still alive

You know how your foot feels when it goes to sleep? Before the pins and needles start? That numbness?

That’s how my head has felt for the past four days.

Combine that with an inability to get a comfortable amount of oxygen into my lungs, and you have a recipe for a pretty crappy four days.

I can breathe a little better now and I’m not quite as dizzy.

However, I still feel like poo.

Poo. That is a great word.

Poo.

Heh.

bleah

Comic books? Check.

Ice cream? Check.

Comforter on couch? Check.

Slight dizziness from lack of oxygen getting to body? Check.

Chest cold.

is that a giant pink bunny or are you just happy to see me?

that's a big pink bunny

A controversial Viennese art group, Gelatin, has erected a giant pink rabbit on the side of a mountain where they plan for it to stay until 2025.

The 200ft long toy rabbit now nestles into the side of the Colletto Fava mountain in Italy’s northern Piedmont region.

“Behind a hill, as if knitted by giant grandmothers, lies this vast rabbit, to make you feel as small as a daisy,” said group member Wolfgang Gantner. The artists want people to scale the rabbit’s sides and fall asleep on its stomach…

I can’t explain it, but seeing that actually gives me hope for our species. I don’t know why.

I think the world needs more giant pink bunnies.

Except for this one. This just scares me.

katrina: more on animal rescues

During Hurricane Katrina, Noah’s Wish has rescued over 500 lost, forgotten or neglected animals in Slidell. Some will find their former homes and owners. Others will find new homes. In the meantime, Noah’s Wish volunteers will take very good care of them.

when you stop worrying about morality and ethics, advertising is easy!

Bumvertising™, or the use of sign holding vagrants to advertise, is a development of PokerFaceBook.com’s most recent advertising campaign. Homeless men are able to provide a valuable and tangible service to a company, while receiving an additional revenue stream in combination with their normal donations from begging.

Holy crap.
