holy cow, i can’t believe i missed this…

tony pointed out that, in addition to a kid getting yelled at in this postcard, there’s a HUGE typo!

“celelbration” indeed! thanks tony!

i made him and now i loves him so much.

paul has been using pandora at work these days. it played him a song that he came home and played for me. it’s called “i’m sorry for what my people did to your people” and it’s by larry gallagher and it’s awesome.

thematically, it reminds me a little of “love me, i’m a liberal” by phil ochs, and nelly mckay‘s “really“… not that the songs are the same, but they have something in common at least in the way they make me feel inspired and embarrassed and smart, all at the same time.

anyway, i love it. you might too. clicky.mp3.

also, here’s a video for larry’s “ode to the nokia ringtone.”

*update* — i bought two of his cds, (this one and this one) and having listened to them both i can now report:

smart, funny, grown-up, and musically interesting… my favorites.

larry gallagher = excellence

i’m not a gamer but i do like games. what i like more are smart people who get mad when they get stupid emails from unhappy people. there’s a smart guy named yahtzee croshaw who does an animated video game review show. this week yahtzee get riled by the folks who sent him email crying about his super smash bros. brawl review. (it’s a little sweary, maybe a little nsfw-ish, so you know.)

love it. clicky.

(thanks to paul who found it at daring fireball.)

man, there’s nothing this park can’t ban. clicky.

but here’s a chocolate anus.

clicky. (thanks to kristen, who reads blogs like this so i don’t have to.)

it was so hard to pick which images to showcase here. every single piece of art on stepanka’s site is breathtaking. of her porcelain wall pillows, she says they are hand built using slabs, with an original drawing etched into the clay, glazed, in some parts and fired in gas kiln.

i’m amazed. clicky.

my flickr luck is effin’ uncanny. look…look at this why don’t you!?

all hail flickr! clicky.

i found this on sew-n-so’s 52 things in 52 weeks blog. best part: it’s a toilet paper roll cozy!! clicky.

that’s right. it’s a giant glass member with a jaunty moostache.

the proud recipient of this masterpiece writes:

Sometimes, if you are lucky & have amazing friends, you will walk out & find a giant, Italian penis rocking a mustache & a beret, just chilling on your porch. Then, if you are me, & I am, you will SCREAM & carry on about how amazing it is for a good 20 minutes!

clicky. thanks, cofygirl!
