Mommy and Daddy ought to put down the PBR long enough to teach me to spell.
This is, however, a perfectly acceptable use of Comic Sans.

You guys. 20 foot animatronic Triceratops. Okay, so the copywriters at Hammacher Schlemmer did not get the memo about Triceratops not actually being a real dinosaur at all but merely the juvenile Torosaurus: SO WHAT. The only thing more awesome than a 20 foot animatronic dinosaur is a 20 foot animatronic BABY dinosaur, right? Listen: “motion activated cameras. . . work in unison with customized interactive software that enables [it] to recognize multiple subjects’ facial features”. AND IT BELLOWS.

about moles
June 15, 2011
Moles eat: insects and worms.
During the day time they hide in: cracks in rocks, under logs, or leaves.
Found tucked inside an old Golden Book Encyclopedia that I was cutting up for bookbinding. Nostalgia dictates hanging onto any note I find that’s written on ditto paper, partly because it’s such a dreamy purple hued piece of printmaking history, and partly because the spirit duplicator was my generation’s first high.

This is a record I picked up at St Vinnie’s yesterday: a souvenir of the Christ’s Ambassadors Youth Convention 1973 in Scarborough, Ontario (spelled “Scarboro” on the sleeve). I’m sure that the music contained within is as terrible as you can imagine, but I wanted it for the amazing cover art. The deal was pretty much sealed when I opened it up to check out the quality of the disc and found a fold out poster, about 45 x 45cm (18 x 18″) square, that is an exact reproduction of that cover art. SCORE.
I haven’t decided yet if I want to hang it in the living room next to the sacred heart statue, or over my bed.

barbage*
March 18, 2011
Peter found this useful little object while spring cleaning some hard-to-get-to spots in the kitchen last weekend. It’s a miniature pink adjustable wrench with the words “LOVE ME” on the side and a rusty old jingle bell attached to the handle. It’s the strangest piece of Barbage we’ve found in a long time, and proof that after almost eight years there are still some crevices in this house we haven’t ventured into yet. Is that gross?
*”Barbage” is the term applied to all items left behind in our house by the previous owner, a single mom with five teenagers (including a set of triplets). Her name was Barb. That was obvious, probably.
