strange footprints left by north american white girl

Today at the gas station, I discovered that I am literally stamping the earth with the words "Kenneth Cole Reaction" (or at least a highly styled assembly of those letters) everytime I wear these shoes.

rachel ray makes delish dogfood

Okay, not that I actually believe this stuff is in fact delish (could it be both delish AND nutrish??)... but I couldn't help to use the vernacular: Rachel-speak. Yes, Rachel Ray has released a line of pet food. It is almost as if her marketing team is playing a prank on her, "You're the the next hot thing in dog food, Rachel". How does she go about concocting said dog food? Does she eat it herself? I would be willing to bet she does, but I know that statement is biased and a little uncharitable.

Was it not enough that she had her own magazine, talk show, cookware, and olive oil (appropriately named E.V.O.O., even more Rachel-speak)... she is invading American homes by any means necessary, and frankly, I don't like it.

and then the wind came

I cross this bridge everyday on my way to work; this is what it looked like today. Looks like we traded snow for wind...

treats from korea

One of my coworkers brought these goodies into the office today. They are so beautiful that it's quite obvious that they weren't made here in the states; we just aren't that exacting. Sorry to be down on my own kind, but it's true. Another particularly unAmerican detail about these is in that box there was a seafood flavored candy in the mix.(it's the one with the walnut, btw. bottom right)

dear 1958, you are very pretty

All gorgeous appliances in the world can't take the strangeness out of keeping your child in a playpen... still, those are some mighty fine digs.

mistakes. (the kind you can fix)

Let's pretend that you're at the Waffle House... and say, for a moment, that you forgot that your hash browns and your waffle are in different places. Forgetting this, the waffle received the same condiment treatment as your hash browns might have gotten.

But it's never to late to rectify what might have been a very unfortunate flavor combination. All is well.
