Snot Suckers & Jellyfish
Wednesday, May 23, 2007 8:35 am

does this country have problems getting snot of babies’ nose or something? I saw this thing around the web twice in 1 month:

Gizmodo: snot sucker CoolTools: snot sucker

is this a national crisis? let them breathe through their nose and swallow the snot if it starts sliding back. I remember when I was a kid on the plane with my mom, we received pepper packets for our food. I wondered if I’d really sneeze if i took a whiff of pepper (they always do that in cartoons). So i poured some out in my hand and accidentally ended up snorting the pepper and well, it was just like in the cartoons! I started sneezing like crazy and my eyes watered and snot just dripped down my face with specks of pepper.

I asked my mom for some tissues. I didn’t ask her to suck the snot out of my nose. But that definitely would’ve helped me.

Speaking of snot & jelly-like things, I love jellyfish, and here’s a USB-powered jellyfish tank for your desk from AudioCubes and Jellyfish Pool Lights from Frontgate:

The USB Jellyfish Tank is so cool and realistic and they move around the tank and the light changes color! As you can see from this Youtube video, it’s very peaceful:

isn’t that so cool?! Too bad it’s way expensive @ $159.

“LOC” meaning Library of Congress, I believe. See, I’m indexed in the WorldCat catalog. I co-authored that article “Intranet 2.0″ with my boss Nicole C Engard in 2006. Yep. But she left. So now who’s coattails am I going to ride?

I went to a fabulous play today called The Four of Us by 1812 Productions (only $7.50). It totally inspired me to write a book or a play or start acting again… or go to more of these plays (which would be the easier alternative). The thing that struck me was that the audience members were 99.9% middle-to-upper class white people. Where did these people come from? Manayunk? City Line Ave? Cuz I sure as hell didn’t see any people from my block there.

“I should write a book,” is what everyone says. What makes them think they can write something so interesting? Oh, it’s just for self-satifaction, they say. Bullshit. “You know, I’d love it if it got out there but really, it’s just for me.” @_@ wtfe.

I should write a book. But seriously, if it took me this long to start a blog… yeah that book is never going to get done.

Mini Filing Cabinet I so want this! The best idea ever (well, the best idea in the past 15 minutes)! For under $15, you can get this at lighterside.com. It’s super cute and would go great with your other mini-stuff.
