Earth Day

So Earth Day was Sunday. In celebration, my neighbor decided to run his snowblower all afternoon to burn off the gasoline.

When the ozone layer burns off and we are left to whither away under the sun's ultraviolet rays, I am going to go to his house to use him as an umbrella.




(Editor's Note: so for some reason Google and Blogger have booted Oola's account. We are working on getting her back on the Internets. Rest assured she is doing well and probably having a martini as we speak.)

Sock it to me

So I consider myself a reasonably stylish individual. I usually match. I enjoy clothes that have a timeless quality to them. I try to keep up with trends, but I generally do not give in to fads (I can honestly say I NEVER wore a dress or a skirt with work boots, thank you).

My problem has always been socks.

I've never been good with socks. No matter what I have on, they always seem to be slightly off. Like today, I thought I was fine, everything is of the same general color scheme, but upon closer inspection it seems patterned socks are too busy for striped pants. I look like one of those old people who insists on wearing multiple patterns at the same time (I see plaid pants and a polka dot shirt in my future).

It doesn't help that I seem to have a penchant for children's footwear. I am supposedly an adult, and yet I own: 1 pair of socks with Carebears, 1 pair with the Powerpuff girls, 1 pair with neon sailboats, 1 pair with the American flag, 1 pair with flamingos, 2 pairs with hearts, 2 pairs with cats, 1 pair with a cat and a dog, 1 pair with shoes (footwear displaying other footwear? BRILLIANT), 1 pair with umbrellas, 1 pair with the Abominable Snowmonster, and a Happy Hanukah pair with many Stars of David.

I need an "Extreme Makeover: Sock Edition". I need a celebrity stylist guru to assess my sock drawer. But I will never, ever give up my Abominable Snowmonster socks.

Things that make you go WTF #1

So I have become addicted to this website Even though a part of me began to weep for the future when both Rachel Weiz and Alan Rickman were deemed "Famous-r" than Sammy Davis Jr.
