Okay well I'm just about out of bandwidth on my photo server for the month (and I have A LOT of fucking bandwidth, so reaching the limit is quite the accomplishment), but there's only a couple of days left so hopefully this post doesn't put me over... I did request more, so maybe it will be applied before it reaches the limit and it won't matter anyway.


ANYWAY, I've had people bugging me to post these so HERE,
ENJOY SOME EVENT PHOTOS:

I have always loved these tumbleweeds that you see on the veldt. They grow up, flower beautifully, break off, and roll around scattering seeds. I keep trying to find out their real name, but they're locally just known as tumbleweeds. I found one on a walk in the veldt recently, and hung it up over my stove, like so:



Simply beautiful! Then I hit on the idea that in my new cottage, with a big dome thatch roof, I can hang up about 20 of them, run fairy lights through them, and make a whole galaxy. Brilliant! But they're few and far between, so I asked a local woman who was eager for work that I'd give her about $3 for each one she brought me.

Within a week, I was faced with this:



...and what you see here isn't even all of them. Does this remind anyone of the Star Trek episode? The Trouble with Tribbles? Can you imagine if they were hostile? Or if you were on LSD and walked in here?!

OMG, I have to go find some tripping people. That would be So. Much. Fun.


EDIT: Ha. After some intensive googling, I found them. They're called 'Boophone' - leading me to believe that they are indeed hostile, or at least like making prank calls. Part of the amaryllis family. So when you see those Christmas Amaryllis plants on sale, think of their exotic cousins, blowing on the hot veldt.

Hi ho!

Last weekend I cleaned my laundry using vinegar for the very first time, and was pleased with the results. I was curious to know, could you use apple cider vinegar for this purpose too? Or is it just white vinegar?

The day after Thanksgiving is usually pretty rough. If all that food doesn’t make your stomach turn, then the Body Snake Infomercial certainly will. I will tell you right now, watching Miley Cyrus accept her MTV Movie Award made it a little difficult to keep down the leftovers.

Sit back and relax, because we had just enough great clips from 2009 left to bring you one more installment of our Thanksgiving Edition Best Day Ever with Frangela, Natasha Leggero, Tiffany Haddish, and Mike Britt. Enjoy:

Well little orange and white tabby, as it turned out, you weren't micro-chipped, no one in the neighborhood seemed to know who you were or where you belonged, nor apparently was anyone looking for you. Calls to the shelter, local vets, news papers, flyers and ad listings turned up nada. In the meantime you made yourself perfectly at home. You LOVES the girl child, only puffed up at JarJar dog twice and now try to love all over her and play with her much to her confusion. She's used to Yo-yo the cranky kitty who has sharp pointy bits and is not afraid to use them. You have figured out every window in the house and which are the best for bird watching, and that kitchen counters are not for kitties. Yo-yo is tolerant of you so long as you don't go charging up on her or try to get in her food bowl.

Yep you've found yourself a new home....
