How Many Chickens In The Coop?

Washington Monument

This is not your typical Washington Monument. This creation was hatched from the brain of Rudolf Siemering in 1897. You will note the unusual animals that adorn the sculpture's base: these were selected by Siemering to represent the wildlife Washington encountered while in battle. This is hands down the coolest monument I've ever seen and I would sincerely enjoy a scale sized replica for our backyard.

Its MUSIC VIDEO TUESDAY!!!!!!

Im so obsessed with music videos that I have a hard time waiting until Friday to talk about them.

5 % - Ryan Gosling in the Notebook
2 % - Jonathan Lethem
2 % - Chuck from Gossip Girl
1 % - The fox version of Robin Hood from the Disney classic Robin Hood
90 % - Al B. Sure in this music video

Before The Fire

Take The Next Five Minutes To Get Used To The Hand Controls

To ride a Segway is considered in the industry, 'to glide.' These gliders were spotted at the bottom of the steps of the Philly Art Museum gathering for a tour of one of the oldest cities in the United States. The leader, in the noticeably bright red baseball hat, had a mic head set on that enabled him to speak loudly over the Segway's roaring engines. As the group accumulated they took the first ten minutes to acquaint themselves with the precarious nature of the Segway. And this is did NOT look easy! Gliding is not recommended to those who suffer from ailments of the inner ear.

Upon first spying this group of d-bags I was immediately amused in a look-at-those-losers kind of way (hence the pictures), but as they sped off into the maze of Philly's old town, I couldn't help as I glanced down at my own two sandled feet - hardly means by which to glide - feeling a slight pang of jealousy.

Its MUSIC VIDEO FRIDAY!!!!!!

This music video by Quarterflash is interesting because its obviously supposed to be her "wildest dreams," but I think what she is really trying to tell us here is that a carnie broke her heart.

Per Anonymous: You Have To Steal The Babies

Babies : Not For Sale!!!

This weekend we had a stoop sale, which is the New York equivalent of what you west coasters call a "garage sale." Leading up to the sale, I kept thinking, 'I'm only 25, have I really amassed enough stuff to sell???' As it turns out, our basement proved to be an infinite wellspring of clothes, paperbacks and women's soccer trophies that ultimately earned me a whopping 60 bucks!!! I immediately spent my profits on the following: iced coffee, assorted meats for the grill, beer, a slice of san marino pizza, two towels from Target, a DVD rental from Vill and obviously, MORE BEER. Back to being in the red til Thursday!!

Its MUSIC VIDEO FRIDAY!!!!!!

If you've spent any extended amount of time with me, then you will know how important this music vid is to me. Just when you think Hall and Oates couldnt get any better with their crafty lyrics about women and those sweet melodies from Abadoned Luncheonette that make you want to grab a tall glass of limeade , they go and make a music video like "Out of Touch" and your head just explodes from the ecstasy. Seriously, who knew they could dance like that? I didnt.
