yucky cancer!

Wow. What an awesome break through! Speaking from having the, cancer spread experience, I am elated and hopeful that groundbreaking research will continue to receive the funding needed to keep saving lives. Bring on the clinical trials in humans!

Sometimes your Google Start Page delivers the oddest things. Often these things make you fall out of your chair in hysterics. Such was the case this morning. 
* my plan is much simpler: DO YOUR DAMN JOB!
There's a great story behind the web address, but it is not mine to tell. Stories do however abound on the site, and they are beautiful, intelligent musings on the life of a sometimes nomad, as he lives, spends time in and learns about a place. I want a life of endless adventures in everyday places, I guess that's why I love these so much.
A city can be judged on size, on money, on age. A city can be judged on smiles it creates.
In the fresh light tomorrow when all have awoken at their tallest, spines uncrunched by the weight of the work week, count them in passing. I have watched the crowds of Tokyo, the masses of New York, the push of Boston, the rumble of San Francisco, the throb of London, the cacaphonous mass of Shanghai for them, I have noted their absence, their brevity, their toothless gaping. - inhab.it
I caught the buzz on Cheney last week, but for the life of me couldn't spin it in to a blog post. Thanks to youtube, this wee blogger can finally rest easy, letting this nice little clip say it all.
The announcement email from my latest set of friends to reproduce came today! Anyone who can write something so engaging and comical during this most sleepless, fear swathed time, is destined to be a great parent. Congrats guys!! 
WTF?!
Hi Everyone,
Please welcome Penelope Catharine Anne to the world. Born Friday April 6, 2007 at 3:20 pm, she exited the womb, raised her arms as if in victory, and let go of a hearty scream.
"The birth was not as dramatic as I expected." proclaimed the cheerful mother still under the influence of an epidural.
"The birth was much more dramatic than I expected." said the father lying face down on a delivery room bench.
Penelope weighs 7 pounds and 6 ounces and is 19.5 inches long. She has dark brown hair and eyes of undetermined color (currently milky grey). Ten fingers and ten toes are accounted for. At two days old she likes colostrum and being swaddled. Her dislikes are cold stethoscopes and sleeping at night. - (new) Dad
This is what I am talking about!! Total wardrobe inspiration that you aren't ripping off from your friends! Check it - flickr rocks!!
welcome back boys!
The anticipation was palpable all day. I was in a way, needing my Vince, E, Ari and Turtle fix! Could 9:58 come fast enough? I love you ENTOURAGE!!
It's the closing of a long week, thus I have decided to treat myself to something nice. Thank you BuzzFeed, for showing me 20ltd. where I can find all things scarce and opulent.
Now, back to the business at hand, do I go after the darkly deviant bourgeois wallpaper? fabulously outlandish coat? or the ridiculous fox hammock? Gee, I just cannot decide.
edition - 100. only £666, it's a steal! 
edition - 20. £990.
edition - 5. £9,000, purrfect.
I love all things crafty (good thing I am a designer) and all things Space Invader (running all over Paris discovering his handiwork was awesome)! Imagine my glee at finding this wee project on Instructables!

Yeah, sign me up for that cross country jungle trek with no GPS...bleech! I'll stay in and watch The National Geo channel in high def, thanks!
Guess who is working for me today? Peep!!
tackling all the emails that need returning...
peep has an awesome phone voice!
peep takes a memo
* Thanks peep!! You rock!!
I am all things bright and shiny this week! Must be spring fever. I am in a way over this haircut. I fall asleep thinking about it. I wake up and rush to the mirror to see if the hair fairies came and chopped it to me whilst I slept. Alas again today they did not. Sigh. 
posh!
* wife, don't admonish me for the ridiculous word play.
Norm's, where life happens. 
Now, I am sorry but this in not, I repeat, not where life happens. It might be where late night bad food choices are made after the keg party, but this is not life. Merely a phase in college, which is where you live just before life happens (adult life anyway).
For those of you blessed without a Norm's (first - congratulations you are safe from major gastrointestinal distress), this is a chain of restaurants sub par to Denny's. Truly. Now you understand how life simply cannot happen here. Thank you.
Since 1992 I have obsessed over the beauty and presence of this woman. Her fashion sense, her sprite like qualities, and even her partying ways. She embodies someone who actually lives her life, bad habits and all.
Now there is more of her to love with her new TopShop Fashion line, which ships to the states! Also rumor has it Barney's is carrying it back across the pond! Here are my picks from her closet.
the super cute site!
this is my signature look, wife beater and low cut jeans
rock star
sequined mesh!!
I heart the shrug!
Pandas, Camels and Frogs! Oh I covet you, wee shoes! Spring makes me crave flats with critters and berries and all manner of cuteness. 
* found in Venice on Friday night
You know it is going to be a strange day when you wake up to a duck in your swimming pool, on the heels of a dream in which you had amnesia. 
* new plan - no more reading creepy books before bed.
Tuesday night cocktails at your local trendy dive bar! What could be better?! It's BYOiPOD Night!! Where you sign up for 30 minute "sets" and the bar approves or boos off your songs. And the bartender buys you a round for putting your musical tastes on the chopping block!
Playlist Highlights: Toto's Africa, Tom Waits with Bon Jovi doing something I didn't know, Peter, Bjorn and John's Happy Song!!
martini's and scotch
I was in love with the ambiance!
hell fire and damnation
Not cracker. Not cookie.
And yet, staple snack of small American children everywhere. This oddly wheaty, slightly sweet, way too healthy tasting to be a treat (kind of like carob to those of you who eat chocolate), hard tack, unleavened (does this make it kosher?), thing of mystery.
Among my numerous observances and discoveries at the hospital today, was this wee underwater sniffer! Waiting for me in the x-ray department was a quite worn nature journal and I got to read all about my new favorite critter! 
meet the star nosed mole!
* do moles kinda creep out anyone else?

* can you tell someone had an Oncology Appt. this morning?
A short list of my morning's odd findings at Kaiser:
The propensity for purple and aqua. Not a friendly color scheme people! It's just gross. Purple speckled linoleum flooring does not make one feel comfortable. Nor does aqua paint make one feel secure in the ability of this place to cure them. In fact, it only makes you wonder about the sanity of the decorator.
Why on earth is the cafeteria in the basement? As if coming to a hospital wasn't traumatic enough, you cannot even get a cup of pleasant coffee and brave the prepackaged danishes in peace. The basement is generally bustling with sick folks lost and looking for the lab, things on their way to the morgue, and every crunch of a lab receipt, squeak of a gurney wheel, echoes. Is it any wonder I am never hungry in this place?
The horror that is having Oncology next to the babies. Did they think putting us next to these pink and squishy bundles of human procreation would cheer us up? Sadly it only serves to remind us that chemo/surgery has robbed us of the ability to produce pink and squishy offspring.
Being weetiny, this is a challenge with the size XXL, standard issue sheets Kaiser likes to hand out. I have however perfected the wearing of such a garment.
1. undress
2. stick arms in arm holes and wrap said sheet around body (with flaps in the back).
3. find the neck tie on one side.
4. find the hip tie on the same side.
5. pull the neck tie over your shoulder on the opposite side.
6. pull the hip tie up, under your arm to meet the neck tie.
7. tie the strings together at the shoulder and voila!
* bonus - your ass stays nicely out of public view and it's not nearly so drafty!
