Andy Warhol Pinata

Andy Warhol Pinata
Originally uploaded by Brooklyn Museum

i really enjoy the Brooklyn Museum. it's a great space and they tend to have decent exhibits. this makes me love them even more. andy warhol in pinata form? how does it get any better? gosh.

girls like you love girls like me.

i really appreciate when advertising is self-aware. see below:

lock jaw.

i heard about this story courtesy of the most recent episode of Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! sometimes you really can have too much meat. the best part, in my opinion anyway, is that they've taken this guy's unfortunate eating experience and turned it into a contest and publicity stunt. america!

bikes.

as i was using my local ATM, i noticed this beautiful tree across the parking lot. it really is spring now, isn't it? and a perfect time for bike rides!

otter romance.

i'm a sucker for cute animals (see owls below). there is just something about a fuzzy animal face doing something silly or cute that is just universally appealing, and i am just as likely as anyone to laugh while watching a baby panda sneeze.

today however, i present to you two of my favorite water bound animals: otters holding hands. it would probably be best to watch the video on mute, as the comments from the peanut gallery get a bit annoying, but the romance between these two just gets me every time.

owl box.

i love owls. i think they are adorable. and deadly. it's the same reason i love cats so much (only cats are better because they cuddle).

thanks to ustream.tv, we can now enjoy the wonder of owls up close and personal from our internet devices.

go to http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox to see a mother owl named molly and her new little babies being adorable.

also enjoyable about this: 1.how crazy it is that it exists, and 2.that there are so many people enjoying this simultaneously and actively commenting and chatting on the spectacle. crazy.

team coco- simultaneously plugged and snubbed.

Slash apparently supports Conan Obrien. good for him. NBC apparently doesn't appreciate this. what else is new?



view the video of the whole performance (badly edited) on gawker.tv.

I'm with Coco.

jamie oliver at TED

i like you jamie oliver. i like what you're all about. not just the naked thing either (although i do miss your show on food network).

i respect jamie oliver because he doesn't just talk about sustainability or eating locally- he really backs it up with his cooking. lately he's become the poster boy for school cafeteria reform. and it's about time someone took up that torch. i know my high school lunches consisted mostly of dressing drenched "salad," chocolate chip cookies, and potato chips. not exactly well rounded. oliver is taking his mission public in america in his new show Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution (which airs on ABC, friday nights at 9pm).

below is a video of oliver's speech from TED earlier this year. for more about TED, check out the documentary from 2007 (which showcased the year al gore presented what would become An Inconvenient Truth).

someone still loves you boris yeltsin.

this band has been around for a little while now, but i just discovered their existence. the music is pretty good, but the name is what really got my attention.

enjoy!
