this is the blog where we talk about the stuff.

So…

I’m Christmas shopping for my sister-in-law, who loves Twilight.  I thought I might get her a fun little happy to go along with her present.  And I wanted to share with you some of the most ridiculous etsy finds based on Twilight.  You’re really gonna love it.  I promise.

Sweet mother of pearl, is this not the most absurd phrase to have over one’s bed?

Ah.  Jacob-scented lotion.  In case you aren’t up on your Twilight, Jacob is the 17 year old boy that turns into a werewolf when he gets mad.  Just what I want to smell like.  A pubescent, angry dog.

Friends, let me remind you of something.  Vamps do not want peace and love.  They want your blood and my blood, and they want to drink it up.

The actor that plays Jacob is…wait for it…17.  So, no, 47 year old mom, it’s not creepy at all that you own this ginormo photo collage of him.  TOTALLY NORMAL.

This Etsy artist will “Cullen-ize” you, meaning she will take your photo and make you look like a vampire.  For people who just can’t stand the reality of not being an actual vampire.

Aaaand, for those of you who must force your weird obsessions onto your children (YOUR INFANT CHILDREN), a onesie.

I, for one, can never have enough Dreamcatcher messenger bags.

Let’s see…do I go with the obsessive stalker who desperately wants to drain the blood from my body…OR…the egomaniacal, self-centered Victorian uptight?

If you have to ask…

My internet friend, Caroline, likes to play a game where she google image searches “Twilight Tattoos,” which is equally entertaining.  Some gems…

Internet: I salute you for the amount of crazy you hold.

It’s a well documented fact that I love the internets in all its glory.  And while I have about 5 drafts of posts I need to finish and actually publish, it might be a while.  We’ve got a lot going on & most of those posts include pictures, which I have yet to figure out how to successfully upload in the godforsaken wordpress mess.  So, I thought I’d go through the starred posts in my Google Reader and share some of the gooey, chocolately internet goodness I’ve discovered in the past couple of weeks.  You’re welcome.

My friend Andy has really been hitting it out of the park with his posts lately.  Check out this cartoon he drew after he had a very interesting conversation with his young daughter.

Did you know that some countries have theme hospitals?  What I know Ruth wouldn’t give to have the twins in a Hello Kitty Maternity Ward.

Sophie Blackall is a New York artist that takes the Missed Connections ads from craigslist and renders them into really beautiful works of art.  She also sells them on her etsy store.

I loved this post from mental floss on the Top Ten Best Secret Menu items.  I want to order them now!

Ok.  Yes.  I am a mental floss junkie.  But this is another cool post.  Artists that take well-known cartoon characters and make them more realistic.  So cool.

Yeah.  That’s right.  CANDIED.  SALTED.  BACON. YOU ARE MOST WELCOME.

It’s cellular mitosis with doughnuts!

I have not tried to make this yet, but my friend Tris’ sister-in-law posted this sweet recipe for making Pumpkin Spice Latte’s at home.  Because I am singlehandedly funding Jill Casey’s benefits at Starbucks.  I love it so so much.

Not only is this video completely and totally fun, for every 10,000 people who view it, the Dude Perfect guys will sponsor one Compassion child.

Cracked.com makes me laugh so hard.  It reminds me of Shane for some reason.  They are like an irreverent mental floss.  This article about 7 Secrets Only Two Living People Know is so interesting, and it’s funny.  Warning: people cuss.

That’s enough for today.  My hope is that one day I’ll be able to post pictures on this blog (ugh) and I can resume normal postings.  Until then…
