busy as a bee

These past 2 weeks sure have been busy for my boss, coworker and I. My boss introduced 23 new bills this year, some of which are stirring up some strong reactions from people all across Nebraska. The phone doesn't stop ringing so its hard for me to find new things and remember to post them.

But here's something that suggests our new president may have worn a bulletproof suit at the inauguration.

smiles

It's weird how a random smile from someone can just make you tingle.

whopper sacrifice

I just found out about this awesome new campaign from Burger King. Go to this site and install their application for facebook and defriend 10 people and you get a free whopper! Most of you may be thinking "who cares, no one knows if you delete a friend on facebook" but that's not the case this time. Burger king's app will notify the people you delete. I, of course, would love to participate and get a free sandwich but I don't eat fast food and don't eat meat so it kinda sucks on the whole not getting free stuff side, but its a totally funny and modern way to utilize facebook.

first friday redux

So I hear that our local gallery above the bar is having last weeks first friday art walk again this week. Fun times await! So here is a fun friday picture I got from Copenhagen Cycle Chic.

Next, we have a scientifically created version of what might be the most annoying song ever from the 90's.

and also the most wanted song ever.

That's it for now for today's findings.

old news

*I just found more pictures from the Bergdorf Goodman window display from this fall/winter in NYC. Check them out!


*NYC secret smoking lounges? Yes! I wish any Lincoln bar would dare to defy the law.

*"If absinthe were a band, it would be Interpol, third-hand piffle masquerading as transgressive pop culture. If absinthe were sneakers, it would be a pair of laceless Chuck Taylors designed by John Varvatos for Converse. If it were facial hair, it would be the soul patch. If absinthe were a finish on kitchen and bath fixtures, it would be brushed nickel". - NY Times

fail

I've spent all day, in between work stuff, looking at fail blogs. Fail blogs are basically like Letterman's 'home town news' or whatever its called, but way better. Here are some randomly awesome fails:

awesome bag!

German condom makers make a sexy bag. I want to go buy German condoms now.

coked up bees like to party more than non-coked bees.

the Montauk Monster

not sure what this is, but i can't stop looking at it.

BACK!

I'm back after a really fun and long summer and fall and beginning to winter. May may have been the last time i posted and that was like 7 months ago. oh well. cuz now i got a camera to take more than just pics of me at my computer and i'm consistently going to work everyday and consistently getting bored at work everyday, so i'll entertain myself with this old thing.




to start off, check out this post of a foreign photo editorial which shows 'the new dandy'. from modeman.

also today as i was doing my blog rounds i found this awesome vogue paris article that takes a 20-year-old model and transforms her age from 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, to 60-years-old using only 'natural' techniques. meaning no photoshop or whatever, just hair, makeup, light and angle tricks.
from gems sty.

still nothing

this is me writing just to write. i went to danny's downtown deli for lunch. i was watching a history channel show about tobacco while i ate but couldnt really hear a thing eventhough no one was in the shop but me for awhile...that it until former co-worker and former ex-type-thing came in and made my remaining few bites awkward, but on the up side im pretty sure i made their first few bites just as weird. theres nothing like random bits of your past sweeping in and out of your life for good or for whatever they are.

...now i guess its time for me to continue to scour ebay for that perfect half lined summer blazer. not that i ever find or get what i really want.



your daily dose
i hope its enough.

nothing much

the daily dose of narcissism by me.

p.s. for all none of you that dont read my blog and live in my town, there is a really awesome deal every tuesday at randy's (48th and holderage). $2.99 for a 6-8 oz. fresh handmade hamburger and fries served all day long. the place and staff sucks but the burger is worth it.

clothes of the day

i am wearing my idol buttons today.

the guy on the left is ryan 'the don' adams. the couple on the right are pete doherty and kate moss. all three of them help me through bad nights and shit.


how do you like the office flowers? i got the roses for my co-workers b-day. i hope she likd them.

The office

here is me making a rare appearance late in the week at the office.

these piles and files of paper are going to take me up to 9 months to file this summer. a few months ago it would take me a day to do this much but its interim and i dont care.

this is what our office looks like when you walk by normally...michael not in his desk.
