THIS MAKES ME HAPPY

I love watching this video. It's so relaxing. And it's filmed in my favorite city.

So Many Levels of Weird

I am completely ADDICTED to the television show Oddites on the Science Channel.  It fosters my appreciation for the strange and unusual.  Strange things, strange people, strange phenomenon.  Love it all.

Would I want these things in my house? No Way-- freaks me out, but it's intriguing to look at none the less.

Reminds me of the time Marc, my Sister Jen, and I were wrapping Christmas presents and having a conversation about "Levels of Weirdness".  What is weird to you, may not be weird to me.  Both of us are weird to Marc.  And Marc is really weird to Jen.  It was pretty hilarious.

Well this show definitely displays several levels of oddness.  You see someone walk in the shop and think that they are strange, but then that person thinks the next person is strange...and so on.  It just doesn't stop-- keeps getting weirder.  That's what makes it fabulous.  I highly recommend it.

MONDAY LOVE

2 THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY...

• my most favorite candy... this one was stolen from em jay's easter basket. yum!
• polka dot nails.  I used leotard optional from the spehora by opi-- urban ballerina collection and konad nail art pen in white for the dots.

we went to the hawaii spring food & new product show the other week, and I was sold on the nail art stamps and pens after the sales girl did emily's nails.  thought I'd make use of them.
