Web Time Wasters


Because I'm an animal nerd. The 10 most diabolical fish on earth!

I want to do this when I grow up. Or next week. 20 Subversive works of Guerilla Street Art.

You guys know I love tiny houses. So I obviously love tilt photos, which make everything look miniturized.

I'm pretty sure these are the romance novels of choice in my hometown. Whatever floats your boats, guys.Link

I'm a little bit in love with this girl's outfit choices. And by 'a little bit in love with' I mean 'I just went through her whole flickr stream.'

I'm totally not into planned communities (I'd like to be able to differentiate my house from my neighbor's, thanks) but what if it was an eco-community?

Are you a cusser? Or as my college roomate liked to say 'a swear bear'? Apparently, Americans lovelovelove to do it.

If you live in the Twin Cities, maybe you've seen St. Paul's art signs? They're metal and shaped just like real traffic signs, but feature funny pictures or strange sayings. Apparently, they're supposed to help slow fast traffic in the residential neighborhoods.

How cute is this delicate, a-symetrical necklace?

Two fantastic house tours: one feminine and lovely, one full of bizarre, museum-worthy curiosities.

Y'all, bookmark this business: The cheapest places to live in the world, $500 a month.

I need this adorable paper-clip hoarding birdie on my desk yesterday.

And remember, you can still comment for a chance to win this swanky, $125 clutch!

Happy hump day!

I know! I just feel like my desk would be *happier* with that bird on it.

I love that they give the possible lengths for the diabolical fish. Hah! Diabolical comes in many lengths, it seems.

Nascar Romance Novels... really? I live in NC so I bet those will sell like hotcakes here.

I thought you'd enjoy this bit of street art from my city of Raleigh, NC. He's been sentenced to community service, but I think it was probably worth it. http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/5621145/
