this lady totally made my morning the other day. it was dreary & rainy and here she was...a vision of sunshine on the subway. i was most impressed that she had matched the tones of yellow exactly.

a fellow commuter was chatting her up, so i eavesdropped. she's an artist (not surprisingly) and is currently an assistant working in the gallery/studio of a famous artist. she can never reveal who it is, for fear of losing her job...the world must think the famous artist produces his own work. wouldn't even give a hint.

it was such an interesting conversation that i stayed on one extra stop just to listen in!

separated at birth?

i've been noticing a lot of people lately, wherein i think, "that reminds me of..."

first up, this sponsored story was served to me on facebook as part of one of their case studies. this dude reminded me of phil collen of def leppard fame.

separated at birth? (part deux)

bikram choudhury, of sweat-box yoga fame...and van morrison.

separated at birth? (part trois)

as a dragon, i'm super excited for this (chinese) new year.

that hansel - he's so hot right now

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:26:00 +0000

incidentally, this year of the dragon brings the end of the "year of mugatu," when everyone - i mean everyone - was taking crazy pills. thankfully, it's now the "year of hansel," which should prove to be more relaxed. and hot.

but it's my birthday

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:24:00 +0000

while it's fun to shout "scaramouche! scaramouche!," it's probably not a good idea. duly noted.

truth in tweets

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:14:00 +0000

i can't deny either of these statements...

bulletin board

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:10:00 +0000

this seems like a very niche item (interest+size) to try to sell on the building bulletin board, no?

funny cuz it's true?

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:24:00 +0000

there's no crying in media...

every day i'm shuffling

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:22:00 +0000

sweet, sweet moves.

who approved this? (tea time edition)

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:19:00 +0000

grody to the max! who approved this and more importantly, who wants panda poo tea? ew.

i don't know where you can get one of these sweatshirts, but it is a-mazing.

fanciest crafternoons ever

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:19:00 +0000

macaroni jewelry is a staple crafternoon growing up. alas, these are dolce & gabbana!

not sure how much the catwalk creations cost, but i'm sure you can craft your own for a fraction of the price. in fact, instructions can be found here.

who knew?

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:13:00 +0000

apparently, marshmallows are the new cupcake. who knew? that said, i'm down - delish.

word of the day

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:10:00 +0000

i forget the context in which i read this, but imbroglio is definitely the word of the day. need to try to work that into a conversation this week. "that is one imbroglio of a media plan..."

funny?

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 05:23:00 +0000

i suppose this $1 gag gift would be funny...if anyone used white out anymore. i'd hate to be that marketing department...oops.

incidentally...

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 05:22:00 +0000

while googling "white out liquid paper," i came across the brand site...wow, has it been redesigned. unrecognizable from the black & white of yore! who knew?

question

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 05:21:00 +0000

now, why would facebook think i should get and ad for an upstate new york pet bird club?

hmm...

good advice

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 04:43:00 +0000

even though this is no longer the year of fitness, this is good advice nevetheless. holidays over, it's time to get moving again!

2012: the year of...

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:50:00 +0000

2011's year of fitness was a success! a 5k run, a treadmill that did not turn into a clothes rack and a few lbs. shed - so much activity has tuckered me out.

the verdict is in and 2012 is the year of sleep! trying to get myself to bed at a reasonable hour (i.e., not 3am) and not oversleeping. wish me luck!

ewwww

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:36:00 +0000

grody to the (pepsi) max!

who knew?

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:33:00 +0000

...that you could pick up a parakeet or hamster for 99 cents? bargain.

bonus: who knew there were more than one variety of hamster?

who knew? (part deux)

noreply@blogger.com (bizarro gnome) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:30:00 +0000

that you could pick up a pregnancy test at the 99c store?! what are the odds this is accurate?
