Troubled Water

Some people say that this is a video taken in the dining hall of a cruise ship during mad rough seas, and some people say that it is a VISUAL METAPHOR FOR LIFE! Mmmkay? Because in life, as you may know, sometimes we are tossed around by forces beyond our control. One second we are holding onto an overturned cash register, and the next thing we know, we and the register both are flying across the room, and uh oh, look out, here comes ALL THE CHAIRS!
Eventually, one hopes, the skies clear and the ship of LIFE rights itself, and we cruise through crystal blue waters, the sun beating down on our shoulders, and we barely even remember the part where the overweight security guard was holding onto a support beam and screaming at people to return to their rooms. Of course, that is even more metaphorical, since we don’t have a video of a cruise ship on calm waters.
We only have a video of a cruise ship on rough waters. But I am pretty sure that in LIFE as in CRUISE SHIPS, there are both. Plus that in life, as well as in cruise ships, troubled water is best navigated from behind the bar!

Go Go Jo

I’m not sure what attracted me to Rick first, whether it was the complete lack of self-awareness, the embodiment of a grotesque 1970s-era sexuality, or the damp slick of death that slid from his pores, but I am definitely very attracted to him, love him, have sex with him, want to marry him, share all my secrets with him, and just wish I could live inside him forever.”

Music To Everybodys Ears

The internet radio station Pandora.com probably knows me better then anyone else. How else could you explain the infinite wisdom Pandora showed when it introduced me to the musical revelation of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole! His voice is like a cool Hawiian breeze in my ears!! Attention Dolly Parton, Liza, RuPaul and Martha Wash, you all are bout to have some new company on my wall of musical muses.
Your welcome!

Cant Touch Me

I'm no invention expert but I suspect this was invented by some sad person who was floating on a pool noodle one day and thought, "You know, if I put Mickey Mouse hands at the end of this thing, I'd always have hugs. Well this is horriable, what if your Valentine does not fit in the hug arms?! Do not send me one. I do not like being touched. Even by foam gloved hands.

Animation Station

Suzie Templeton is a mad awesome animator who made a Peter and the Wolf short film that won an Oscar. No offense to the movie Coraline, but this is how sweet animation is supposed to look.

Cats Will Be Cats

"They start with a little bit of a terror look, and when they realize they can do it they become very proud of themselves."- that's what she said.
I have mixed opinions behind this. I tell you what, I am not beyond making an animal uncomfortable for the greater good of ultimate 2THEMAX cuteness (that's what pet costumes are all about) but does this cat water torture seem to go too far? Those cats look a little miserable and unlike dogs they don't wanna recreationally swim around the pool- these poor cats head right for the dry land. HELLO why is she recommending clipping their nails- because your cat will CUT you in an effort to heep his fanny OUT of the water. And they look pissed, not proud to me.
But then on the other hand- they look so cute wet!!!
