I can't even tell you...


Kiehl's Since 1851 Extra-Strength
Conditioning Rinse with Coconut 8.4oz
$21.00

This one is a perfume I got a little sample bottle of recently, thanks to Erik's aunt Shera who is always so sweet to send me little perfume treats. The latest one she sent is part of the Harajuku Lovers set, which is headed up by Gwen Stefani. Each scent represents one of the little Harajuku chicks, but I like 'G' the best. It's coconutty and smells so good you want to lick it off your arm. The little mini's are the cutest, and portable!


'G'
1 oz eu de toillete
$45

Well, I'll definitely put some more stuff up here soon. I know there are more scentalicous things out there, but these three are at the top of the current list. I'll keep my nose open though. More to come! (she said it, and she knows she did)
