If you know me in real life you probably know I love bacon, but I think this might me taking it just a little too far.


Although I do admit I wouldn't be opposed to trying one. You know you want to buy some.

Happiness

Urban Outfitters may not be the most ethical store but their music department does have good music taste. The free mix CD's they hand out in the store are usually really good, and now you can even download their mixes for free online. Check out Urban Outfitters' site LSTN for some sweet free mixes of recent songs.

I have a D.C. phone number so I get a lot of random calls from D.C. and Maryland that I usually don't answer. I just got a voicemail for a gentleman named Dmitri that said "Yo Dmitri, I got the stuff. You knoww. Bye." If I know you in person ask me to hear it.

I have no intention of every taking ecstasy, but I find the different designs incredibly fascinating. The picture above is a mimic ecstasy tablet in the shape of Obama's face, how crazy is that?

Ecstasy Designs

(The Lost nerd in me was won over by the Evangeline Lily sculpture, even though I hate Kate.)

Incredibly Realistic Sculptures
