If only Picasso had listened to this guy. He might have got somewhere with his life.
Your portraits won't look so gimpy if you check to be sure the eyes are on a line half-way between the top of the head and the chin, the inside corners of the eyes are one eye-width apart, the nose is almost halfway between the eyes and chin, the nose is as wid

The life of a Tennessee locksmith's cat
Annie A via Annie Rhiannon on Mon, 17 Nov. 2008
I've stopped counting how long I've been here. I've fallen in love with a locksmith and we drive across Tennessee letting people back into their houses together. While he drills through their doors I watch other women fall in love him; taken by his smile and his soft Israeli hair and glad they don't have to spend one more goddamn

Giant rubber band has ACME possibilities
John Brownlee via Boing Boing Gadgets on Mon, 17 Nov. 2008
A six foot long rubber band hardly qualifies as a gadget except in the loosest interpretation of the term, but still... many uses thoughtfully present themselves, not the least of which is a Wile E. Coyote like scenario in which it is

WTF Mondays, Part II (Live From Japan!)
heisgettingfat@hotmail.com (12 via 123 I Love You on Mon, 17 Nov. 2008
This first photograph is of an adult club near my apartment. I think they call it "Showboat" because the girls "show" you their boobies, and, if you go in there, you are morally adrift in a great sea of sin. Showboat.

Amelie
(unknown author) via The Presurfer on Sun, 16 Nov. 2008
Shared by Sour Grapes
Unbelievable language skills, and not just because she's speaking fluent French at about three. Her vocabulary is enormous, she speaks in sentences, and she even uses the very literary past historic tense at one point. A pound to a penny this child is being read to frequently. You can just hear it in the way she speaks.

Nashville doesn't necessarily exist
Annie A via Annie Rhiannon on Wed, 12 Nov. 2008
I sat for an hour outside my hotel before I realised that Floyd and Austin weren't coming for me. What was I thinking? A drunken pact between three strangers late at night, and it turns out Nashville is like Narnia: it doesn't necessarily exist. I skipped a train to New Orleans for this.But just as I was about to give up, a car pulled up. Annie get your guns you're over an hour l

If I die in Raleigh at least I will die free
Annie A via Annie Rhiannon on Wed, 12 Nov. 2008
I don't know what was wrong with Elvis but it's impossible to have the blues in Memphis. There is music and dancing and chicken-fried-chicken in every bar. On Beale Street I met two guys who just couldn't believe the places I've been so far. Has it really only been a month since I've been here in America? Oh, this is nothing, I told them, shaking my head and leading them into Louie's
