science nerd.

yes, i am. and when i found out yesterday that they might be giants is coming out with another (who knew they had any?!) kid's cd/dvd called here comes science, i knew i had to have it. not only do i just love science. and music. and sciencey musicians who also make kidlet music. BUT - it reminds me of one of my all time favorite books, science verse. observe:


















and equally as good as some of the titles in science verse - "amoeba" and "mary had a little worm" - are on the here comes science cd - "meet the elements", "electric car" and "roy g. biv". did i mention that I'm excited??

bah!

had to tape up my phone due to false message indicator lights. how did that come on if no one called me, and i have no messages?! more importantly, how do i turn it off??

my new favorite picture.

can you imagine what it would be like if ben, hurley and richard really were just chillin' together?

for suliet fans.

here's a spoiler for all of you weirdos who care about juliet. just a nice service i'll provide for those few of you who actually like this shady, shady chick.

i need a vacation.

the austrian accent is implied.

at least i don't look as bad as this though...

now might need an iPhone...

due to this new app. more importantly though, can it tell me if i'll like the rabbi, the service, the songs, the people, the area, the classes.... and where is the nearest and yummiest kosher restaurant??

sometimes, fashion posts are for the boys.

i'm a late bloomer to the j crew land. i used to think their pants were too boxy for me and therefore never shopped there. but a recent trip taught me otherwise, and i am now in love with their skirts and fancy tshirts (my new fav across the board).

so, i was walking by ex-co-workers mailbox today and saw the new j crew catalog. finders keepers! as i was flipping through, i noticed a picture of the moon is down. the pic looked exactly like what you see here, all vintagey and old. um, what? the line next to the picture said "shop our vintage book collection at the Men's Shop in Soho". so - now j crew is telling me how to further accessorize my preppy/hipster lifestyle with old books? that does work well with my already-beat-up leather messenger bag... ok, i'll bite. after some research i found this post about the new soho store, with a very cool slideshow. i lourrrrve the vintage cufflinks they show, as well as the general old-timey vibe of the store. have any of you lovely men been out to the new j crew manland? is it extra cool? or just regular j crew in disguise?

oopdaytz.

thanks to e, for pointing me in the direction of this. really really love hurley's mr. cluck's promo...

put on your dharma jumpsuits.

oh. man. the 2009 comic con is behind us. sadly, i was not there, but did follow some of the excitement on twitter. (more or less nerdy? discuss.) here is an article to get you going with lost scoops and insights. more to follow as i comb through.

most important recap from that article?
"In response to a fan question, the producers said that the mysterious Jacob has never assumed the form of anyone else, such as Claire."

revised office.

pardon my absence. it's tough work when you're the boss!

while i wasn't layin' down the law, i was redecorating my little space (or "cube plus" as rabbi a calls it). got rid of a bookshelf for extra space, found a printer and third lamp... it's quite the cozy spot.

i also stole this quite-awesome poster from the production floor. hopefully they do not miss it. it's pretty apropos to have my office shoe factory right under a "the devil wears prada" poster....

so excited!

as you may or may not know, i will be off to alaska in august for a cruise with the landis fam. my coworker told me about an interesting development, and asked me to look out for it in alaska:

goo blobs!

that's right. there are "goo blobs" floating around alaska. the odorous substance has been described as "gooey", "gunky" and "hairy". hairy AND gooey?! wow. maybe it's flubber? anyhow, i will be sure to look out for said blobs, and will take pics for all to see on my return.

uh oh....

i don't like this, sam i am. apparently my irrational fears of the airport baggage handlers going through stuff may really be true. the police at jfk sent some fake luggage through, and they witnessed baggage handlers stealing laptops and cell phones! now, i'm not sure who doesn't travel with their cell phone on their person but STILL. and i'm traveling this weekend! all the more reason to pack light and carry on..... (which, in my almost-25-years, i have still not figured out how to do.)

you're awesome.

whether you're psyching yourself up for a raise, or just need a boost, this is for you.

what up me!

e: you're famous
me: i am???
e: you're one step ahead of the approval matrix

does this look familiar to you? looks like nymag thought it was cool too, and put it in their approval matrix for this week. yea, i'm awesome.

put that away.

does this make anyone else want to stab their eyes out? (if so, sorry for ruining your day. i can't help but share...)
