Top Ten Tuesday: Nerdy Nail Art

Filed under: Top Ten Tuesday — Tags: , , , — ex-boyfriend @ 5:43 am

Since joining Pinterest (follow me!) I’ve been noticing an obsession with nail art. So many questions, so few answers. Are these women actually painstakingly painting each nail this way? Isn’t doing your right hand a lot more difficult (or your left hand if you’re a southpaw)? In any case, enjoy…I guess…

Is there a better way to enjoy spring than on your patio with a tall cold glass of spiked lemonade? I love this recipe via Spicy Ice Cream. Be sure to peruse her blog, so many amazing looking cocktail ideas!

Thirsty Thursday: The Future of Social Drinking

Filed under: Thirsty Thursday — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — ex-boyfriend @ 10:00 am

Sakebii is a new social drinking app for the iPhone that allows users to invite friends out to get crunk. Now, there are already a lot of apps like this out there, but it seems like Sakebii is trying to set itself apart by keeping things small.

Sakebii limits the number of friends within your network to 30 people — which still seems like a lot to me. If I walk into a bar and see more people than there are seats, it’s too full. But it’s still a decent concept that insulates you from potentially annoying acquaintances from popping in and crashing the party.

It’s still in development, but once it’s launched, I might try it out — if only in the hopes that the user interface is as adorable as the images on the “how to” page make it out to be!

WTF Wednesday: In Capitalist America, Sandwich Eats YOU!

Filed under: WTF Wednesday — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — ex-boyfriend @ 10:00 am

Well humanity, it’s been real, but I want off this terrifying Wonkatania ride you call modern society.

The staff at NPR’s Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me! decided to see if they really could “have it [their] way” and ordered a sandwich with the following ingredients:

• beef patty
• chicken patty
• fish filet
• onion rings
• french fries
• american cheese
• bacon
• lettuce
• tomato
• onion
• mayo
• ketchup
• slice of apple pie

all on a sesame seed bun. And for just $10!

Click here to read the full commentary. Those of you actually entertaining the thought of ordering this and too excited to read the commentary, let me first present you with the verdict:

“In the long history of Sandwich Monday, this is the worst thing we’ve ever had. Way worse than the sum of its parts. Avoid, avoid, avoid.”

Mystery Monday: Great Ad, Or Greatest Ad?

A lot of digital ink gets wasted on the supposedly awesome TV ads that debut every February during the Super Bowl, but let’s be honest, only 1 or 2 of the ads each year are worthy of the hype. And even those pale in comparison to this nugget of brilliance:

What’s so amazing about this?

• Gratuitous profanity
• A great tracking shot
• A random bear that can’t catch
• Using a machete as an office supply
• A humorous reference to polio (those are not easy to come by!)
• The sly dig at Gillette in the tennis bit
