for the woman of taste

Found in Mom's beauty drawer:
Something about the packaging and the placement of bobby pins really pleased me.

That's it, I've had it with this dump!

Back in January I claimed I would blog everyday. Well, two plus months later and nary a word. Since that proclamation I have moved, severely changed my daily life, and have pretty much been down in the dumps. For about two months I was listening to nothing but three Carpenter's tunes over and over. Let me tell ya, that will really f' you up. Well blog reader, it is time to clear out the fog and get going again. I have a feeling this summer is going to be a good one.

p.s.
Dear bike thief,
you better hope I never find you.

Crazy kid

While packing up my bookshelf I stumbled across this old gem.


In 1st grade we had to do writing exercises everyday. We would get a prompt and would have to basically fill in some blanks. Normally these consisted of me talking about ice cream, puppies, and monsters.

On one particular day the prompt was to specify a few things you would want one hundred of and one thing you would not want one hundred of.

3/1/90

Everything seems pretty standard here except the "But I would not like a hundred Saddams,"bit is a little strange. Why on earth was I talking about Saddam Hussein in 1st grade? I'm pretty sure I had to ask my teacher how to spell it. I wonder what she was thinking.

Oh man, I crack myself up. There is also a brief mention of General Colin Powell on another page.

Cluster cuss

Whenever it is Thanksgiving, and it so happens that it is today, I think of a feast that was depicted in a book I read when I was little.

Said book:
It seems uncommon to find a child that gets so depressed about things, especially things that most people get joy from. I don't know about you reader, but I can relate to Charlie Brown and his particular brand of depression.

I wish I could just hibernate from November 1st to January 1st.


In the story Peppermint Patty invites herself and a few others to Charlie Brown's for a Thanksgiving dinner. The problem is that he is going to his Grandma's and he has to put on a feast before heading to his real dinner.

One day I plan on having a Thanksgiving that looks just like this.

and we will serve toast, pretzel sticks, popcorn, jellybeans, and sundaes.

Everyone is pissed off but then they all get invited to Grandma's for some real food.

I would be pretty excited to be served ice cream for Thanksgiving. I hope you all have a lovely day!

In honor of Life Day

"No matter how different we appear, we're all the same in our struggle against the powers of evil and darkness."




Check out this sweet Micro Machines packaging

This kid can't believe what is inside Chewbacca's head!

Box detail

I love that they used an illustration instead of stills from the movies.

Out of the box

Is it me or does Chewy bear a strange resemble to Will Ferrell?

Happy Life Day everybody!

yowa

You know you want to see this full scale.

I found this ad in an old architecture magazine. Who are they trying to sell these shower heads to? Gratuitous male nudity? I'm shocked, this is racy!

dang!
