I Surf Like a Boy

Your Surfing Habits are 80% Male, 20% Female

If we had to guess, we would guess that you are a man. You use the internet to make your life more efficient - and to make you smarter. For you, the internet is like a vast encyclopedia. You search and surf extensively. You look up everything online.

Do You Use the Internet Like a Man or a Woman?

Zen and the Art of the Silly Party

Isn't it fun when one thing you think is fun turns out to be connected to something else you think is fun? Such is the case with Zen Noir and Michael Palin for President. It turns out that Marc Rosenbush is behind both of them.

Thanks Marc!

Mama Needs a New Pair of Shoes

As I mentioned in a previous post, I don't much go for all those regular girlie things like shoes and handbags. This week marks a solemn occassion because I have spent more than ever before on a pair of shoes. $85. I know, if I were a "Sex in the City" girl that would be like one shoe. Maybe. On sale.

But I am definitely NOT a "Sex in the City" girl. So what bit of footwear convinced me to pay about $50-70 more than I normally would? (Yes, you have no idea how cheap I can be.) Was it Jimmy Choo or some other sexy, hip modern designer? Oh hellll no. You can't seduce me with strappy, saucy, high-heeled goodness. The sweet nothings that had to be whispered in my ear were "gore-tex uppers" and "vibram soles." Yeah, baby, I got myself a pair of Merrell hiking boots.

I picked up my last pair of hiking boots at an outlet store for $15. (Nice ones, original retail $75.) The most I've ever paid for hiking boots before was $50 (on sale, of course). For "work shoes" (category of flats, heels, boots, etc) I think my top dollar purchase has been $40. In my mind, if life were fair I would be able to live in Converse High Tops. But life, she is not fair, eh?

So how much have YOU ever paid for a pair of shoes? Be honest, this is for posterity...

Dude. We TOLD You Not to Invite Them

I will admit that my first thought when I read this article was, "Uh... the Emmy's were on Sunday...?"

But after reading that reality hosts opened the show, and bombed, I was glad that I missed the whole thing.

"It's like, we let you into the party and you spilled beer all over the couch," one industry insider said of the reality hosts. - Hollywood Reporter

Well, you know, we could have told you that would happen.

Would You Make a Good Pirate?

The post title comes from one of my very, very favorite silly Disney pirate song, The First Mate Is a Monkey off the Swashbuckling Sea Songs album. I also have my own full sized Jolly Roger flag so I think you can see how I scored so well...
