PUPPIES!

In preparation for next year's Halloween...

So, I'm a bit late posting this for this year, but it's still totally worth checking out - pet costumes, categorized. Is there anything cuter than dogs (okay, and some cats) in costume?

Now I get what Amidala saw in him...

I must have had my head in the ground to have never seen this before.  You know you all would have voted for Vader!

A blast from the past.

I loved this video, about how crayons are made, that I'd seen on Sesame Street. Apparently, many other people feel the same way. It's still fascinating, over 20 years later.

When a foodie and an environmentalist get together..

Jonathan Gold is a food writer for LA Weekly, and has won a Pulitzer for his writing. Mark Gold, President of Heal the Bay, is his brother. One likes to eat everything. Everything. The other spends his life trying to protect much of what his brother likes to eat. Here, Mark Gold writes about his experiences in dining with his brother, who he describes as someone who has "spent most of his adult life chowing down on the marine critters I’ve spent over 20 years trying to protect." Yes, they may have differing opinions.

Condom ring tone!

No plays on words necessary, because the headline alone is hilarious.  For India's attempt to encourage the nation to wear condoms, Bill and Melinda Gates paid for an ad campaign that includes an a cappella group singing "Condom condom condom...dooo..dooo..wop...condom!"

The article is available at the link below, and the song itself can be accessed through a link in the article.  

CONDOM!

Suspicious of that bag of Cheetos?

Some of this stuff you should already know (ie, unprocessed foods are generally healthier than processed foods), but there's still some interesting information on marketing strategies used by the food industry.

XOXO, you'd better be watching this show!!

If you are as big a fan of Gossip Girl as I am, this is a must read. The fine folks at New York Magazine's Daily Intel's column compile a reality index each week for the show (which runs Monday night, but you should know that already) which they post on Tuesdays. Then, on Fridays, they add in worthy comments for a final tally. You might have to sift a bit through their blog posts (as they totally heart Gossip Girl and post a ton about actor sightings and other related miscellanea), but really, there can never be too much. It really is the greatest show of our time.
