Ladies! Do you wish you could get all the glamor of tying a sweater around your waist in a shirt? Do you wish tops were more like those unflattering old lady bathing suits? Do you want to draw attention to the thickest part of your waist? Peplum!

Forecast: spooky with a 20% chance of monsters.

If you only have one Halloween decoration, make it Creepy Monkey. Creepy Monkey: coming alive at night and murdering your family since 1950.

I’m glad someone did this b/c god knows I really, really wanted to.

This picture came up in my Facebook newsfeed. I’m very tempted to put that as one of those annoying signature lines in emails to my employees. We’ve got to fix this “I’m a special snowflake—better than all the other snowflakes” problem before graduation somehow.

In northern Mongolia, reindeer territory, 13-year-old Puje fearlessly explores the wild landscape.”

I try to do something to annoy Dave every now and again. This is a precaution in case I predecease him. If I’m occasionally annoying, he’ll miss me an appropriate amount, but be able to get on with life when he recalls things like this. Lately, I’ve been singing:

Long Exposure Fireflies

There’s a Radiolab episode: http://www.radiolab.org/2007/aug/14/there-is-no-lord-of-the-fireflies/

This will totally fit in an advent calendar or stocking.

Does it come as a dress, too?

Clearly, I cannot bake another cookie without this apron.

Hair Envy

In my next life, I want to have hair like this. I wonder what I have to do in this lifetime to ensure this upgrade? I’ll try to think nicer things about people at the grocery store if that’s what it takes.

Best Job Ever

Today I’m buying lots of nail polish and twinkly lights for work. I really love my job.
