This mirror is SO LAME!

I L-O-V-E Engrish!  And I really shouldn't since I am an English teacher (or maybe that is why I love it so much?)!

Found in San Francisco's Japantown:

Lovin' Punctuation Desecration

The following is completely stolen from Apostrophe Abuse because they are so damn funny (and I could never do them justice rewording it myself):

Bad news: We only have one keg. Good news: It's on sale!

Spotted in Lansing, MI:

I am also getting a serious laughter-induced stomachache from reading The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks.

Today's Randomnalia: Bikram, Yummy Vegetables, and Cake Wrecks.

  •  Yesterday, I did my first class of Bikram Yoga at Funky Door Yoga in the Haight.  

Woomph!  Let me say my butt has been officially kicked by an hour and a half of vigorous yoga in a room heated to 105 fahrenheit with about 40% humidity!

Today my body is sore all over in a good sort of way, but my head aches as if I have a hangover (despite drinking lots of water).  Before I do my next class, I am going to ensure that I drink lots of water with potassium and sodium.
  • And, no matter how much I love getting my veggie box from my CSA Farmer, I have to admit that I am beginning to get tired of pale, winter root vegetables and am ready for some color like this box from October!CSA October0001
  • I am absolutely laughing-out-loud loving the site Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Horribly, Hilariously Wrong.  Exhibit A:

Jesus is Pissed...

While going on the City Guides "1906: Phoenix Rising" tour (Free!  Entertaining! Educational! Tour regarding the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire), these nicely juxtaposed images caught my eye:

"Jesus is Pissed" (And carrying guns!! Embiggen and look at arrow and red circle!) and the nude stripper shadow profile!

San Francisco is just too wonderful!  I love it!

Things I am loving right now...

  • LOL Vogue Models over at Jezebel.com (similar to the "I can has cheezburger" LOLcats, but with human models).
  • Doodling on magazines...
    Poor Nicole went all XIV after Tommy-boy left her and the quacktology thugs wouldn't leave her be:

  • This hat, Verity, by Ysolda (Must buy pattern as the Felicity hat doesn't seem to be working out for me!)

  • Magic Loop on my super slick Addi Turbos and Colinette Jitterbug in the Toscana colorway:

(It "seems" to be a faster knitting method compared to DPNs.  Not certain just yet, but it is sure nice to not be losing needles every 10 or so minutes!)

  • Looking at little cars on the streets of San Francisco:
