Where The Wild Things Are

A little delayed, but here is a brilliant picture of the Wild Things on the D Line in Boston. This makes me miss the T a lot. Last year on Halloween, I was on the T with someone who was dressed as Moses (on the other side of me was Sweeney Todd) and his crazy cat lady girlfriend. We got to Coolidge Corner and he said "Ah yes, Brookline. This is where all my people are." For those not familiar with the culture geography of Boston, Brookline is home to a lot of Jews. Amazing. This year's Halloween did not compare to riding the T with everyone in their redic costumes. Plus ten Boston. Plus ten.

Next Top Underwater Model

This is friggin amazing. How did they even get all the furniture to stay down in the water?!

The Next 'The OC'?

I love Ikea. It's modern. It's cheap. It's Swedish. It has amazing food. I was available for the shooting of this movie, so why didn't they ask me to be in it?! Also, apparently this was entirely shot in the Burbank Ikea, which is the one I just happen to frequent. Call me next time, people of 'Ikea Heights.'

Pimpin All Over The World

Apparently, this is a new word that is sweeping the Japanese youth culture.

Obamu: (v.) To ignore inexpedient and inconvenient facts or realities, think “Yes we can, Yes we can,” and proceed with optimism using those facts as an inspiration (literally, as fuel). It is used to elicit success in a personal endeavor. One explanation holds that it is the opposite of kobamu. (拒む, which means to refuse, reject, or oppose).

Flooding in a Subway Near You


Ok, we get it. The world is ending in 2012. But do you really need to make it look like a tidal wave is invading a subway tunnel, Sony Pictures? I guess you did. I mean it's pretty brilliant, but if I was in the bowels of the Brazilian subway and stumbled upon this on my daily commute, I might pee a little. But I mean ... well done.

Christmas Gifts?

Some guy in Europe decided that it was time to make loaves of bread into shoes. Is it wrong that i think this bread looks DELICIOUS??

Extra Credit

Honestly, this person deserves an A for learning Chinese alone.

Twins: Nerd Edition

Listen guys, I'm not saying that I would never do this, I'm just saying that it's ADORABLE. And that my mom is a twin, and since it skips generations, I could possibly have twins in the future. Jus' sayin.
