a great gift for that special alcoholic in your life

jeez, i know when i'm having a cosy night in, the last thing i want is to have to keep refilling my wine glass.  and it's definitely reasonable to drink an entire bottle of wine in one sitting.

a variation on uncle sam.

From this article on Cake Wrecks about excellent Uncle Sam cakes for 4th of July.  The cake below was far and away my favorite.

Caption from Cake Wrecks: "A Shih Tzu wearing a popcorn bucket.  Wow.  God bless America."

just an update.

So i was looking at pictures of an apartment and got to this page,

http://op8.com/apartment/index.php?prefix=outside&name=south

the text of which reads:

The view looking south from the fire escape,
with the World Trade Centre towers and
Woolworth buildings visible.

Update: World Trade Towers no longer there. 

I mean, it's always important to keep these pages updated.  You wouldn't want someone thinking they were getting something they weren't.  Like, perhaps, a time warp back to pre-2001.

Another note, this apartment is being rented out now, and the pictures are clearly from 10 years ago?  seriously?

a new sect.

So many problems here, but my favorite is his religion.  I definitely want to convert to Ramen Catholicism.  Maybe their eucharist is made of ramen instead of carboardy bread.  mmmm.

two special people.

Two quotes.
First, from my boss, who is more or less a real-life michael scott in terms of tact.  In regards to the child of one of our factory workers:

He looks like the Dominican version of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

Second, my co-worker's father had an emergency at home:

i got a vm from dad: call me as soon as you can
"i had a cereal bowl out this morning.  do you know where it is? did you take it?"
SERIOUSLY???
yes, dad, i took your cereal bowl and hid it somewhere you'd never find it
wtf?

Megamonolith Pictures is holding an open casting call for TITANIC 2: MERMAID SAVIORS, a sequel to the Academy Award-winning 1997 blockbuster TITANIC, on July 1st and 2nd. The film begins moments after the sinking of the Titanic. All who have drowned are brought back to life by a futuristic race of mermaids, called the Mantocks, who welcome the humans to their underwater paradise. Soon after, JACK DAWSON is elected king of the underwater humans. DAWSON requests that all humans be returned above water, a request that is denied by KING MANTROCK. The humans are slowly brainwashed into worshiping their mermaid saviors. Meanwhile, the sunken TITANIC has become a haunted underwater wasteland inhabited by RAGGARO and his band of mermaid pirates. Will the humans ever free themselves from their mermaid slavery? Will the mermaid pirates wage war on Mantock?

All actors seeking consideration must reply to this post with:

1.) A headshot
2.) A few short paragraphs pn why they're qualified for MERMAID SAVIORS.

Actors with mermaid and under water acting experience are highly desirable. 

I have no words.  No words.  Except that this gets extra points for the line "Actors with mermaid and under water acting experience are highly desirable."
