Oh My! Color me happy, what I wouldn't give to be a kid again. This company has spent the last 10 years inventing a way to incorporate bright beautiful colors into bubbles! They apparenlty don't stain, they're non-toxic, and are available in spring 2007 YAY! Guys get it? Colored bubbles! What color do you want? Watch the video.
A coworker of mine is helping a friend with her Jewelry business. She sent me the link to the the site. The jewelry is so unique. The young lady who makes these beautiful pieces uses vintage Russian toys, Chinese toys and other random objects she has collected. Check out her collections.
Unfortunately I have something sad to talk about. My Friend Donna, whom I know best as Killagrrl had a brain aneurysm on New Years Day while visiting friends in San Francisco. She is currently in SF General hospital...Still in a coma. As of yet we do not know the extent of damage to Killas brain. What we do know is that Killa has a rare disease called Moyamoya, which caused the aneurysm, she's had it for some time now but didn't know. On New Years Eve and into the next day Killa was dancing and having a great time until she started complaining of having a headache and her friends noticed that she was no longer dancing, which is out of character for Killa. So her friends luckily had the sense to drive her to the emergency room. She got there just in time. Had they not left when they did Killa probably wouldn't have made it. Killa, as I said is currently in a coma, and not projected to wake up for at least a few more weaks.
Killa's family live here in New York and don't really have the money to stay with her as much as they'd like to. So the good people of the Burningman community, through which I met Killa, have come together and created a website. We're trying to come up with some ways to raise money to help get her family back by her side. Please take a look, you can read about Killa, read more about Moyamoya see some pictures of her making life a party. Killa is a really special person and if you have met her you know, it goes without saying. Anyway take a look.
I will keep the link in the side bar so that it doesn't get buried in the blog.
**Update: I tried #7 on the first list on my way down to lunch, the door only opened once and I was alone.. but it was still fun.**

It is so obvious that he's reading a speech that someone smarter wrote for him, he looks as if he is watching a tennis match in slow motion. Also how many speech lessons have you had to take Mister "Put food on your families". He is also speaking slower than I've ever seen him speak... Losing the support of the people Mister President? Speaking better is not going to help that, we've seen 6 years of your dumbness.. And its clear that you need to withdrawl NOT increase.. lets watch the rest of your supporters drop off like dead flies when they are sickened by the senslessness of this war and thier friends and family die or lose someone in this ridiculous war.
This speech was not consistent with any of the other speeches you gave convincing the American public that we needed to declare war on Iraq.
Synonym of the day: President/Failure
Sorry for the rant.

'Pluto-ed'
According to Hometown Tales, and I agree, see below:
Examples of usage:
"Since you suck as Team Captain, you have been pluto-ed to Team Gopher"
Word its replacing:
'Demoted' "George Bush was demoted from President to White House Janitor, after he accidentally ripped one while meeting with The Board of Directors to the Amarican Oil Overlords Corperation"
"TWO MEN STRUCK BY SUBWAY TRAIN"
So turns out that not two stops away from my stop on 1 train waaaaay up yonder in Harlem, two men were struck by a train. At first your like "Dear Lord thats awful!" and... well its not as bad as it sounds I mean, well its bad just not that bad. Turns out that a young man 18 years of age had a seizure and fell onto the tracks, so another man hopped down to try to save him, but didn't have enough time to get him off the tracks, so he laid on top of the seizure victim to protect him while the train sped over the two. Miraculously they lived!
Who says New Yorkers are mean natured?
So the man(hero) who jumped onto the tracks to save the kid is a Vietnam vet and said "I think I did the right thing," then he said. "And it ain't about being a hero, it's just being able to be here and help the next person.". This is an amazing New York story. The kind I like. The kind I want to hear more of.. so go out there and put your ass on the line to save someones life! Go on.. Go! (and not just you New Yorkers, and not just you Vietnam vets)
Oh and make sure someone sees you do it so they can tell me about it.
