Rainy and grey today. This is perfect.

I KNEW IT!

I was wondering if I was the only one. Alyssa Rosenberg, where have you been all my life? Never mind, now I know where you are - on my RSS forever.

A couple of folks told me to get over the racist Transformers. A link to Alyssa's article has been sent to them. They'll thank me later.

Stupid Lottery.

Annual Marimekko Sale is on like Donkey Kong, and I am poor as a pancake. (Shout to you, Ed!) I'm going to give up lotto and try nickel slots. Here's the link to the sale site, and here are some of my favorites:

Matt Taibbi has always been a favorite.

And I quote:
"[Goldman Sachs] is a great vampire squid [picture that! Sceery!]wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."

Yowza. Owie! Anyway, the article in Rolling Stone is pretty interesting and worth a read.

These are ads I love.

Seen on the photographer Fubiz
You've got to see other work by the photographer, too. Amazing.

I never thought being smart wasn't cool -- that's not nerd, that's word.

Oh, Technorati. Is this thing on?

Was there a RHNJ reunion show?

How did I not know this? I am devastated. I will console myself with cheese.

This is quite clever, I think:

Don't call it a comeback.
Or, okay, you could. Weekend in OH, then training on Monday... I'm beat. AND, parents coming to visit this Saturday. It'll be good when they get here, but until then, I'm freaking out about cleaning, and finishing master knitter certification before the end of the month. That's right, I said it. Master Knitter. I am becoming the person I used to make fun of.

I would like a real life version of this, please:

Sad for Nadal.

And me, since I had plans to make Wimbledon this year. I do like Andy Murray, too, I guess.

Excellent Read.

I 100% believe that, as they say at Paper Source, one should do something creative everyday. Making cookies, okay. Making excuses doesn't count.

Smirnoff Ice? Come on.
It was hot. You threw down some plastic and waited for the sprinklers to come on, you were there, whatever. If it was so hot, though, why did you all wear your hoodies to the partay?

Song Stuck In My Head.

I usually hate it when that happens, but sometimes I think they get there for a reason.

Everybody's glad

Because our silent fear and dread is gone

Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully

Just look about

You owe it to yourself to check it out

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Can't you feel a brand new day?

Everybody be glad

Because the sun is shining just for us

Everybody wake up

Into the morning into happiness

Um-hmm!

Damned Weekend.

So much to do, so little time. I had planned to spend some time cleaning my disgusting apartment and whatnot, but then, these delightful women put this photo on their blog today:

Now, I'll have to spend some time plotting out how to do the age-old ripple crochet afghan with all them colors!

My other weekend project was supposed to be hauling out this book:

Summer seems to have finally come to Chicago, and I need some dresses and skirts. Macy's was out of size giganticonormous, so I thought I'd whip up a few. What to do? What to do? If I haul out the sewing machine tonight, the weekend'll for sure be spent getting halfway through 8,000 projects. Maybe I should just take the time to plan out my projects so there's not 8,000 going at once. Oh, and clean my apartment.

I have been sick.

Hives, to be exact. And all kinds of allergies. Feeling better now, but that's despite the nasty weather and my confusion at work. This always cheers me up:

Sister, I'm Doing It For Myself.

I got inspired to act by some cool ladies this week.

First, Laurie wrote: It sure is hard to break that life-on-layaway habit.

Right on. See her writing here. It's the post from May 27th.

Then, this morning, just after I got off the phone talking about the very same thing with a colleague, I read this chica, who always gets it right.

I have some work to do this weekend.
