Hand Over Hand

You can't hold up your books with your hands all day. Or can you? If you can, do, or any combination of can and do, I have two questions for you:

1) How strong are your arms??? Damn. The endurance you must have.

2) Do you have a job or friends or anything like that that would require abandoning your station at the bookcase?

If you had these bookends that look like hands, maybe you wouldn't be such a sad person with your big arms and shoulder discomfort and sleep deprivation.

Questioning Reali-tea

Oooooh! What kind of beverage could you serve in this? LSTea? French Trip Coffee? Acid Cider? Put on your white vinyl everything, because you're in for a big hit of delicious candy.

I've never done any hallucinogens, so I know that this far-out to-the-max tea set is real and I didn't just conjure it up in a drug addled state. Further proof that this is real? My husband photographed it, and he doesn't do any drugs either. Also, you can't photograph something that isn't real. Vampires? Not real (sorry Twilightophiles, go Team Jacob!), not photographable. This tea set? Real and photographable. There you go.

Buoys Will Be Buoys

Yes, buoys WILL be buoys, even when they are light fixtures, like this one. This hanging orange happiness globe suspended in a fishing buoy net really lights up my life, and maybe someday, your soiree. What food would you serve at such a soiree? I had a friend in high school who went on an orange foods diet, probably just to be weird. Everyone is trying to set themselves apart and carve out an identity for themselves at that age, and she did it by lunching on Sunny D and Cheetos, and allegedly eating tons of mac n' cheese. So healthy. OK, back to your soiree! Here is the menu:

Uni on Pumpkin bread with tobiko-carrot creme fraiche

Baked Sweet Potato Flambé with shaved Cantaloupe and Peach Shnapps

Butternut Squash Ravioli in Nacho Cream Sauce*

Peach en Croute with Orange, Cheddar, and Mango topping

Screwdrivers, and lots of them.

*The cream sauce that does not belong to you.
