5 Things I Love for Friday #111

Originally posted on April 18, 2008

  1. Nutella muffins - Saturday morning I plan on adapting my go-to muffin base to include some of the stuff in this cupcake recipe. Because really, what makes a giant muffin better than adding some Nutella?
  2. Portishead video - Apparently famed trip-hop legends Portishead are working on a new album. Here’s a video of them in studio previewing seven of the new cuts. Sweeeeeet.
  3. Kellog’s new Cereal Streetwear Collection - This is a favorite this week because not many things get this awesomely bad. Streetwear. For young people. With cereal characters. Yea Kellogs, because nothings says you’re thuggish-ruggish like having Snap! Crackle! and Pop! on your clothes. Epic FAIL.
  4. Stunning henna tattoos - No, not the kind of henna tattoos from the ’90s that screamed “I just can’t commit to being hardcore.” These are for Indian brides on their wedding day.
  5. Heating pads - The Wife™ and I have been suffering from back problems for the past two months (hers for good reason, mine because I’m dumb). Buying a heating pad was a very good investment. I’ve used it almost every day, and it has made quite the difference, taking me from “not able to walk” to “mild b*tching.” Though to be fair, “mild b*tching” is sadly my normal state :(

You know this lame-ass stunt by Kellogg's will probably work because the youth of the hip hop culture latches on to the absurd. Anyways, the first kid I see in the mall 'rockin' his tony the tiger all thug like is going to get my foot in his ass.

um, i have to disagree with said points regarding kay-ee-double el-oh-double gee wear. honey smacks was made for the ghetto with his catch phrase and all, and they could add a new one, "aw smack!" as opposed to the trendsetting, "aw snap!"

the toucan sam jeans are too much much though. do you really want someone telling people to follow their nose displayed on your ass?

@Bill - Nice. Follow your nose. 2 points for you, sir, for remembering that.

Harvard Bound

When I was young, I used to use Harvard Graphics (DOS-based presentation software) to make sweet pictures.

The closest I got to ivy league was neon green and pink geometric patterns with 16-color gradients.
