Laugh and the Blog Laughs With You

I have been keeping all kinds of humor to myself. Hoarding it. Laughing here at my computer, and you've known nothing about it. Now, my friends, it is time to share. Below are some silly websites and blogs I sometimes visit. Laugh with me. And if you know any similar sites, please share.

This is the first of this "people watching" genre I discovered. It's hard to know which photo is my favorite, though "the closeness of you" is probably a good choice. Would you want to be in that relationship? If so, which person? Really, it's the collection as a whole that makes me chuckle so much.

There's not much one can say about this that the site's title doesn't. It is called "People of Walmart." Be sure you go back a few pages to get the true flavor of the people of Walmart.

This is not a site to visit just before lunch. Which, for some reason, is when I tend to check it out. Every single sandwich looks so freakin' good. The funny is in the oddness. I mean, who scans their sandwich every day? And who makes sandwiches like this, or who seeks out such variety from take-out joints?

This type of thing is a favorite of travelers and wanna-be travelers everywhere.

So, it's a site with things that all look like ducks. Big deal. What's funny about that? Volume, people. Sheer volume.

This isn't a true humor site, though a lot here is funny. Some is just plain interesting. A lot is poignant. My current favorite (funny) post is about Walt Disney. http://www.dump.com/?x=0&y=0&s=disney

This site makes me happy I'm no longer a college student. These texts are largely from young people who are inebriated, and while looking in on that life doesn't sound as if it'll be amusing, I bet you laugh by the end of the first page. Best read on the weekends or Monday morning.

Hey! It's your old Brooklyn crafty Quaker friend Sarah! I've been lurking and reading your blog for many months. Merry Christmas! Oh, and as for funny blogs, Cake Wrecks often cracks me up:

BTW, Tallulah is always on the lookout for things that look like ducks so she can submit a photo of it to "this peanut..." She loves that site.

Happy winter times to you and yours!

Oh, and:

1. If I were in the "closeness" relationship, I'd have to be the man, because a suit is appropriate attire for a portrait -- not a tennis shirt, no matter how much the branding screams the expense of said tennis shirt. ;-)

2. So ... s/he scans them, then eats them? Is it worth all the scanner clean up??

Hot Lava Girl

So what do you do when your daughter tells you she wants to be an exploding volcano for Halloween? First you give her some time to change her mind. When she doesn't, you get creative. First, I made a newsprint pattern and then tried it on the kid, cutting and adjusting as necessary. (She's being scary in the photo, like a volcano.) Then I cut out a huge piece of brown fleece. It's worth noting here that I don't sew. I cut, I glue, and I make liberal use of that fusing material that allows you to iron fabric together. Then I made shiny lava floes. Then I made a crown of flames. When she put it on she looked a lot like the Pope -- pointy red hat and all. She loved it, so I loved it. I don't know that she looked like a volcano, but I also don't know how else I could have done this without resorting to paper mache. I made the space between her arm holes too wide, so the fabric bunched in front. She didn't notice, and I wasn't about to try to fix it. I kept t

Hippy Town

Boulder has a reputation. Think of Boulder and you most likely picture of a big ol' box of granola. If you know people who live here you might expand that notion to include words like hippy, green, liberal, easy-going, and sporty. We've been here for almost six months now (really! I can't believe it either) and I can tell you that Boulder's reputation is well-deserved. Aside from loose-fitting, natural-fabric fashion, dreds for white folks, prayer flags in every neighborhood, and other visual cues that this is a non-conformist place (in a the way that non-conformists tend to look alike), here are a smattering of observations: • The other day in a coffee shop I overheard some people talking about a "gypsy dance" party that was going to have live music, dancing, a feminine altar, and a masculine altar. • Some of the busstops here have solar panels to fuel the lights that illuminate the shelters at night. • When people bump into one another or have a problem, the

Time to make the donuts

I have managed to get myself a job . I applied for exactly one position and got it (this has happened to me before). Either I'm really as good at this museum thing as I say I am in interviews, or I'm really lucky. I could also have good timing, be in a small field, or be really good at fooling people. Actually, the part about good timing is true -- I sent the company a blind letter just a few weeks before they were going to advertise for an exhibit developer (that's what I do, in case you aren't keeping track). The job seems pretty awesome, which is convenient since there aren't many exhibition firms in Boulder. The work, the firm's clients, and the general feeling in the office all seem to be are right up my alley. They agreed to a half-time schedule, which is all I feel I can do right now because I'm not ready to give up being with my children more than that -- they're only three, after all. My job joy is tempered by the now-constant anxiety of findin
