This commercial comes on TWICE in every single commercial break during this football game that Lance has been watching.



It both annoys and amuses me. I miss the Snickers commercial with Henry VIII.

This one:


SO. MUCH. FUNNIER.

My cousin contacted me yesterday and said he's currently working on the site for my other cousin's new Italian furiniture store in Beverly Hills. He referred me as a photographer so I went to their showroom this afternoon for a furniture photoshoot. They just opened it up last week so it was still pretty bare; they still need to order a bunch of plants, pillows, furniture, lighting, as well as paint certain walls and fill the fountain with water. Also, my dad's apparently designing a steel window shield with their logo, which is going to be cool. I'll be going back later this week after they've made some of those changes, but I still got a couple of decent shots. I designed the window display for the shot above and the manager really liked it and said she might have to hire me as a designer. She said once all the shots are done, she is looking to get them published in Elle Decor and Vogue Living which would be awesome. Apparently they already have a handful of celebrity clients whose homes are going to be photographed soon. Exciting. It'll definitely be nice if all this works out and I get some exposure. Kudos for my cousin for the referral. :)

This is one for the men out there.

My partner is an ex-Floridian & his socks have apparently been getting a lot more use out of them than they did in the 70-degree winters over there. (Bastard.) He asked me to ask the hive mind:

Where, gentlemen, can one find thick, warm socks, cotton or wool, that come about mid-calf--for not-insane-hiking-socks prices? Inexpensive AND warm is key. Where do you find YOUR socks? I wear stockings, so I'm no help in all of this 'sock' nonsense.

that katzies is amazing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to tear into some of this printen. If you saw my FB status the other day about my craving for gingerbread, you must've been laughing to yourself.

Since you guys have never let me down in the mix-tape suggestion category...

Seeking songs about heresy, blasphemy, people being punished for having dissenting beliefs, and that sort of thing.

Edit: No metal. Too easy! ;)

Selling a not-quite-new-but-not-old-at-all LCD widescreen monitor on CL, but thought someone here may be interested as well.

Can knock off 20 or 30 if a very nice person is willing to come here to get it. Sadly I have no cupcakes to offer, except ice cream ones from Cold Stone. Probably not as good as the infamous cupcakes that get sold all the time, though.

EDIT: Has been claimed! Woohoo!

I should know Hawthorne better after living in the SE for 2 + years but I can't think of a good bar, with cheap(ish) drinks, a good atmosphere, and somewhere to plug my robot in ( my mac's battery sux and I'm not a fan of crawling under tables and over bus tubs to plug it in).

I's trying to sell my cruiser by putting a sign on it and parking it on Hawthorne (also gotta stop at Red Light and sell some clothes)...I'm kinda short on cash if ya can't tell : )

So anyways, if any of you have any ideas I would greatly appreciate it!

I want to go watch the ducks/beavers game next week at a bar. Any suggestions for awesome food & drink that will also have the game on? I'd love to share my excitement with some other rabid fans.

Hey ho, looking for work? Check out the above link. Includes such diversity as a payroll clerk, helpdesker, inside sales, and so much more. Go look.

Shocking. There is too much going on here. Ruff-ridahs, no rabbi, no priest, Democratic shift in the congress. It's confusing and overwhelming.

After a bout of nostalgia this weekend, I decided I need to be alone among a bunch of strangers.

I'm looking for a bar that's dark, generally quiet, perhaps divey, plays blues/jazz, won't look at you strangely if you just want to sit in a corner and read for a few hours, and will leave you the hell alone when you want to be left alone.

Oh. And it has to be relatively safe for a single female to hang out in, though I can put up a pretty intense Don't Fuck With Me vibe when I feel like it.

Mostly it's the lack of knowing where a place might be that plays the blues. There's plenty of dark dive bars in PDX, but the music is the thing. There's something about listening to Muddy or Billie or Nina or Ella or Miles or B.B. someplace other than my own living room that's pretty damned appealing. I'd settle for Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline in a pinch, though.

So, throw 'em at me if you've got 'em. Recommendations, that is. Thanks!
