friday fun, #8
04 years ago
Yay! It’s that time again. You know you love these. They make you smile (and darlene, if you made a glitter banner, I may have to … well…I dunno…do something!) I don’t know how this happened but this week is mostly about video programming. Huh.
the race
ICTV16 (Ithaca College Television) has been airing a weekly television show called “The Race” that is similar to “The Amazing Race, only taking place only in New York. Can’t get enough reality? This is for you.
plant porn
No, I’m not talking about Robert Plant (eeewww…I don’t even want that visual). Oops. Did I just date myself? Reuter’s explains artist Jonathan Keats (ok, that is just a cool name…really) and his plant porn. You’re curious now, aren’t you? Here’s a teaser (heh).
sober companion
Just can’t stay away from the uppers, downers, booze, and whatever else ails you? You may need a sober companion. When a therapist, spa, and AA meeting just aren’t enough, a sober companion can cater to your 24/7 needs. (If it’s good enough for Owen Wilson, then who am I to judge?)
open-toed
I’m training for a 1/2 marathon that takes place in Phoenix in January. This is difficult — not because of the walking (because I’m not running but am walking it). It’s difficult because I don’t really like closed shoes. Given a choice, my shoes will always be open-toed or open-heeled. I feel like my feet are in bondage when they are enclosed in shoes (no, I don’t know what foot bondage is like, but that’s what I imagine). So, imagine my delight when I find Bite Running’s Xtension 3. It’s a walk made in heaven.
your reads?
There are lots of social networks out there — and more than a few that deal with what you are reading. Goodreads is a nice one to look into. Share and recommend what you are reading.
here we go again
A while back I tweeted about the quarter-life crisis. Now, the creators of “My So-Called Life,” “Legends of the Fall,” and “Blood Diamond” have created an online television series called…wait…wait…yep, you guessed it, “Quarterlife.” Girl is told to write what she feels (in her blog) and it causes problems. Uhhhh…hmmm…blogs are public. Your friends will see it. What part of the Internet doesn’t she understand?
That’s it for this week. Have a good one!

friday fun, #7
04 years ago
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of my Friday Fun posts (ok, nine months, actually) so it’s a good time to have some fun again.
facial yoga
Buzz Feed is saying that the latest exercise craze is facial yoga. Is this like Kegels for the face? Hmmmm….
superhero
Superman and Spiderman have nothing on me. I’m a superhero three times over: granola girl, geek girl, and ginger greenbacks. Come on. You know you want to be a superhero, too. xmpie has made it as simple as filling in a form (who knew it could be so easy???).
sexual relationship database
Just what we all want: everyone to know who we’ve been with intimately. Because, you know, this is everyone’s business, isn’t it? Oh, yeah…it requires that people fill it in themselves. But…what if someone says they slept with Paris Hilton and they really didn’t? Hmmm…doesn’t seem all that reliable to me.
you, me, and a forest of trees
This one has been around for a long time but I still find it interesting. Ok, really, I just love that I am associated with the hornbeam tree. What tree are you?
sparkling world
Glitter lotions, powders, makeup, glue…what’s next? Oh, yeah…glitter images for your web pages. This reminds me of the early days of web development when we were all trying to make something we thought was cool but was really not good design. It’s fun and silly but I wouldn’t be caught with this on a page of mine.
Have a good weekend, y’all!
