Weekend of Bagpipers
This weekend, I will be watching the parade that goes in front of my house every year. Hello bagpipers!
Tiny giraffe’s that are adorable, but not real and actually an ad campaign.
If hipsters could eat cookies, they would eat these cookies.
More and more balloons. But these ones are of the hot air persuasion.
Peeing while in a romper, the step-by-step instructions everyone needs.
Great house, with great colors, and everything in it is great.
I like birds and I like mobiles. Meet the birdmobile.
Floral lettering because regular fonts are stupid.
Meeting of the minds: Michael Cera and the Jersey Shore cast.
Hope your weekend is full of bagpipers and other fun things.
Sneakers or Magical Beast?
New sneakers from Nike have been named after flying unicorns.
Nike Women's Air Pegasus+
Don’t you see the similarities?

My, My Mavis
As a kid I would attempt to play computer games, but I found them very stressful. My brother was always playing action games: Doom, Diablo, and other games that I can’t remember the names of. I loved watching, but whenever I would attempt to play I would freeze up. It was too much pressure.
So instead I stole my mom’s “game” Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. It was awesome. The concept was simple: press buttons and get praise. And there was no pressure. If I did poorly, Mavis broke it to me nicely. She is sweet like that.
So now I am all grown up and I want to show Mavis Beacon how fast I can type with accuracy. So, I am downloading a free trial. Do you also want to make Mavis proud? Download Mavis Beacon for mac or for PC.
Here is the original picture that made me crave the support and attention of Mavis. It’s by Adam Lisagor, check it out here.

5 Books about Women Who Are Cooler Than You
While at a flea market last week, I saw the books being sorted into the category “More Interesting Women”. In my mind I automatically made the label say “more interesting women than YOU”. So what female characters do I find more interesting than myself. Well, lets begin…
5. When Everything Changed
This collection of real women’s stories written and collected by Gail Collins is the perfect example of a book full of interesting women. The first story features a woman wearing pants in a courtroom. Can you get more bad ass?
4. I Capture the Castle
This novel by Dodie Smith tells the story of a young girl, Cassandra, as she develops her writing skills in a diary she keeps. Like any young girl she complains of her boring life, but she lives in a castle, making her life way cooler than mine.
3. The Color Purple
Lesbians in the 1930s. Woah! That’s interesting.
2. Zelda
In this biography Nancy Milford tells the life of Zelda Fitzgerald. She was the inspiration for almost every female character F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, so it makes sense that she is super interesting. And reading about Zelda’s transformation from Southern beauty to sad schizophrenic is both unfortunate and engrossing. I have not finished this book yet, but with 75% done I know she is cooler than me.
1. The Women’s Room
I think this book has to be my number one because every woman explored in this book had a story that explains so much about women and their evolution over time. It was remarkable how Marilyn French would delve into minor characters so deeply, telling full back stories that are impossible to forget. Even the most minor character are more interesting than myself.
Well those are the books I could come up with. Have any more to add? Tell me what they are.

Haikus from my Childhood
Looking through the cavern that is my computer and have found some “literary work” from my childhood. Here are some of my haiku attempts :
Tables are useful
They have exactly four legs
I wish they didn’t
Oreos are good
Especially dipped in milk
I love Oreos
Dinosaurs kick butt
They would beat lions a lot
Even in the snow
Valid arguments by me as a preteen.
