Blash-up: vacation spots/signs your friends are high
I fear these blash-ups are hardly the level of awesomeness I’d begun to achieve when I did them more frequently on MySpace. So bear with me. I’m refinding my blash-up voice! I can’t remember the the last place I saw it. I’ll stand very still and hope it finds me. While crying and whimpering.
Jamaica
What’s with all the corn nuts?
Cabo
It’s funny, but not THAT funny
The Poconos
Lake George
Green butter
Maui
Hacky-sack
Are we there yet? Actually, we haven’t left!
Paris
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.
Aspen
You smell like a Christmas tree
The Shore
Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd again?
Blash-up: salad dressing ingredients/signs the graft isn't taking
For those unfamiliar with “blash-up” it’s short for “blog mash-up,” a term coined by the lovely Laura Leu when I was casting about for one and a debt is owed as well to my favorite book, For the Love of Cheese from the makers of Might magazine. I don’t even love cheese! But they used to do similar types of lists. Anyway:
Salad dressing ingredients/signs the graft isn’t taking
oil
vinegar
gangrene
salt
intense itching
garlic
what’s that smell? oh, it’s your hand
mustard
pain
dill
what type of blood did you say you had?
marjoram
can you feel this?
pepper
come back in two weeks and bring the hand
Best Bets 8-4-07
Here’s Best Bets, and I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything of consequence word wise lately. Would it please you to hear about my allergies? Because I feel like someone rubbed a cat all over me today, which is not a euphemism. I have histamines in places I didn’t know were possible. Date me?
UPDATE: Red Eye 8-3-07 WITH MORE LINKS
Hello readers. Did you see me in the Post? And Gawker? It’s been a strange day. Anyway, here’s this:
Red Eye 7-28-07

Good Day New York Street Talk segment 7-28-07
TV this weekend
Greetings cherubs,
It will be impossible to turn on the television this weekend without seeing my loveliness especially if you are watching Red Eye tonight, Good Day New York tomorrow, Saturday Today in New York tomorrow or Good Day New York on Sunday. If you watch anything else there’s a good chance you’ll miss me, since I’m not on anything else. Okay then. WAIT, THIS JUST IN: I’m not sure Good Day New York is called that on the weekends but it’s on the local Fox channel (ch. 5) and it’s a half hour show about Global Warming and it’s on tomorrow at 6am and Sunday at 11:30am and my segment involves a worm bin. Truly!

In related news, apparently they were saying “Hunan” not “human,” much to the disappointment of curious local gourmands. (thanks to Richard Koss for the photo)
