I swear, every quarter or so I have to explain to someone why this show is so damn good. I’m not talking about the Next Generation; I’m talking Caitlin Ryan and Joey Jeremiah in Grade 7 through graduation. Spike. Snake. Wheels. Clutch. Lucy. etc, etc.

When I have a kid, they are going to watch every single episode. In fact, if my husband didn’t love this show as much as I do, I’m not sure that we’d be married. (Maybe I’m exaggerating there. But you get the point.)

The website for Cologne, Germany’s airport. Totally awesome.

Here is the cute Pixar short that preceded Wall-E in case you haven’t seen it in theaters yet, or got seated late.

I asked my co-worker to buy this mug for me AND HE DID. Hence, why I love my job so, so very much.

Also, check out the Fail Whale Fan Club. It’s for people like me who enjoy Twitter’s error whale image (and Yiying Lu’s clever designs).

This is a Brain Splat. When I have ideas, writing them down or illustrating them helps me a great deal. In this case, I was pondering an idea that I’m going after with my buddy Janey.

Man in photo: She is in love.

Nino Quincampoix: I don’t even know her!

Man in photo: Oh, you know her.

Nino Quincampoix: Since when?

Man in photo: Since always. In your dreams.

(Just watch the first 48 seconds of this clip. Delicious.)

[last lines]

Joel: I can’t see anything that I don’t like about you.

Clementine: But you will! But you will. You know, you will think of things. And I’ll get bored with you and feel trapped because that’s what happens with me.

Joel: Okay.

Clementine: [pauses] Okay.

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 16:17:35 -0400

(warning: we have what some might refer to as “shitty taste.”)

1. Bone Thugs N Harmony: Tha Crossroads (just the chorus)

2. One Republic feat. Timbaland: Apologize (“this is the song my ex sings to me.”)

3. My Perogative: Britney Spears (we had a joint, long-distance dance party to this)

4. Never Again: Kelly Clarkson (trying to hit high notes— FAIL)

5. Criminal: Fiona Apple (no, it’s my karaoke song)

I love looking at business cards. From a designer’s perspective, it’s probably one of the most challenging +potentially inspiring pieces to work on.

Upon smelling the tip of a highlighter

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 16:13:03 -0400

(4:10:40 PM) christina: OK, I smelled it.
(4:10:52 PM) _e.r.i.c.:: sucker!
(4:11:05 PM) christina: it smells like a place that I don't want to talk about
(4:11:12 PM) christina: ever,
(4:11:13 PM) christina: ever
(4:11:18 PM) christina: ever.
(4:11:28 PM) _e.r.i.c.:: how about now
(4:11:49 PM) christina: Still not ready to talk.
(4:12:53 PM) christina: Ok i'm ready
(4:13:10 PM) christina: it smelled like...
(4:13:46 PM) christina: the inside of a rolled up, dirty sheet that went through the wash without detergent, and it was left to dry in a musty basement for about 1 year.
(4:13:54 PM) christina: And then you had a yardsale and pulled it out
(4:13:56 PM) christina: and then you died.
(4:14:11 PM) _e.r.i.c.:: I LOVE THAT SMELL
(4:14:20 PM) christina: NO YOU DON'T
(4:14:29 PM) _e.r.i.c.:: oh
(4:14:31 PM) _e.r.i.c.:: gross!
(4:14:35 PM) christina: what?
(4:14:45 PM) _e.r.i.c.:: yardsales
(4:14:50 PM) christina: Yeah.
