The future is goofy...

Ever since their grand unveiling, I have thought that the Segway is super dorky.

Just look at it in action:


It doesn't matter who you are, there is NO way you can look cool riding one of these things. I don't care if you have one made by Ferrari or not.

Not to mention, it has got to be THE laziest possible way to get from one place to another. I mean, ride a bike, for pete's sake!

But, believe it or not it actually can get dorkier (and just as lazy). Check it:

Yep, that's a man on a hover scooter. And while the technology may be cool, this gentleman is decidedly NOT. With his tie blowing in the wind, I am embarrassed for him. But, hey, if you think that this might be your thing and you have an extra 17 G's lying around, buy one here.

Or perhaps you would like to sit, since standing can be so very exhausting.


What is that, you ask? It is none other than a motorized monocycle. You can try to be as hip as this guy, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.


Oh future, what other ghastly, technologically awe-inspiring, inventions will you deliver to us next?

Your favorite 80's videos...literally...

Well, these may not be your favorites, but they are definitely literal.





I want more!

Those crazy kids...

Joel and I spent a good part of Thursday evening looking at hysterical and super-cute videos on YouTube. I feel inclined to share our findings with you. Enjoy!

This kid is my hero:



I love her Michael Jackson impressions....Ooh! Oooh!



Blood is NOT funny.



Haven't we all felt this way at some time or another?

A shower fit for a queen...

A really tacky queen.

I mean, I love a chandelier and I love a shower, but this might be a bit much. Plus, is this even safe?

What in the hair?

It seems to be that time of year again when I start to get bored with my hair. This leads to me peruse the web and look for the "perfect" new style. Typically, I don't find much which is why I have had a variation on the same style for about 6 years now. I did manage to find a great resource for new inspiration at the Hairdresser's Journal website. There are thousands of photos to browse through and you can narrow your search by length, color and even decade. Some of the styles from past decades are insane! Check out this updo from the 50's:


Yikes! And this updo from 1969 is no better!


Hilarious!!! And the 70's did hair no favors...


and then...


Holy moly. All of this makes me start to think that my hair looks pretty good.

But just to show you that current styles can be just as out of control, take a look at the "striped series":


Although, I must admit that I think there is something kind of cool about this look. But these next ones take it to a whole other level:





I could seriously do this all night. I suggest you check out the gallery yourself and if you find a look you think I might like, please e-mail it to me!

God Bless You!

I just realized that one of my favorite blogs, The Sneeze, is back after a long hiatus. I laughed out loud in the first 60 seconds. He is a comic genius! Check it out!

I somehow doubt this...

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

That's right...microwave pancakes that are "better than homemade!". Who are they trying to kid? I think they may be in cahoots with the makers of the batter blaster.

Dinner it up!

I was perusing PAGES (and I mean 241 pages) of wallpaper online last night, preparing for the painting/wallpapering prep work that is going to take place in my new condo one week from today. YAY! I came across this wallpaper...

I don't know that I would ever use it, unless I had a huge walk-in closet that I wanted to decorate, but it reminded me of my childhood. This will most definitely age me, but does anyone else remember when Wendy's (the hamburger chain) had their tables made of old newsprint similar to this? I remember the tables and the glass beads that hung around the line that you would wait in to order. Boy, did I love Wendy's. It is actually still my favorite fast food burger joint.

Anyway, if you don't remember, here is a chance for you to step back in time. Enjoy.

Jerk.

Earmark Invitations makes cards and invitations for many different occasions, but this is one of my favorites:


They are business card sized and perfect for sticking under the windshield of that annoying shopper in the mall parking lot. Love it, buy it here.

I've been looking for a cure for my gout...

I'm definitely getting one of these for my new place. Brightening of the mind? Yes, please. Stimulating the liver? Huh? What does that mean exactly?

Pop it like it's hot

Remember Jiffy Pop?

I used to love cooking it up on the stove when I was a kid. It was so fun to watch the flat pan full of popcorn kernels turn into an aluminum foil balloon full of popped deliciousness.

Obviously, the people at Rojas clothing line are also fans of this stove top sensation. Observe:

What would happen if this butt got too close to an open flame? If you would like to find out, you can buy them here. Is it any wonder that they're on sale?
