but I just stumbled upon the fact that Penn Jillette is going to be on the next Penn Jillette is going to be on the next Dancing With The Stars. Â
Whaaaat?! Ok, I’ll admit I don’t watch the show (I think I’ve seen it once) but how freakin’ awesome is that?! I *lurve* Penn & Teller. I *lurved* Penn’s book Sock and I *superlurve* their show Bullshit! And now we get to watch him Flamenco? Rock on.Â
But wait, there’s more. Adam Carolla too?! Well, now they’re just getting silly on me. Even though he should annoy the snot out of me, I *lurve* Adam Carolla, and harbor a deep, dark wish that he’ll do another run of his Adam Carolla Project.
Well, hmmmm, let’s see who else… Priscilla Presley. Eh, not so much. Although what if she slips and falls and her face shatters into a million tiny pieces? That’d be some good tv, wouldn’t it?

I’ve been getting lots of spam lately for something called “Soft Viagra.”  And so a couple of notes to the spam purveyors:
1. I do not own a penis. Please whittle down your mailing lists accordingly.
2. Are you sure that “Soft Viagra” is the best you can do in the naming department? Really? It seems a bit, well, defeatist if you ask me. Â

rapidly-swelling-because-of- massive- Conversation- Heart- inhalation ass. Â
FYI: If someone begs you to be a room mother because no one else has signed up, there’s a reason for that. One, apparently this seemingly-simple job is too much work and other people know that, and two, you have “sucker” stamped on your forehead.Â
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
See you tomorrow after I’ve burned all the candy in the house.Â

Ok, so I’m not one of those salt & pepper shaker people. You know, the collecting type. I have maybe three sets in the house: one, a very functional Oxo set; one that’s more for company (although we rarely remember to use them when the rare day rolls around that we have company); and then this Lilliput set from Alessi (which we also rarely use but I *lurve*).Â
So now (of course!) Alessi has done it to me again with the cute, plasticky things with faces. This time in the form of a set of S&P monkeys. And not just monkeys — monkeys on a banana boat flume ride!Â
You know the best part about these things I love from Alessi? The fact that I get to buy toys for ME, and then leave them sitting around in plain view. Because they’re not really toys, right? They’re functional household objects… that make me smile.

Ok, I just saw these Luna drawers over on Apartment Therapy and while I love the shape of this (and I do love her other furniture too — mod! colorful! funky! shiny!), all I keep thinking is…Â Â
“Live long and prosper.”Â

So I have this friend, N., who has an uncanny knack for finding completely ridiculous things that I. SIMPLY. MUST. HAVE. Yesterday was no exception. Not once have I ever thought to myself, “Hmmmm… I really would like to have a small, stuffed Mr. T doll,” and yet once I saw this one, I cannot think of anything else apart from OWNING A SMALL, STUFFED MR. T DOLL!
So just stop it, N., stop it. Have pity on this fool.

Have you seen the new straws at Burger King? And, by that, I mean HAVE YOU SEEN THEM?!Â
Ok wait, I don’t really know if they’re new in the common use of the word. By “new” I mean, “We go to Burger King maybe once every 3-6 months because it’s an 80 mile roundtrip. We used to have one in our town but, somewhat surprisingly, my hardcore ICEE habit wasn’t enough to keep it in business. Anyway, we went tonight for the first time in ever and that’s what I mean when I say ‘new.’ New to us hicks in BK-less land.”Â
But, back to my point. Have you seen the straws? Â The BIG straws?! Look at it — it’s like 4,000 time the size of a regular straw. They. are. freakin’. awesome!Â

Ok, this crafty cellphone Valentine is so cute I’m afraid it will make my eyeballs melt. But as cute as it is, we’ll never make it — it has a bad ratio. Meaning, while I do love the concept (and do love me some paper candy), it looks like an awful lot of work for a measly 12 dots of sugar. They’re kidding with this, right? Valentine’s Day is all about the candy and there’s just no payoff here.

Let me preface this by saying I do not like hangy things. This includes most everything dangly: mobiles, fringe, tassels, hippie bead curtains, vertical blinds, wind chimes and whatever these things are supposed to be. I don’t know why, don’t ask me… maybe I have enough disorder in my life without adding just that much more.Â
That said, I absolutely adore this Recyclobile (ok, love the thing, not the name). It just looks so cheery. And fun. Like if you were two, you’d want to run right through the middle of it 400 times in a row.
Oh wait, now I remember another reason not to like dangly things…

An Alanis kind of irony may just be the most brilliant Indexed yet. Â
