This California grizzly bear is pretty cool, too.
I wish I could wear this to my work meetings.
I love what the Pom Pom Factory has done with pom poms. They do weddings, styling, windows, DRESSES...
This makes me want to go style something right now, preferably in a very fluffy dress
...or hat.
Second donut post in a row. Also, second general post in a row.
I love this picture from Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin, a collaboration between photographer Jason Fulford and designer Tamara Shopsin.
Very clever.
I've hadn't thought about this until today. You'd have 6 more hands to hold if you became an octopus.
Hands, tentacles, same difference (except for those creepy suction cups).

Panel: So I Started a Food Blog
Presenter: Molly Wizenberg of Orangette
Moderator: Emily Farris of Casserole Crazy
Orangette always makes me smile. Orangette was the first food blog I started following years ago. This Monday, I had the opportunity to see her speak at SXSWi.
Molly is not only a blogger, but also a freelance food writer, author of A Homemade Life, and owner of Delancey restaurant in Seattle. The lessons from Molly's talk contrasted with TECHmunch, a food blogger conference which I also attended for work and life. More on TECHmunch in a later post...
Molly focused on why we blog and the story behind the food. I hope my notes help you understand the feel of her talk.
Just in case you're wondering, here's my favorite recipe from Orangette's blog: Chickpea Salad with and Lemon Parmesan. It's super simple, just make sure you buy the best ingredients.
Look at what I discovered on Yay!Everyday.
I spy a few iconic outfits from a few iconic musicians - 20 to be exact. Read more about each featured musician on Every Guyed.

I love canvas tote bags, but maybe not as much as this guy.
Jitesh Patel loves tote bags so much, he made this book rightfully named Tote Bag Book.
Tote Bag Book by Jitesh Patel designed by Jai Studio, Jitesh Patel, £19,99. Hey, when you get a second can you convert that for me?
Last night, group of friends and I had dinner at Korea Grill.
The next time Austin frosts over, I'll want some tofu jigae. My tongue was on fire from first temperature and later, spice.
Hooray I found my camera. I'll start posting drawings again. This one actually took a few days to finish.
Here are most of the lyrics from Elephant Love Song from one of my favorite movies - Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge.
Happy Belated Valentine's week. All you need is love.
