the cutest random website tuesday of all

i just found an adorable website via ismoyo. it is called Lefor-Openo, named after the illustration duo who created amazing post cards, advertisements and posters in the sixties. oh, and they're french (oh, lala!).

here are some of my favorites.

random vlog (?!) tuesday

random blog tuesday

are you kidding me? apparently i'm one of the last people to know about the preteen blogging wonder, Tavi. (she was in T Magazine already, for crying out loud.)

check her out.



um...yeah she's 12. here's her blurb from her about me section.

Hi there! I'm Tavi, but when I make typing errors I'm Ysbo. Throughout my blog you will find small references to 80's films, as well as inside jokes that will at first come off as creepy, but will not compare to the creepiness of my Van Montgomery-esque smile. My dream haircut would be some type of cross between the YSL bowl cut and the hair of Daft Punk music video characters, with a little Bob Dylan. I'm married to a high schooler pirate. I am not a Harry Potter fan, but I totally dig his specs.

wish i had been that cool at 12.

random blog tuesday

i found bottom half nude through another cool site i read occasionally so i figured it couldn't be that bad...and i was totally wrong. it is great. it seems to just be entertaining blather from intelligent people with no real purpose...but i love it.

from the about section on the blog:

"Dear God, what have we done.

Semi clothed and sitting in a row in a large light filled space, Mary Pearls, Marty George and Benjita the Creaker became compelled to impart, well, what would otherwise simply go bandied around the workplace and perhaps slip through the nibble fingers of those who might also like to enjoy some of this nonsense. It’s just another blog, sure, nuts and natter and the like, but rather than just telling it to ourselves, we thought maybe you might like to take a peak too. Hold tight…"

check it out to waste some time and get fun things to email your bored friends.

random blog tuesday

ricky gervais is one of my favorite comedians and his movie blog "ricky gervais...obviously" is one of my favorite new ways to waste time at work. *yes that is ricky gervais, tina fey, and rob lowe in a nerf gun fight with the photographer.* if you like things that are hilarious, you should read it.

random blog tuesday

so this isn't exactly random...because i know the author of the blog. but it is random to you! *and that is all that matters.*

operation night brace is a tragically funny blog about a couple struggling with debt. below is the blurb from the "about us" section on the site.

We’re Gareth and Amy and we’re in a race to pay off $180,000 of debt in as quick a time as possible. We’re not your most conveniental couple so this won’t be the most conventional blog. Perhaps you are reading this because you know us, perhaps you are reading it because you are in debt yourself – either way we hope you find the adventure we are heading off on interesting and inspiring. For truth, love and student loans.

it is both inspirational and romantic. check it out!

not so random blog tuesday

"she says I like long walks and sci-fi movies. you're six foot tall and east coast bred. some lonely night we can get together, and I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather, and drill a tiny hole into your head." andrew bird, fake palindromes



go read andrew bird's guest blog for the ny times, measure for measure. seriously. *okay...so i know i've already posted today about a random blog, but this is totally different.* below is the blurb in the about section of the blog...just to pique your interest.

"With music now available with a single, offhand click, it's easy to forget that songs are not born whole, polished and ready to play. They are created by artists who draw on some combination of craft, skill and inspiration. In the coming weeks, the contributors to this blog -- all accomplished songwriters -- will pull back the curtain on the creative process as they write about their work on a songs in the making."

right now, i can't stop listening to his album the mysterious production of eggs. i keep trying to listen to other things but i find myself getting frustrated because it just isn't what i want to listen to. so i always go back. it's a vice.

random blog tuesday

random blog tuesday

so my new job inspired me to create another "blogging day of the week." the first, you may remember, is food-centric fridays. i haven't exactly kept to that...but that is neither here nor there.

the new day theme is based on one of the values that my office subscribes to - freshness. we define freshness as...the habit of always trying new things or doing things you do every day in a new way and being comfortable with the unpredictable. *if you are interested, you can find our other values here.*

also, yesterday, i received a comment on this blog from one of food bloggers i posted about. she was entertained by my blog and appreciated being drawn out of the world of food blogs. awesome!

so...today's random blog is "Outras Cadeiras" which i have from a reliable source means "other chairs" in Portuguese. it is a photo blog that i found to be pretty interesting. i hope you get a chance to check it out and throw a little freshness into your day.



btw. let me know if you have any ideas for random blog tuesday!
