Ladies, No Hat Pins in Fight Club

I found out today there is only a one week break between summer school and fall semester. (I believe administration's solution to the budget crisis is just to kill us off slowly by depleting our souls through overwork!) I could have looked at the calendar before now, but I was trying to keep the time at which I would have to begin denying my preparation for fall semester at bay as long as possible.

But, there is good internet ju-ju-juice to keep us going. Ladies, welcome to fight club.

I'm enjoying these creative minds at <http://www.youtube.com/user/TwoTurntablesNMic> who cooked this up. How about you?

Enjoy the Funny Peoples

Sometimes I feel so terribly uninspired by stuff on the web, but not today. I’ve seen some laugh-out-loud funny stuff that affirms my belief that smart people are doing interesting things.
……………….
I just stumbled on Hark! A Vagrant, the brain child of Kate Beaton, a genius cartoonist with a history degree and wit to spare. Her cartoons make me swoon with giddy jealousy. Jane Austen and monster trucks. Ha!

Her merchandise, like these t-shirts, is down right brilliant. Even though I don’t wear graphic tees I’ve almost convinced myself I need a full set.
 

She even has a book, aptly titled Never Learn Anything from History. Been there, done that.

……………….
New age Chuck says  you need a set of Crystal Brass Knuckles. The tag line Debra Baxter added kills me:  “I am going to realign your chakras motherf*****.” These would certainly do that and more.

 ……………….
Hyperbole and a Half never fails to amuse. I enjoyed her recent account of giving her dog an intelligence test to determine whether or not she was retarded. I identified and saw many looks she drew of her dog that looked very similar to my own below average mutt.

Although I fall in on the cake side of this debate, I appreciate the need to legitimize the argument in Cake Versus Pie: A Scientific Approach.

Her merchandise is nifty too. I think this procrastination cycle poster would make a great magnetic board. I’d change out the “drawing dinosaurs” part with “cleaning my desk” or “checking facebook” and it’d be my own version. Oh, and I only get about 65% of what I need to get done done, so I’d need another shame box.

First Handmade. Seriously Funny.

My little fingers are sewing. My to-do list is growing. I slept last night in a state of alert. Since no wild beasts were bound to attack, the adrenaline was wasted on me. Busy, busy.

My second muslin of my first handmade product is complete. Here's the sneak peak.

  



















Now I need to make the pattern and pick out fabrics for the first batch. There will be a give-a-way on A Beautiful Mess this Saturday of one of these items. Stay tuned for more details. There is also a gift with purchase item being offered this weekend in my shop via the Beautiful Mess site so be sure to visit on Saturday.

I don't stay up late enough to watch the late-late hosts, but I find Craig and Jimmy seriously funny. Check this one out. Slow Jam with Brian Williams.
