learn something new every day

I found this site this morning. Fun facts, lovely drawings, learning!

After I saw this one, clearly I was hooked!

I always new there was more value to tequila than most people thought. Now it's true. Quick, bring me a paloma so that I may wet my whistle and feel luxurious. (for those who aren't into as diamond-laced drinks as me...a paloma: tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, soda water) yum!


one more fun fact (mainly i just like the happy banana picture)

a messy bang and a song.

Ya that's right. I did it.

Dear Building Management

I'm cold. So is everyone else. I keep my sweater on everyday. Or my big giant jacket. I even bought a blanket at the downtown Ross to drape over my legs to keep my lower half warm. It's bright green and I love it. But really? My fingers go numb most days. I hate being cold.

Some people had space heaters. We were told that was not allowed. Some complaints have been made. We've watched numerous times as the maintenance men come and poke at the vents and say they'll do something. Still cold. I've seen women wearing beanies even. Beanies!

I happen to know that our company pays more per month to rent this office than I make in an entire year. I think you can crank up the heat a notch or ten.

Don't tell me nothing can be done. It's beautiful and 75 degrees outside. And I'm freezing in here. And I end up just pissed off. And shaking. And even in midsummer I'd turn the heat on in my car to warm up on my drive home.

It cools me to the core. Only winterfresh gum is supposed to do that.

Help me. I'm cold.

Sincerely,
Montastic

a little floorplan creativity

Thanks to Chase for sending me this link yesterday. I thought it was a fun little bit of creativity to an ordinarily boring medium: apartment rental ads.


Her favorite was "Splash." Probably because she likes to use the bathroom a lot.

My favorite were "Be" and "Escape." Much better than living room and balcony if you ask me. Anyhoo, nothing mindblowing here. Just an easy lil smile on a Thursday morning.

I don't remember where I saw this web banner...

...but it annoys the HECK outta me. Ya, that's right. I said it. HECK.

I mean really??? A horizontal banner ad... and they just rotated a vertical photo? Those lazy, cheap, sillypantses! This is not approved behavior.



Save money by purchasing cheaper banner ad real estate?

Check.

Save money by not hiring someone to design a horizontal version of the ad?

Check.

Well, maybe it was their way of being funky and different. You think?



Hrmmm. I agree with hippo.
