Hooray for the Weekend!

Can’t wait to go ^here^ today. My weekend has been in full swing since Friday, but it was rainy the whole time. So, what’s my weekend plan? Read, lay in the sun, and eat watermelon.

 

Here is a bunch of links to things that are sort of cool:

I know I posted about balloons last week, but these balloons are even better because you can buy them and give them to people and each one is made one of a kind for you! And did I mention that they are amazing?

Is this a kite or a sail boat in the sky? You’ll never know.

I want these shorts so badly. They are both high-waisted and scalloped. Everything you could ever need in life.

I would move to New York City in a flash for this internship.

Something everyone should make, all you need is a freezer.

Have so much fun with color.

Hard hitting news: New, expensive toilets to take over plumbing industry.

Nice illustrated bags.

For the modern locket lover.

Drumming for Money

New single “Money” by the Drums from their upcoming album Portamento coming out September 12th.

If the Smiths and David Bowie and the Beach Boys all had a baby together it would be the Drums. Maybe they did, we’ll never know.

Hot for your weekend

Well this weather sure is something hot. Like an oven, or fire. The heat makes it hard for me to respond to anything without screaming “What!” or a long string of swears.

Here’s a list of links for silly things in an attempt to distract you from the heat:

An interview of Ryan Gosling, that made me think I was still in the 90s when David Letterman was cool.

Coffins.. but they’re nice.

Lego ice cubes: build something really amazing, then watch it melt before you are done!

I try and be as late on trends as possible, so here is something rather tardy. This woman wore the same dress for a year, but made it stylish. Here is a video of all her outfits.

Great Balloons!

Arrange things by color, you’ll be so much cooler.

I want this tie.

Things that are cute and summery.

Tats for City Rats

I would get this temporary tattoo, but I am not confident that I truly love NYC more then Milton. He seemed pretty into the city in the documentary To Inform and Delight.

New York Times Butt of Joke

The New York Times got a little PG-13 this Sunday, with an interesting choice of words on their front page story. “Tabloid Taint Rubs Off On a Cozy Scotland Yard”. When I looked at it online it seems as though they caught their joke at the tail end, the new headline reads “Stain From Tabloids Rubs Off on a Cozy Scotland Yard“. It just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Happy “your weekend is almost over”

I took this. And, I know, once again I am caught mid-weekend, but keeping up with life is hard.

 

Article on old vegetables on Plymouth Plantation. Women’s kitchen gardens were generally an acre. And they didn’t have glasses. Life sucked.

An amazing cottage in Nova Scotia.

Things you bring/wear in Paris to ensure you don’t look like an idiot.

Horrible Bosses was funny.

Rainbow popsicles.

Best new nicknames for Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley.

The only good thing to come out of fake eHarmony videos.

Seats for everyone.

10 Reasons to Love Louis CK

Okay so life is full of lists, and most of them are boring and full of shit you don’t want to do, but this one is going to be great because it’s about Louis CK. So get ready.

10. He has a twitter. Clearly hip and with it.

9. His jokes are like little, beautiful, thoughtful presents, but instead of being wrapped in tissue paper they have been placed in a sweaty sock. So at first you hate the person for giving it to you, but when you look inside you are touched.

8. He does every step of the creating process: writing, producing, directing, editing.

7. He was interviewed by Pitchfork and it was a good interview.

6. He’s Mexican.

5. He did this with other great comedians.

4. He is all for the gays.

3. He was on the Daily Show a couple of days ago and left John Stewart and I shaking (with laughter).

2. He tells it like it is to Donald Rumsfeld, but mostly just asks him if he’s a lizard.

(I know I have posted this before, but I know that no one listened to it, so this is attempt two.)

1. He’s really funny.

These lists are really hard. Louis is great, but this was a lot more effort than I anticipated.
