We are Phoenix.

One of my favorite bands has a new album coming out. This is the e-mail they sent me. Too cute. Click image for single.

Bob Kerrey's Ivory-Tower War. Sheesh.

The situation at work deteriorates.

Even better.

Cupcake art.

"Zilly Rosen and her team assemble a 5,900 cupcake mosaic of Presidents Obama and Lincoln at the Smithsonian in DC today (they had a live webcam set up). It was even cooler than it sounds, believe it or not."

Scrabble lovers everywhere.

Excellent interiors.

I want these people do design my home. Check it out.


Also, this dresser. Amazing.

Photo Grade Paper, or Did You Cheap Out on Me?

Waiter: Yeah, that's just because you're obsessed with me.

Bartender, sarcastically: Oh, yeah, right--I'm totally obsessed with you. I went to your Facebook page and downloaded all the pictures of you on there and printed them out and put them up on my wall so I could have a collage.

Waiter: That was oddly specific.

VOTE FOR ANOOP.

Otter love.

Thanks Pantone.

Another babysitting intro. Yo Gabba Gabba.

Biz's beat of the day:



Opening Credits: (I feel like I need some drugs to fully enjoy this.)

Smart Girls at the Party.

Ok, so maybe I've been babysitting too much, but I LOVE this. Positive role models for girls. Highlighting the fact that it's cool to be smart and proactive. AND I just saw the guitarist, Amy, at UCB!
