Don Ho, Peter Gabriel, Tom Selleck, David Hasselhoff, Danno, and a monkey

September 30, 2007 – 12:27 pm

I have previously annointed Pat and Mick’s YouTube masterpiece as the most Eighties music video of all time but, having now seen what you are about to see, I must reconsider. This has everything, including Giant Squid, a midnight zoo jailbreak, skydiving, a luau, flaming tiki torches, an octopus drummer, and a David Hasselhoff cameo. [...]

My magpie fascination

September 30, 2007 – 7:52 am

A random thought…
I looked up from the computer to notice that the bamboo, which grows four feet over the balcony, which is twelve feet from the ground, was sparkling.
Sparkling.
And me wuvs me some sparklitude. It’s the bane of my existence, this ban on sequins before 5pm; isn’t daylight when they would be shown to full [...]

today’s fun testicle fact

September 30, 2007 – 2:50 am

Alas, I have no way of knowing if it’s true. There are no testicles handy (sigh) except for all of these ones in jars, and they just sit there, they don’t dangle. Please do examine any testicles that come to hand and report back in the comments.
From Popbitch:
“Re last week’s mailout testicle story… The higher

Pony Pride

September 29, 2007 – 2:50 pm

This is awesome. It is frightening. It is hilarious. But the comments on the YouTube page are the best of all: not only are her fellow pony collectors cheering her on for being “an individual” just like them, they’re trashing and multi-downvoting everyone who doesn’t believe exactly as they do. Fandom [...]

The most intellectual sheep you’ll ever see

September 29, 2007 – 8:54 am

Seriously, I’ve met Beagles that can’t handle this. That guy is a genius, and I only wish I spoke enough Spanish to email him and ask him to train my next boyfriend!

my dream house: the floorplan

September 29, 2007 – 6:50 am

It should be Lambos, not Ferraris, but otherwise this sounds pretty good. The only problem is, it seems to give everyone pretty much the same result.

Your home is a
Rough Muse’s Mansion

Your kitchen is only used when the weather won’t permit barbecuing. There’s a pantry stocked with beef jerky. Oh, [...]

things I have learned from living with a vegan raw food chef/holistic healer

September 29, 2007 – 2:11 am

This list is not exhaustive, because he hasn’t stopped talking yet. It must be prefaced with the information that I’ve lost 20 pounds since he moved in and he’s a good friend, a lovely fellow, and as delightful a roommate as I’ve ever encountered.
However.

milk equals pus. It doesn’t matter if you know the cows from [...]

Quick filler boogie post

September 28, 2007 – 1:37 am

I am, thanks to the crisis-aversion actions taken by, respectively in order of the order they action-took, devblog, Sean Heather, and The Sister, getting my groove back, somewhat. Sean also stuffed me with exotic meats and cheeses (a godsend to those of us who live with raw vegan chef-types; my cholesterol count was getting dangerously [...]

September 27, 2007 – 8:33 am

I would put up a post, but quite frankly I’m completely frazzled and preoccupied. I am like a Chihuahua on crack. In a blender.
I need to round up a good solid $300 by the end of this month, OR ELSE. Seriously, I haven’t even got the presence of mind to trawl through the quizzes and [...]
