Whatever happened to Botany Boy?

when he came on the scene not long ago, with all his posts and stuff, the HIA news became so exciting...tell us Botany Boy, what happened? Is it better to burn out than fade away? Did you find more exctiting blog partners? Enquiring minds want to know.

Panda Madness

For those of you who don't monitor cuteoverload.com as closely as I do, you may have missed further evidence of how Japan is handing our asses to us in the cute-making markets. Behold:



My god, people! Can a Jesus toaster be far behind? American is clearly losing the cute-toaster race -- is it our educational system? Who will emerge as our toast-making leader? And more importantly, how will Sunbutter taste on panda toast?

Rumble, young man, rumble

Today is Muhammad Ali's Birthday. He is 65.

My friend Mark just sent me this picture of the Cathedral Spires and now I look at it whenever I turn my computer on. What are you looking at?

Musky & Pheas Update

i can't BELIEVE you guys haven't been checking up on our favourite taxidermied critters . . .

and i KNOW you haven't, because how could you NOT comment on how adorable their current outfits are?? i made those little puffer jackets (well, puffer cape for the Pheas) with my own ovary scratchers! frankly, not to blow my own fashion-forward design horn, i made all their accessories as well.

I'm doing my best not to be offended. Jean-Paul has told me to expect that not everyone will recognise the significance of my work. probably, i'm ahead of my time.

This is a sweet commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUEkOVdUjHc It was banned of course, but how clever!

bo tan boy is now blog hog

I didn't change my name but I do think with all the new blogs I have created that I'm bloggin for a floggin. I have five blogs to call my own and I am still posting to them. Yaaaa for me. So Mully, how many blogs do you have? I hope I've surpassed you!

The King Is Not Pleased

This is the slowest Elvis' Birthday Sale ever....

What is Denise smiling about?

Of course it is the shop's annual Elvis' birthday sale! Which is actually tomorrow, and she won't even be here 'cause she is going even further south, where it is warmer than here. She is such a lil bitch.

It was no way to start the new year...

We have made it through our first severe weather. It has taken everything I have to force my little feet into socks for the past few days, the seemingly endless soupmaking, the curling up under flannel sheets, braving those first 5 minutes before the car warms up, it was all too much. The sadness of having to look at my frost-bitten bouganvillia was almost more than I could bear. That is why I just have not been able to post lately. But things are looking up, it is back to the 80's and sunny so now you can look forward to some more posts!

Prediction

Botany Boy will surpass me in the number of blogs by an HIA author.

Politics & Football

I'm sort of watching the IOWA caucus results. Its amazing how all the candidates I have heard speak can actually speak. No more George dumass Bushes. Now I'm watching a football game...gag. Nelson has control of the remote. KU vs VT. Now he is clapping. Is this the most useless post ever. Oh yes, thot I should tell you all that I jogged for 30 minutes this afternoon.

Domain Name

Can all you creative geniuses help me come up with a name for my next website. I want to sell my handmade paper and offer workshops on making paper. All the paper is made from wild plants of the prairie. PrairiePaper.com is taken. Let me know what you think.

Jeff is suddenly all about posting in 2008.

What gives Jeffy?

Where are all the HIA bloggers

Are you hungover? Laying in bed? Making love? I want to see some posts, stat!

My New Years

I went to a new years dinner at my friend mara's. He kid bought thousands of noise makers. One was a pressurized blow horn. I thought it would be fun to blow out a candle with the blow horn. An adult male said it wasnt flamable. I couldnt get the candles to go out. So the kid tried it, and he kept blowing it, and then a nice cloud of flames. I guess the warning "do not incinerate" also means "do not spray at candles"

Every Day is the start of a new year!

This morning I decided to find out what all the hubbub is about times square for new years. To me it sounds awful. You have to hold your pee for 6 hours, some wear adult diapers I'm told, maybe its fun. So I googled it, and found a semi interesting place called 43things.com - its a list and goal managing site. I did it. Then I thot, man I should create a blog about my garden. So I also did that. Which made me think, I really should create a lemonade stand at lemonade.com - but I haven't done that yet. Tell me what you think.
