Miss OJ Gets a Life

Smoky beers are delicious, but hard to find. This is more hoppy than smoky, but dark enough be tolerable. Still, I’ll be glad when craft brewing’s overwhelming obsession with hops fades a bit.

So I had a messy apartment. Then I discovered Unfuck Your Habitat, and worked hard on it, and had a less messy apartment, and lo, it was good. Then I got pretty depressed (again) and had a messy apartment (again). I’m less depressed now, and have more free time to boot, so it’s back to unfucking.

it.

is.

perfection.

Pitch-perfect. Spot on. All the synonyms, everything I imagined when I read it for the first time at age eleven, et cetera. Ack, I can’t stand it.

(Also, I’m beginning to find Martin Freeman inexplicably attractive—hot, even—and I’m not sure what to make of that because he is so not my type. And yet. AND YET.)

(Admittedly, his hobbit wig is not his best look.)

(AND YET.)

This. Is. Fabulous.

The rosettes on the hub caps are killing me, seriously.

Holy bus cozy, Batman! Magda Sayeg, aka the Mother of Yarnbombing, used her mad knitting skillz to cover an entire bus in Mexico City.
