I got tired of the old layout, so here is the new one! To find the navigation, just pull on that tab at the top of the page that says "pull." Isn't that neat? Let me know if it's too confusing for everyone.

I realized there's no actual comment button. If you want to leave a comment, you have to click the "0" next to the date. I think that's a little confusing, but we don't get comments anyway. :P

Oh, and at the bottom is the technorati button and the stat counter. I may fill in that space with other random things, so check the bottom of the page often.

This layout came from the good people at Blogger Templates. They don't' have a whole lot, but what they do have is aesthetically pleasing in simplistic ways. Less is more!

The story goes like this: my roommate told me about the time he went on a school retreat and a game of silly "would you rather" questions ensued. He posed the question "Would you rather fight a bear who can spit acid 20 feet, in the middle of the forest with nothing but a baseball bat, or a shark with a laser beam, in the middle of the ocean, with nothing but a kinfe?"

Years later, his best friend was shown this website by an art professor. So he typed in "Draw me a bear that spits acid and a shark with a laser beam." 3-4 months later he got this back:

This website is probably the most mysterious website I've ever seen. There's nothing but a fill out form where you put your name, what you want drawn, and your mailing address. The only information on the artists is his name (Mike Godwin). I've tried Googling and checking Wikipedia, but I didn't get anything on him. There is no money involved; this person seems to do it just for fun.

I can only imagine the types of ridiculous requests he gets. That's probably why he does this for free. I imagine he's got some sort of mundane job, sitting in a cubicle all day. Being able to come home and immerse yourself in a world of silliness everyday must be a wonderful vacation from the real world.

I was telling my friend today that I wish I had a waffle iron. I honestly can't remember the last time I had a waffle. So I decided to look up waffle irons, and I found some pretty ridiculous ones. The one above is a keyboard waffle iron!


This waffle iron makes your waffles in the shape of the state of Texas. If you're interested you can purchase it here.

This waffle iron doesn't make waffles. Instead of making tasty breakfast treats, it plays vinyl. I'm not sure if this is cool or just plain silly. Thank you, 1970's.


This waffle iron, designed by Tom and Kathy Wegman, is covered in tiny miniscule seed beads and jewels. They will take virtually any mundane, everyday object and transform it into a thing of sparkly beauty. It has a certain 1960's/Indian flair, doesn't it?


And of course it's only appropriate to end my waffle escapade with the Hello Kitty waffle iron, featuring other cute Sanrio characters. Utterly silly.
