Great idea for parties: have a polaroid camera and "photo booth" set up.

Did you know there's a Velvet Paintings museum in Oregon? I saw this on Bourdain and lost my mind. {Velveteria: the museum of velvet paintings}

It's Wednesday

Has everyone seen "Into the Wild" already? I was excited when they had a scene with the real artist who build Salvation Mountain which I blogged about a while ago. I would be a hippie for a day just to go see it. But only for a day.

Brussles Sprouts grow like this. I never knew that. They're really cute. I want a brussels sprouts plant.

I guess some hospitals in Seattle are noticing a "baby boomlet", happening about 9 months after the massive power outage in seattle. Haha.

I'm stealing this one too along with Vacuum Kid, and we're takin' that show on the road! Her little fingers can't even go fast enough to play - so cute!

Edith: My new hero

"density for density's sake isn't good for a city, not when it doesn't allow for diversity too. Luxury condos and fitness clubs are far less interesting than an old woman who speaks seven languages and ran away to join the war effort as a teenager, a woman who raised 27 war orphans and was maybe a spy. I know that I'm old fashioned, but I'd much rather hear about touring with 1950's big band leaders than the newest thing out of Microsoft" - metroblogging

AOTD: secret mall apt

Artists, at it again, building secret mall apartments. {boing boing}
