stop wasting electricity

Man this suburban family is on a roll. For reals, they had the best Halloween themed decorated house this fall and now they are blowing away the competition again for the holiday season. However, I think we may need a two-fold intervention:

1. STOP WASTING electricity....mother nature and martha facher are going to punch you in the throat. I mean your neighbors have to hate you too. All that music and flashing lights. I'm going to have a seizure, and not in a good way.
   
2. You need to find another bad pop group besides LMFAO. Yes this boy band is fascinating to me too but let's not turn into tween obsessed mode. I suggest your next background track be a reminder it's almost friday (despite leading the dislikes voting), something by Queen, something about being on a boat, a little Nicki (with her pink chicken necklace), and something about tootin and pootin (or big butts).

Consider this your well-needed two-parter intervention after seeing this go viral:



Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. Hey girl. I just don't care...I don't give a shit. I work out.

open letter to seattle

Dear Seattle,

I'm sooo looking forward to coming for a visit in two weeks. I miss you lots, you know with your constant cover of cloud and moderately tempered weather. I'd like to visit with family, catch a flying fish, eat an almond crosssssant, go canhoooo-ing, get on a big b-ooo-a-t, see the twins and BS with Scott, spot a sparkly vampire, and go see DMB at the Gorge. The reality is I may only accomplish the first goal here because UW screwed my alternative-non-work-related plans earlier this fall. Alas I get one free night.

While in Seattle, if possible, I'd like to spot this new mode of transportation I recently read about. I'm a bike supporter, especially when they add a fast swimmer to it (aka, sperm). Not shooting blanks anymore! (to quote my fav grad school friends). I'd like to see this bike, ride on this bike, and buy one for my own personal use around Cville:



Wow Seattle, way to be environmentally friendly and telemarketingly conscious. I like it. Now go make me a computer or a cup of coffee.

See you soon!

Sincerely yours always and forevvvver,
LL

My current jam = this song**

Not surprising that this song is making the Halloween themed rounds in suburbia:



Nice work residents of some overpriced neighborhood. It's like, why wait till Christmas time to waste energy and exponentially increase the electricity bill. Let's get our creative juices flowing early and start celebrating the fall season with a little pop culture flare.

You have to admit this is pretty badass. Who has the time to design this shit??? I like it.

**Except when I go to the movies and see those fat, stupid chipmunks in horrible outfits dancing with robots. This telemarketing completely misrepresents the a-mazingness of my favorite boxy car. This makes me not want to buy it when the plastic pinto, knock on wood, passes on.

Wow this totally blows my mind. You know how most beaches have drift wood that washes up on shore? Yeah this happens, but typically the wood is small, light and water logged. Well with the Tsunami this year, the West Coast has apparently been hit hard with drift wood on the coastal beaches. Yeah I'm not kidding. This isn't your normal drift wood type of year--and trust me, this picture is fo reals.

Case and point, check out what washed up on the shore in the Olympic Peninsula in WA state. Specifically, La Push WA, the now historic site of the Twilight movies. Holy balls, this is huge and unbelievable and beautiful all at once. I think this is just a-mazing:
