What's Happening?
Well would you look at that! I submitted "Smell You Later" to the Must Have Cute website and he's being featured on their homepage :D In case you haven't been over there, they really do feature the cutest things AND you can give each post a thumbs up or down (hint, hint). And no worries about the thumbs down I've gotten because it seems that every adorable posting gets some. To each his own, right? Right :)
Many thanks to the members of the Cheezburger Network that voted for me :D
Geekologie posted this and yes, it is a robot.
If they combine this guy with Watson...well, I don't even want to think about that right now.
Love their store and their philosophy about art -- "Poketo takes art off of gallery walls and makes them a part of your everyday life." Kudos to Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung for putting together such a wonderful collection of wares!
Some of my favorites:
Elephant mug designed by Silvia Portella
Sky Planters amazingly hold your plants/dirt/water upside down
Mini Designer Blind Box Chairs - Series 1
Enjoy!
I just saw this through Supahcute's facebook page
It's from Strapya World, "a worldwide Japanese cell phone strap, charm and accessory store".
Three of my favorites from their store:
Golden Poop, or gold unchi in Japanese which is a symbol of luck/monetary fortune.
Bear Bouquets
and iTAPEDECK silicon iPhone covers
My cutest friend passed along this pic to me as she knows I am a fan of both cake and Katamari.
It was featured on Musthavecute.com which is part of the I Can Has Cheezburger? family of sites. I'm perplexed that there wasn't any further info on who the amazing baker/artist was that crafted this beauty, but glad nonetheless to have it in my brain now.
Well, I'm back from my little vacation and it seems to have securely straightened out my brain. Things feel absolutely normal again and I'm able to look to the future with genuine hope and confidence. Yay!
With that said, in the hotel they had foreign television stations and while flipping past the chinese one, we saw a clip for Heidi, Germany's latest animal sensation. I immediately wrote, 'cross eyed opossum' on a scrap of paper so I could share her with you when I got back home.
You have to watch the clip because she's even more adorable when you see her walking around!
More info is also available about her from the Leipzig Zoo website.
Enjoy!
I just checked Facebook and Foodiggity posted the famous Spinal Tap clip to commemorate this coming new year. I thought it was just brilliant.

Happy New Year everyone - we're all going to eleven.
I hope everyone (who celebrates) had a great Christmas yesterday! I had a wonderful couple of days with my family and dogs and am now settled in with my new iPod staring out at the blizzard that's just starting to blow outside. They're predicting 40mph winds and up to 16 inches of snow! So happy we went out and bought a snow blower a couple weeks ago :)
Of course I can't just relax and watch new dvds and look at the pretty lit up Christmas tree against the snowy window. No. I have to start thinking ahead. To Valentine's Day.
I know, I know, YOU guys just want to relax and that's totally cool. But I kinda thought some of you might like to know what I've decided to do for Valentine's Day this year. Last year I released the limited edition mounted prints of "Kokoro" which sold out. And many of you have been emailing me about making more, which I can't, because a limited edition is a limited edition.
But I decided that I COULD make an open edition of an 8 x 10 giclee print of "Kokoro" and hopefully make a whole bunch of people happy in the process! That's worth a little prep a few weeks in advance, isn't it? And I thought I'd try something else new and put them up for pre-order in my shop right now. This way you're guaranteed a copy will be ready to ship to you January 17th, you've got a jump on your Valentine's Day shopping and I get an idea of how many prints to make! Sound good?
So click on the photo below to go to the shop and have a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year! I can't thank you all enough for your support and kind words over the past year -- I have the best fans!
The official video for the single Alive from the album Head First by Goldfrapp. Ed had shown it to me way back in May and of course, I'd forgotten all about it. He showed it to me again this morning and it was just way too appropriate NOT to post about here.
I do feel alive again. I don't remember too much, but I'm happy dammit! I've got three more treatments, once a week and the memory issues should lesson after each one. I'm really hoping to get back to painting within a month or two at the most.
Enjoy the video and thanks to everyone for sticking around. I promise I'm going to kick some major art-ass this year!
