Tumblr, here I come!

This blog has seen better days. I have decided to start a new blog via Tumblr, which can be found here. It's still called Kittens and Frosting, but now it will consist of shorter, more frequent posts aimed at sharing interesting tidbits with you - from pictures of my cats to the latest and greatest YouTube video.

If you burn your toast...

Do you throw it out and start over, or do you eat it anyway?

Penelope and Traffic School

Following Angela's lead, I have decided to share a sketch from SNL that I find rather hilarious. Check it, it is super laugh-worthy:

Wow-ey!

So, there's a 101-year-old dude, Buster Martin, in London who is planning on running the London Marathon in April. Read a bit about him here. Note that he is not only planning on breaking a world record by being the oldest marathon runner in history, but he also has the rather remarkable qualities of having fathered 17 children (!!!) and retiring at 97, only to return to work at 99 after two years of boredom. This is Buster:


He looks pretty good for his age, no? Also...I know I'm going to hell for saying this, but he looks as if he might have fathered the cavemen in those Geiko commercials, no?

Happy International Women's Day

I forgot to mention that it's International Women's Day today! Read more about it here.

Last Session

This is funny.

There's always light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm F*cking Ben Affleck

To-day, day, day, day...

Today has been a rather productive day, now that I think about it. I applied for a job at the Huntington Beach Youth Shelter (a 12-bed short-term facility for teens in crisis). It sounds as if it would be extremely challenging but highly rewarding and, obviously, very relevant considering my current educational/career goals. It will be interesting to see if I hear back from the unnamed people who work there.

(As a side note, I always get a little miffed when job listings don't include a contact person. This is mostly because it makes writing the cover letter a bit awkward. You don't want to address "To Whom it May Concern," but what other choice do you have?)

Additionally, I finished the diagram portion of the genogram project I have to complete for my family therapy class. (A genogram is similar to a family tree, but it includes important medical and mental health concerns for each person represented. It also uses a very specific set of symbols to indicate the nature of relationships between family members.) The point of the assignment is for me to look for the patterns that emerge across generations (e.g. alcoholism or depression). I have to write a paper about my findings by Wednesday's class but haven't started it yet. Hopefully I'll get to that in a little bit...

Also, I put together a couple packages to send to some of my dear friends who are studying abroad. And I even managed to watch the Academy Awards (albeit half-heartedly) even though I think they are rather terrible. It's sort of sad that people look forward to them so intently every year. I mostly watch just to sneak a peek at some of the personalities in Hollywood whom I happen to like, but that might be sad, too. I was not very impressed with this year's red carpet fashions, and I think John Stewart did a crummy job of hosting. As on the Daily Show, I just find his delivery to be a total deal breaker (even when his quips are positively hilarious). I still maintain that Stephen Colbert is 1,000 times more clever and cunning.

Anyway, that's all I really have to say right now. Except that, while online "window shopping," I came across a really terrific dress that, if I were the hottest woman alive, I might actually have the confidence to wear:


So hot! It's on sale for $254.50 (marked down from $848) at Shop Bop. (In case you want to get it for me, I wear a size 2. Wink! Wink!)

PS. I just saw Jimmy Kimmel's response to Sarah Silverman's "I'm f*cking Matt Damon" sketch. It's pretty hilarious. When I can find the video on YouTube, I'll post it here.

Quick Poll

I can't tell - is this necklace really powerful or really distasteful? I saw it on the Feminist Majority Foundation's website and can't decide.PS. Happy Valentine's Day (even though I've missed it now by nearly two hours).

Appalled and Disappointed

Facebook has an application called iLike that allows you to post songs on your friends' profiles as well as your own. According to the iLike main page on Facebook, Linkin Park's "In the End" is the fourth most popular song that users add to their profiles.





Wow.
