I’m not a fan of the word retarded (I still remember bursting into tears during my 7th grade math class when some jerky kids used it to make fun of my developmentally disabled brother.) but this video is still pretty great.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Fake but funny
Phew! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I got the bulk of my big quarterly report for work finished and E is feeling better. This week was hard for a number of reasons but things are looking up.
I know I mentioned that I was going to kick-off a new feature but with all the craziness this week that’s been postponed until next week. I’m excited about it though.
This video cracks me up. It’s not real; it’s a skit by a comedy troupe but it’s still really funny.
(Sorry for the weird size of the video: I couldn’t find a smaller embed).
Have a great weekend!
A little video for your Friday
Things have been pretty quiet around here this week which is good because my allergies have me pretty wiped out. But I’m working on a new feature which I’ll post about next week.
In the mean time, here’s a neat clip. I love how nonchalant the merchants are.
Have a great weekend!
Better than a million melons!
I think breastfeeding babies is a great thing to do but this is a take on it that I have honestly never seen before. My jaw dropped open more than once while watching this.
Easter Weekend
This weekend was nice and low-key. My church held its general conference on Saturday and Sunday. It was nice to listen to the inspired words of our prophet and other leaders. Here in Utah where there are so many Mormons the conference is broadcast on local tv so you can watch from the comfort of your couch. It was a great time to reflect on my life and my relationship with the Savior.
I actually got to attend a conference session in person: not something I do that often. I went with my mom who is in town visiting my sister Jan. There were a few small hiccups: we sat next to a distracting couple who were smooching and whispering loudly through the whole conference, I had to leave my camera at the package check and then it took almost an hour to get it back after conference (the line was huge and then it took them 20 minutes to find it during which I was freaking out that it had been lost), and then we accidentally got on the wrong TRAX train on the way home. But it was fun to hang out with my mom and to be there in person to feel the spirit of the conference.
On Easter we gave E a basket with treats and his very first Slinky. (Predictably, he has been mesmerized by it/shown great talent at tangling it up.) And sometime this weekend between sessions of conference and eating Easter treats N showed me this video.
You’re welcome, people. YOU ARE WELCOME.
Consider my mind BLOWN.
Have you seen this preview of the new Photoshop CS5? It is mind-boggling.
Babies!
Prepare yourself for some serious cuteness. I’m really looking forward to seeing this movie. (And I like the Sufjan Stevens’ song used in the trailer.)
My brother-and-sister-in-law Ken and Mindy are arriving tonight to stay the weekend so I’m off to do one last round of house-tidying. My niece A is turning one today so we have her party to go to tonight and then a family dinner on Sunday. Our weekend is shaping up to be a little crazy but it should be lots of fun too.
TGIF
This week has me beat. I’m still not quite over a cold I came down with last weekend which is sapping all my spring-cleaning energy away. But I better rally soon because we’re having house guests next weekend (eep!).
You may have already seen this video, but I think it stands up to a repeat viewing. I like it, anyway.
Have a great weekend!
Have you seen these?
These photos by photographer Kim Kyung Soon for the October 2007 issue of Korean Vogue have been popping up on several blogs lately (found via Design Mom.) I think they’re great.
The models are dressed in hanbok, traditional Korean dresses. I have a few pictures of me in hanbok (that sadly don’t look anything like this). But if I can find them I’ll scan and post them sometime.
Usually hanbok are more brightly colored (older women wear more muted colors) but I love the soft colors and stillness of these photos. Looking at them makes my eyes happy.
I found some large images of these over at Simple BlueprintThe other thing floating around the ol’ internets I wanted to share was this video by OK Go. I know a lot of you have probably already seen it but I’m posting it just in case you haven’t and because it’s a happy Friday-type-of-thing.
Have a great weekend!
Sundance 2010: Louis CK “Hilarious”
Even though he sometimes uses language that would make my mother faint, Louis CK is one of my favorite comedians. (And the part about my mom is no exaggeration. My brother Steven is a huge Howie Mandel fan (yes, apparently there is such a thing) and for his birthday he wanted to go see Howie perform but when Mr. Deal-Or-No-Deal started dropping the swears my mom freaked out and wanted to leave but Steven wanted to stay. So she covered her ears and successfully blocked the evening from her memory.)
You may have seen one of Louis CK’s comedy specials on Comedy Central or noticed him as Amy Pohler’s cop love interest on Parks and Recreation. Hilarious, is a two-hour performance movie by Louis CK. It was really funny but I wouldn’t recommend it if you have delicate sensibilities (This means you, Mom!).
The best part of the viewing was that Louis CK was there in person! He introduced the film and then held a lengthy Q&A session afterward. It was fun to see him in person. He definitely had a self-loathing vibe roiling off him (surprise, surprise) but he was very nice. I was tempted to ask to take a picture with him but decided it would be tacky; he looked really tired by the end of the Q&A.
Louis CK did a bit on Conan’s show that’s been making the rounds on the ol’ internets. It’s pretty great (and swear-free since it was on network tv). He included a longer version of it in the movie. Check it out.
