Smoking Gun Gigarette Holder: Wrong in So Many Ways






like the author of the wired article, i used to be a regular smoking. i gave it up about 8 years ago because i was having heart problems. but a fancy cigarette holder that would make me feel as if i'm inhaling the smoke after a gun discharges its load is almost reason enough to take it up again.

i appreciate the sarcasm of shooting yourself in the mouth everytime you take a drag. there aren't nearly enough cigarette holders with (not so) subtle sardonic undertones.

happy easter.....

while i was searching for some cute easter graphics, even though i don't celebrate easter, i came across this cookie cutter.



in case you can't tell from that picture, it is a cookie cutter of christ on the cross. it's from a bakery in germany and goes for approximately $20 USD.

i admit that, even with four years of catholic school training that my religious etiquette is, well.....somewhat lacking. would it be appropriate for me to bake a dozen of these soft and scrumptious J.C. cookies for the crazy religious lady i work with? and if so, do i make them chocolate or vanilla?

this all seems too potentially controversial to me. instead, i like to go with images i know are safe. so.......



happy easter.

thursday night thing...

although i've lived here for over five years, i had never been to the museum of contemporary art downtown. a few months ago a friend started telling me about the "thursday night thing" (TNT) at the museum once a month. it's only $3 to get in and includes entrance to the exhibits and usually some musical/artistic performance and activities.





last night, we went to check out TNT since we had heard this would be the last one until november, due to the economy. the theme was "yoga:, so throughout the museum there were yoga professionals contantly changing poses. there were also a few bands playing decent music and fortune cookies as appetizers.

one of the activities available was making origami fortune tellers. mine looked kind of sorry, but at least it was a fun feeling like i was in sixth grade again.

overall, TNT was a good time. i wish i would have discovered it sooner before it takes seven month hiatus.
