In Twin Peaks - Then vs. Now


Here's a nice sinister post for Halloween!

Did ya know, it's been like 20 yrs since the ominous Twin Peaks?
Sometimes things change, but sometimes the creepy factor stays the same, as evident by Charles' Twin Peaks pics. He's got a real knack for finding Twin Peak locations and capturing them 2 decades later!

The top image is a still from the show, the bottom is Charles' take. Pretty eerily similar!

I do love me some Twin Peaks

Happy Halloweenie!

Sigh...

Hollywood Says "Don't Vote"



The first few minutes are pretty funny
(i.e. Borat).
Then just skip the last minutes...gets boring.


Oh Sarcasm, How I love thee!

Mad Men Opener... Simpson Style!

Um.. yeah... I'm a little obsessed with Mad Men... it's true!
On a side note, anyone know where I can get the opener music?
I loves it!

Going Rogue: An Election Short

This is actually DiG's Post (she was having technical difficulties) so I'll let her explain it on another post! Oh boy!

Statistical Rice Show!

What a beautiful way to present statistics!

From the exhibit website: Of All The People In All The World
Of All The People In All The World uses grains of rice to bring abstract statistics to life via exhibitions worldwide. Each grain of rice represents one person.

Over a period of days a team of performers carefully weigh out quantities of rice to represent a host of human statistics in the form of groupings. Some are serious, some not so much.
Some examples include:
- the populations of towns and cities
- the number of doctors, the number of soldiers
- the number of people born each day, the number who die
- all the people who have walked on the moon
- deaths in the holocaust
They have a flickr set here and a good post here! via

Baby Wit - Cool/Hip/Different Baby Things!

Yet ANOTHER friend is having a baby!

So even tho I squeal at the sight of a new baby... the tally is now up to 6 Babies in the next couple months. And I can't stop randomly saying 'Baby.'

Thank goodness there are some pretty darn cool places to get some baby stuff: Like my new favorite Baby Wit! Cause there is nothing worse than a wit-less baby.

Here are 3 of my fav finds!

I Heart My Single Mom: And really, how sad is this that a newborn is wearing a Single Mom shirt.

MISSING KITTY

Tragedy has struck our happy home...
Our little demon spawn, Smudge, has run away from home!
Somehow, when we came home on Sat. Night, our backdoor was wide open...and she was gone!

We think she joined the kitty circus, but we really miss her... considering she is an INDOOR cat with DECLAWED front paws. AND it's starting to get cold, AND she's not so good with new things...AND she's the sweetest thing ever! (see above pics).

Maybe you've seen her?

She's all grey, declawed, less than 10 lbs, green eyes ('cept for the demon pic below) and voraciously eats bananas.


I miss Kitty!

Wry Baby - Or Why I Should Have a Baby NOW


No I'm not preggers... But if I was I would force everyone I knew to buy me these. You heard me! I would be hormonal and you wouldn't be able to argue with me!

But I DO know some pregger ladies that might get a compost heap as a baby shower present! Suckers.

Get'em all here!

But I will share MY Favorite Leanne's darling Final Collection!
If I owned the blue petal dress, I'd totally be one of those kids that refuses to take off their favs.You'd have to peel it off of me!
And how much do I love her jacket she always wears?

So did you know Jerrell & Joe showed their final collections too?
See everyone's final collection here!

Would it be weird if I bought a print of the gummi bears for my candy-loving pregger girlfriend? (you know who you are!!!)
