ain’t that the truth?
I am DYING laughing over this poster featured on Apartment Therapy today. DYING!

all of a sudden, I love an “other”…
Ok, I think I *must* get one of these Get It To Go shirts for my middle child because she has this strange fascination with those little buttons on the top of fast food drinks. And, you gotta admit, that’s one awesome Rat Fink-esque “other.”

Died Young, Stayed Pretty
Â
I can NOT express how much I want to Died Young, Stayed Pretty, the new movie about indie rock poster designers. Weird? Maybe. But it looks to be spectacularly fascinating.   Â
(and, yes, Jen, your hero Art is in it!)Â

drawing circles around me…
This video of Bob Staake illustrating (in Photoshop 3.0!) completely amazes me. You will never again look at the oval marquee in the same way…

obviously…
I need to recreate my Wordle after the Duggar post falls off the page…

demented and sad, but social, right?
You know what makes you feel really, really SUPER old? Hearing a tween rendition of “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” on the Disney Channel. Why? Because now WE’re Carl and Mr. Vernon, and not the brain, athlete, basket case, princess or criminal.

woo-hoo, concrete pavers…
Ok, so this is not the most exciting topic ever, but bear with me. Our back patio is sinking. Like it’s dropped almost a foot in places over the past 40 years. So one of these years (soon. ugh.) we’re going to have to rip it out and re-do it.
Unfortunately it’s not going to be some cool, colorful epoxy terrazzo masterpiece. It’s going to be something cheap. Preferably something we can DIY. We could have concrete poured. But it’s either plain-ass boring ol’ gray, or it’s hella-expensive schmancy stained and stamped stuff. We could do brick — but we have enough finishes on our house as it is (wood siding, metal siding, Hardie board, other color of brick that would be impossible to match), we don’t need to add another. I could go for natural stone (mmmmm… bluestone) but, again with the dollars. Or we could do pavers. Which usually make me want to scream with their twee shapes and obnoxious pink hues, but then I saw these modern pavers. And Hallelujah! mine eyes have seen the light! See how it’s all skinny and cool-shaped? See how it sorta looks like a plank floor? Woo-hoo! Concrete pavers!

in Training…
It hasn’t been a stellar summer for Threadless as far as I’m concerned. They just haven’t had many shirts that have made me jump to click that order button. Until now. But this Training shirt is so cute and so cool that I’m pretty sure my boy needs one.Â
I had high hopes for this week’s round of prints — not only was there the cool Godzilla shirt, but there was also one named All I Need. I’m fairly sure my heart skipped a beat as I anticipated some extraordinary tee with a paddle ball game and Navin Johnson. Alas, it was not to be. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised as most of the people drawing for Threadless these days were most likely not even alive when the Jerk came out. Â
oh, le sigh…Â Â
