"bunny show jumping"

my little brother told me to look this up, which might be the most random aspect of it. i wish i could like, train bane to jump little stadium courses. i used to actually make my cats do stuff like this in hallways. i was a weird kid. really.


its worth youtubing for more, like for when they refuse and run-out.

life, lemons

i am incredibly disappointed in myself, all over me not being able to get over things in the past. i got confused, but now things are all too clear. i made a gigantic mistake, over my own stupidity.

in other news, i saw a buddha's hand lemon at whole foods once and was curiously disturbed. i actually recently looked into them a little further and see that they are used for things like drinks. they are gross and creepy looking. i hope to acquire some.



that's it. sick update. fml.

bahia honda

so i secured a week off between the end of my internship and the start of classes, and had decided i wanted to plan a trip with pat to one of my family's condos in florida, the one i rent out for them. i need to go down and check it out and make sure everything is in working order in general anyway, and theres no renters now, so it actually has a useful purpose. in addition, i've really wanted to go back to bahia honda state park. i went once before on the way down to key west, but we didnt stay too long since we'd planned key west for the day. i think its only about 40 miles south of the condo, about mid-way to key west. the water is gorgeous and the beach is incredible white sand. and there is an old out of use bridge that i think you can walk out on (though things like that unnerve me, which i think makes me more curious), which we didnt have a chance to do. i really hope i can work out some dates to go, i really want something to end my summer nicely with.






ughhh i really hope we can manage to go.

BUY ME THESE TETRIS ICE CUBES.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

myspace moron

i would just like to mention that i love the internet. i love it. the story behind this, the cardinal's fans who travelled to philly to see the team play and got run over by disgusting south philly trash, is incredibly depressing, but this myspace just takes the whole thing to whole other level. and it is still up, not private, as of now: http://www.myspace.com/JoE_BoNeS.
some of the photo captions, as quoted in the article, have been removed, along with some photos.
(in the following image, please focus on TRu PaRty ANiMaLs.)


CAPTION: GEtt ON Mi LEVel!!!!..

the way they quote his myspace in the article is exact and copy pasted, making the article even more ridiculous to read. what is even more incredible is that this myspace can potentially work against him in court.

Genovese lists his occupation as "JuSt B DAt Boii!!!..." but goes on to list his income as $250,000 or more. In a separate section in which people typically write the companies they work for or are associated with, Genovese writes: "Chronic Dealer, Philadelphia, Pa US, HusLa, weed, dope, crack, heroin, meth., and wAT EVa U FIEn for!"

the article also includes how the parents think police are overreacting, and that he just ran a red light and got into a car accident. i can not even begin to understand how the parents can think this is even relatively ok.
some other highlights:

He also posted a picture of a sign, seen in many store windows throughout the city, that reads: "I proudly support the Philadelphia Police"
In the caption to that photo, Genovese writes that "i putt a dutch infront of the piggs posterr . . . "
A dutch, according to the Urban Dictionary, is a cigar wrapper that is typically used for rolling marijuana.

One photo, which appears to be taken from the driver's seat of his vehicle, shows the speedometer clocking in at 105 mph.
The caption under the photo reads: aLiL UnDer 120 OnPAcKeR aVE!!..yea digg????"
In other photos, he admits to "BObBiN ND WeEzzZiN" in and out of traffic and having a "NEeD 4 SPeEd????"

Genovese brags about how sexy he looks when he's high, and has posted pictures of himself smoking out of a bong.
"LOok AT ALL DATT WEeD!!!!" he wrote under one photo. "ahaha brought a POUNd just 2go 2pROM!!!!!!"

Some of his online friends seem to be just as oblivious to the severity of the charges facing him. One friend wrote that he was "never gettin aride" from Genovese again, while another said he needed to know how Genovese got his mugshot because he's been trying to get his hands on his own mugshot photo for a while.

On Tuesday, right before Genovese turned himself in to face vehicular homicide charges, the tone of his online postings changed drastically.
"im just waitin 4 demm 2 kum gett mee," he wrote to one friend. "i love youu u no i didnt want it 2 go this way godd just needed to teach me the ways of life the hard way to set me straight."

According to one law enforcement source, Genovese was nowhere near as tough as he appears on his MySpace page when he turned himself in with his lawyer and family on Tuesday afternoon to AID.
The teen looked "pale-faced and kept throwing up," the source said. The source said that Genovese didn't say much, except that he was distraught over the incident.

temp tattz

i got a call from fox earlier asking if we had a medical ethicist here to talk to them on the news about a doctor putting a 'temporary tattoo' on a patient and had NO idea what the reporter was talking about (which made me/my office look really bad since it was in the inquirer this morning, which i, in fact, carried into the office.)

anyway. i looked into it, and now that i do know what it is, this is weird as hell and i wish there was a picture. its a virtua orthopedic surgeon, who apparently luvs putting temp tattz on people. i find this hilarious. however, this lady is filing a lawsuit. apparently, she is nottt a fan of temporary tattoos.

