Oktapodi

I never knew that octopuses could be so cute, or so ingenious. I love the music too.

The Unmentionables

Just how I like my monsters. Pick a card, any card. (via)

The Unmentionables

I’d probably never use them for the sake of civility, but just knowing that I can whip out a card when faced with obnoxiousness would make me feel wonderfully omnipotent.

If a kind person from the USA is reading this and planning to purchase a set, please get an extra one for me, and I’ll reimburse you for it, as the company’s international shipping prices are way too expensive for a single pack. You’d make a naughty Brit blogger very happy.

You Are Helvetica


Your life is ultra modern and ultra streamlined.
You don’t get bogged down in details or decoration.

You like to think that you’re the epitome of style and taste.
People either totally get you - or they think you’re boring and generic.

I should probably watch the Helvetica movie at some point, but this one about a font conference is a lot of fun:

Earlier today I was looking for a pic from the movie Casablanca for my previous post, and saw the following dress in the image search.

Intrigued, I clicked on it and explored the site, which was a showcase of wedding dresses by Stephanie Allin. Some of the dresses are so alluring that they almost make me want to get married (or at least have a wedding night).

I also like that several of the dresses have women’s names, so for £1500+ I could become Celeste or Louisa, Jacqueline or Gina, Nina or Siena, or even Havana.

Or if your tastes are more refined and you can travel to the Temple Restaurant & Bar in Minneapolis, why not try eating sushi off a naked person?

Levit - Guy Robot

Levit is a robot who values style as much as functionality. As a switchboard operator working the metro patch panel, Levit sees first hand the boom in text messaging. He wonders whether the art of the hand-written letter will be lost forever.
