Thought of the Day

Provoking question from MUG:

You know those '2009' glasses that people have been wearing for New Year's eve this decade, in which the two centered 00's were for your eyes? The next time this is possible is the year 3000. We wonder, will people wear those glasses then?

Jackalope Day

Happy Columbus Day to the lucky bitches who aren't stuck at work. Otherwise, it's another mundane Monday - but it's not completely hopeless as I just discovered the "existence" of the Jackalope.
Q: What is a Jackalope?
A: The Antler-ed Bunny



Now I want one to mount on my wall to replace this.
Please note they also come in different variaties. This winged version originates from Wall, South Dakota (sounds like an awful place to live)



This fascinating creature has made it to movie-like stardom in roles such as "Jackalope" of Oscar-nominated Pixar short "Boundin'".



I was also alerted by a coworker of the French counterpart "The Dahu".
Q: What is a Dahu?
A: A mountain goat-like animal with legs of differing lengths



A less superior creature than the Jackalope, the Dahu hails from the French Alps. And because it has shorter legs on one side, it can only walk around the mountain in one direction otherwise it falls...

One method of capture:

To have pepper ground onto a large stone; when the dahu, while grazing, comes and sniffs the pepper, it would sneeze and knock itself out against the stone.

Sweet Things

Hm. It's been a while since I posted. I believe in the no labor past 'Labor Day' policy ... not that blogging is tiresome or anything of course, but I like to spin it as 'I'm going into hibernation until it's properly warm again'. It's not even officially fall yet and I've had to pull out my stockings - although I do not deny the pleasure of wearing them. Mm, best part of fall fashion: stockings and boots ...

Anyhoo, I digress. Check out this bit o' fun. And if I could afford it I would furnish my new apt w/ all these items of 'sweet' nostalgia. Button Bench and Gummi Light below.

OMFG

"NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- In a move that seems to run counter to the habits of viewers who love the teen drama "Gossip Girl," the network that airs the series said it will not stream the next five episodes online."

I hope CW knows it ain't movin' forward with a move like this. Nevertheless ... I sat myself down and actually tuned in old-school last night cuz, well, Gossip Girl is kinda too delicious to resist. Omg what are u doing Little J, Omg who's G, Omg what's B gonna do ...

So in continuation with my Gossip Girl tribute-like post, best NYMag cover in a while, no?

To Cater to My ADD

Hi,

Despite not updating lyndasays.blogspot.com as often as I like (I know, I know, I'm getting to it)... I've decided to create a lyndaalsosays.blogspot.com. Food is number one in my life (being the fatty that I am) but there are some other random things that I'd like to share too. Here's to my short attention span and brainfarts.