Article: Surgeon sued for giving anesthetized patient temporary tattoo.

personally, i think it would rule to wake up with a sick tatt after surgery. but, what goes a little too far, is where it was...back surgery, and it sounds like the tattoo was probably on her hip. so weird.

waffle house wedding

oh my dear god, this is ridiculous.
VIEW AN IMAGE SLIDESHOW HERE


DACULA, GEORGIA - As the famous twang of Hank Williams Jr. blasted from an SUV stereo Friday afternoon, about 30 folks socialized, sipped soda and puffed on cigarettes.
No, this wasn't a Fourth of July backyard barbecue. It was the run-up to a wedding.
In a Waffle House parking lot.
The lucky couple, George "Bubba" Mathis and Pamela Christian - both 23 and employees at the Dacula diner located at the Ga. Highway 316/U.S. Highway 29 interchange - wouldn't have it any other way.
"I don't know, it's something different," Mathis said while fixing his tie prior to the ceremony.
For years, the couple tried to marry on their Independence Day anniversary. But the bride was always scheduled to work. Instead of waiting any longer - she got the day off at the last minute; Mathis had to report for the morning shift - the couple of nine years decided to seal the deal at work...


really, please, go look at the article and image slideshow. there are pictures like, of the rings stuck into waffles, and amazing wedding attendees.

oops

i am basically broke. well, far beyond broke. but its really annoying because i have...no clothes. i have a major issue with buying sandals because i cant wear thong flip flops no matter how hard i try, and i really, really, really hate this. anywayz, i cant seem to control my spending, so here are some fun things i am waiting for in the mailz:


michael michael kors penelope platform sandals. taryn has these in metallic gold and they are theeee most comfortable heels ever.


jeffrey campbell top fringe sandals.


dv dolce vita daisy sandal


strapless mini dress by tara subkoff for bebe
butttt i dont know how the sizing will run for this so it may not work out.

oh and this cutie just came:

garmin nuvi 260W

and then some other little things, like another pair of my favorite summer shorts. i srsly suck and need to chill with the credit card spending.

oh and i might buy this badass later:

late 70's gibson grabber. obviously not for myself.

oh and also THIS is happening later and i am stoked obviously:

that is all.

white tiger

ok so this crazy terrifying white tiger gets a post about him, even though this is like old and has been on the interwebz for awhile, i came across the images again and he is so terrifying that it is HILARIOUS. btw, his name is Odin, he's 5 years old, and he lives in a six flags in vallejo, california, and he does this for crowds of people and i am SO JELLLLYBEANNN of them.

balloon dog

so when i went up to go to bamboozle with pat, we woke up that morning and decided that we didnt really want to feel like killing ourselves all day. so instead, i drove to nyc, and we went to the Met. this was a MUCH better choice. one thing that particularly stuck with me was their jeff koons on the roof exhibit - and how impressive it was to see. (i also liked that they had a roof martini bar with themed martinis to go with the works, but we didnt drink, unfortunately.)
along the lines of what we saw there, i even like this one of a giant blue diamond a lot actually, and a green diamond; but not as much as the cracked egg.



in a different medium, or actually combination of incredibly interesting mediums, this puppy is insane, made of stainless steel, wood, soil, geotextile fabric, internal irrigation system, live flowering plants.

also his ethereal work is awesome and i really like how food is worked into it (xtreme fat kid), the shape and texture it adds. he has a lot featured on his website, go look! although his kama sutra stuff where he features himself as a subject is a little odd, like a glass made to look like and ice sculpture where he's eating a vagina, you know, stuff like that, nbd.

ice cream

iiii just wanted to post these pictures of kim kardashian in paris because i like them.

and because i am jealous of her/her life/etc.

and because they really make me want gelato.
capogiro plz.

cutie.

i thiiink i'm going to test drive the above tc today, the limited release '08 galactic grey metallic or whatever it is. there were only 2,300 made, that's kewl i suppose. but i am very much considering the black sand pearl, and am general partial to black cars. anyway i'm really excited and i've never gotten to test drive a car myself (as in, i've never been the one physically driving), so that should be interesting. i feel like the weather may get bad though, and that test drives arent really a rain thing. i am pretty much 99% sure i'd like to get the car, i just have to make sure it doesn't drive like a disgusting saturn ion, which ever since having one as a rental has made me fear all cars in its class/range. i don't think it could possibly be that bad, though, i hope it just drives like a nice little toyota. gimme.

goldfishies

awww i saw this on geekologie (article here), poor littles:


look at his face!
also if this is some kind of huge scam like, i dont know, fucking bonzai kittens, then sorry i am dumb.
from the article it was found in:
"In waterfront Qingdao, vendors were selling heart shaped plastic keychains sealed with a live goldfish inside. Since the keychains are completely sealed there is very little air and no way to feed the fish inside.
“The fish would survive just a few hours, and would be lucky to make it from the manufacturers to the point of sale. We are shocked and appalled. It is a gimmick and shows no respect for the animals at all.”
One of the 2008 Olympics mascot HuanHuan was printed on the bag and although it is not an official Olympic item, it just goes to shows a complete lack of respect for all the fish who will die in these keychains."
