OMG

I just realized it's Friday.

I thought it was Thursday all day today.

Best Search Words Ever

I use Site Meter on this blog, which allows me to not only check the traffic, but also lets me know where hits are coming from, even if it's from a Google search. For instance, if someone stumbles upon this blog because a Google search led them here, it lets me know what words they typed in to get here. I've seen some strange ones over the years (which I've been compiling and will share with you sometime soon), but my favorite, by far, is one I saw today.


Yes... "How to show my Yorkie I'm the pack leader."

Good to see I'm not the only one with this problem.

The Sartorialist

You might already know about this blog, but if not, I'd like to introduce you to The Sartorialist.

The Sartorialist is a style blog helmed by Scott Schuman, a former showroom owner who used to work for Valentino. From his bio...

I started The Sartorialist simply to share photos of people that I saw on the streets of New York that I thought looked great. When I worked in the fashion industry (15 years), I always felt that there was a disconnect between what I was selling in the showroom and what I was seeing real people (really cool people) wearing in real life.

Some of my recent faves...

On the Street... 40th St, Midtown

On the Street....Camel & Grey, Milan

Outside the Fendi Show, Milan

On the Street....Giovanna in Paris

Corn Chowder

I love corn chowder. I wanna eat it all day, every day.

Mark says it's made with cream and is fattening, but I don't want to believe it. I mean, it just tastes like corn to me. Well, maybe it's kinda creamy. I don't know... I just really, really like it.

That's all I wanted to say.

Open Letter To The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Dear Leukemia & Lymphoma Society,

While I appreciate the Ziggy address labels you sent me, I will never use them because THEY HAVE ZIGGY ON THEM.

I have given money to you in the past and will continue to do so, but please... no more Ziggy address labels. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Karyn Bosnak

Beverly and Elvis Right Now

Read the previous post for an explanation of this.

Elvis right now... standing on my desk, staring at me. (He does this all day.)

Beverly right now... curious as to why I'm disturbing her nap. (But not so curious that she actually lifts her head off the bed to look at me.)

Me Right Now

Vimeo has a collection of videos on their site called "Me Right Now," where they encourage users to take quick videos of themselves doing whatever it is they happen to be doing and upload them.

This is me right now... makeupless and in need of a shower. (We all have those days.) It's not a video, but a quick four-shot thing I took using Photo Booth.

Take a picture or video of YOU RIGHT NOW (meaning don't go put on makeup, change your clothes, or do your hair) and post a link to it in the comments section!

Whatcha Talking About, Jack?

Simply had to post this.

Polls Closed!

So the polls closed on the east coast 45 minutes ago and Hilary is expected to be the winner in New York and New Jersey. It's so exciting! I'm going to be glued to CNN all night long.

BTW, I ended up voting for Obama.

Daily Candy

Did anyone else read the Daily Candy email today? It's absolutely hilarious. (And gross, too... but mostly hilarious.) It's about... well...

February 5, 2008 | Daily Candy: BungGlow 8

It has come to our attention that it is no longer acceptable for your bunghole to be, well, brown. (Yeah, we said bunghole.) And South Beach Skin Solutions has developed a lightening gel that is safe for that sensitive area (no, we have not tried it).

The natural product claims to give your poopshooter “a fresher, more youthful look” by making it blend in with your natural skin tone. (Seriously?)

Elvis In A "Stuff On My Cat" Video

Someone told me that Elvis made the cut for a Stuff On My Cat video by Ultra Kawaii and I couldn't be more thrilled. Ultra Kawaii means "so cute it hurts" in Japanese. According to their website, their goal is to showcase the cutest pets on the planet every week. He's about 1:27 in...



They describe him as "one of the more stylish cats." I'm so proud of my little bugger!

Parasailing Pics

I brought my video camera up with me when I went parasailing and it happens to also take pictures. First, here's a picture my sister took while waiting for us on a raft:


That's me and a friend way up there!

Now, here's the view from where we were:


More pics coming in a few!

PS - My video camera is a Sanyo Xaxti. It's really tiny and I love it.

Super Tuesday

Is it weird that I'm excited for Super Tuesday?

I'm a registered Democrat in the state of New York so I'm eligible to vote. (In case you don't know, voter eligibility for the primaries differs from state to state.) I was feeling Obama for a long time, but then I started feeling Hilary, but then Hilary turned me off because she's such. a. politician. So now I'm feeling Obama again.

Who else is voting?!

PS - I know people say you should keep your political views to yourself, but it's my country, dammit! And my blog! So I'm going to say what I want, when I want!

PPS - Yes, I'm back from vacay, but I'm still at the airport, so I'll update about it later!

I went...

I went parasailing!

I couldn't find a place to bungee jump, so this was the next best thing.

PS: It was kind of scary.

Attention Foodies!

Actually, attention EVERYONE!

I have some very exciting news to share with you... My step-sister, Tracy, is a finalist in the Pillsbury Bake-Off!

I know, I know, I know... you're probably all thinking, You have a step-sister? Why, yes, I do! I have two, in fact, and one step-brother—but those other two aren't important right now. The important one is Tracy.

Tracy is the queen of the kitchen, the ruler of the range, the owner of the oven, the—okay, I'll stop. Bottom line, she makes tasty treats that would make your mouth water, your taste buds tango, and your tummy ache (in a good way).

And she has a cooking blog. Rah Cha Chow, that's what it's called. Cute n' clever name, isn't it? Check it out.

The reason I'm telling you about Tracy is that, out of the tens of thousands of people who submitted a recipe to this year's Pillsbury Bakeoff contest, Tracy was picked as one of the 100 finalists. The big competition goes down in April, and the cook with the best recipe wins—get this—a million dollars!

Here's a little history about the contest. It's been going on for 43 years.

And here's a link to Tracy's recipe: Jalepeno Popper Cups. It's the perfect Super Bowl party goodie!

Vote for Tracy's recipe! Please, please, please! It's kind of a pain because you have to register, but please do it anyway!

Okay, off to the Bahamas now!
