5 Things I Love For Friday #35

“Hi. I’m a PC.”

“…and I’m Five Things I Love for Friday.”

“Wait, what?”

“Oh, sorry, PC. The Mac asked me to stand in for this one.”

“Ah, too afraid he would catch a virus from me?”

“Well, no, not really. He just realized that these commercials actually made you look more lovable and cute rather than make him look young and hip. Totally backfired.”

  1. In the Waiting Room (New Yorker column) by David Sedaris - Never hopped on the Sedaris bandwagon oceanliner, but this short article is quite amusing. I still won’t drink the Kool Aid, though.
  2. Rawhide bones - No, I haven’t gone all primal. But for some reason Jonas has all of a sudden taken to a frenzied, fanatical love for his rawhides. He devours an extra-large one in under 2 hours now. Whatever, it allows me a few moments of peace to suffer through more DVR’d episodes of House Hunters that The Wife is obsessed with.
  3. Mark Jenkins Street Installations - Surreal. Creepy. Yet somehow I managed to chuckle at more than one of these. Typically not a fan of this style, it’s an interesting (and did I mention creepy?) concept nonetheless.
  4. A Tiny Glimpse - If you can ignore the early ’90s, Mod file-esque music (anyone remember mods?) this is rather interesting. A look at what the Hubble telescope found in 2003, put into perspective. I assume it’s accurate. And if so, hard to comprehend.
  5. The new Apple iPod Nano commercials - Very glowsticky. But a beautiful extension of that existing campaign. And an extra two bonus points for using a Cut Chemist song!

“So, FTILFF, does this mean I don’t have a job anymore? No more commercials?”

“Sorry PC. But at least you’ve got Minesweeper, right?”

Nose Job

I've broken my nose so many times (over 7) that some days upon waking up, I actually have to slide it across my face to make it straight.
