Put the finishing touches on this one last night. Excited to see it up, especially if it gets printed on the paper Jenna suggested.
------
Speaking of Jenna, her and I tend to send each other a lot of links. Lately she's been killing it, sending me some great stuff that I just have to share.

When Polar Bears Attack - Extremely adorable. The first picture just kills me. Have I ever mentioned to you that I wish the technology existed to keep a baby bear a baby so that I could own one? I know the moral implications of that would be iffy, but how great would that be?

Wood Meets Metal - Faux Bois and Real Bois together! This buckle is awesome! Way out of my price range though, well, more even than I would spend on a buckle ever (probably). Still, nice.

Brass Boxing Bear - THIS IS AMAZING. I got so excited when I opened this link. Also, note that it appears to be a bookend, so there has to be at least one more of them out there. How great would that be to own?

Cowches? Cowches. The picture they use in the first link is great and makes me want one (not that I would ever get one, but you know...). Some of the pictures on the actual site make them look a little less awesome. Cute idea though, and the name is obviously genius.

One more Muppet video...
This one is a real tear jerker. I've always thought about looking for it , but never have until now, because I knew it would make me cry. Big Bird at Jim Henson's memorial service. So sad. The way his voice breaks slightly at times and the ending just kill me.

Another Day...

Nardwuar and former PM Jean Chretien by the awesome Mitch Clem. Mitch rose to fame with "the world's first online punk comic," but also illustrates album covers, show posters, magazine articles, probably some other things, and My Stupid Life, which is his current (awesome) webcomic about his life. Been a fan for awhile. Highly recommended. Definitely going to have to buy this one when it comes out.

Something you may know about me, or will come to know about me if you continue to read this, is that there are MANY things out there that I would like to own, and I will not hesitate to tell everyone and anyone who will listen that I would like to own it.
Like this shirt, that is apparently going to stop being made. Been wanting it for awhile. Might need to buy it.

No need to buy this one, but it is awesome. So is the whole blog that posted it. Focusing on faux bois = creating pretty much one of the best blogs ever. So much good stuff.

This here is a pretty sweet flickr set of old ephemera. It comes via Draplin, who I'm sure I'll mention a lot around here, as I've been a big fan of his work and blog for a long time now. I go so far as to buy magazines about a sport I've never participated in, just because he does the layout. Gross, no?

Made a BIG purchase today, but you'll find out more about that later...
