Freelance Whales

I have been sadly remiss in updating my blog but a new year and new resolutions! Today, I want to inform you of the Freelance Whales. Just heard about these guys last week and have been enjoying their music.

I'm from Texas . . .sorry.

Sorry is all I can really say about this post from Above the Law.

I hate the Fray

Dear Apple,
When did you become like an episode of the new 90210? The Fray??? Please go back to being all indy and cool. I am fine ignoring crappy shows on the CW that keep featuring the Fray, but I can't handle them being featured everytime I go to your website. I know 14 year old girls everywhere are spending loads of money on whatever crap-tastic Fray song appeared on last night's episode of One Tree Hill. But those girls will still find the Fray without you making me have to look at it.

K. Thx. Bai.

ps. if I am surly about this, chalk it up to old age and a hangover. Gonzo Gal turns 31 today.

Go Baby Sea Turtles!

I love turtles. My 3rd grade art teacher called me the turtle lady because every art project (relief stamps, pottery, watercolor, coal pencils, etc) involved a turtle. I still have the pottery project. In 7th grade I went to Sea Camp where we got to see the baby turtle hatching facility in Texas. Naturally, Rachel Maddow's Moment of Geek was super exciting to me.

I am an Eight Year Old

This might be the funniest thing I have seen in a while. Even funnier is Rachel Maddow cracking up uncontrollably. Watch it with the door closed or with ear phones. Or maybe not at work.

CAKE!

These cakes are pretty awesome. My favorites are the Minas Tirith, Back to the Future and the Star Wars walker.

Mad Men

You know you have made it as an icon of pop culture when Sesame Street parodies you. Thanks to H. Tammy for passing this along.
