…in case you don’t know what I’m playin on.

Not too long ago I was looking into wooden stir sticks so we could switch to them at work, away from the plastic ones - you know… think plastic chemical leakage being placed in near boiling water - just don’t feel good about it, and I can’t be in love if it’s plastic.  Anyway, I was laughing pretty hard when I was reading the sole review that someone posted on Amazon.  Yes, this really is about drink stir sticks, though it turns out that this person is a review artist, gotta love him:

Stirring cream into coffee, watching the smoky cloud brighten the dusky drink, is the beginning of good days. Spoons work well-enough, but their inadequacy lay in their efficiency. Wide and concave, a spoon swirls creamed coffee swiftly, and the morning starts too fast. Pace those first moments with Wooden Coffee Stirrers, and every moment after will be more welcome than the last. 

With the Wooden Coffee Stirrers, the lingering night escapes more slowly, more gently. Mornings are better begun not bounding, but with a kind crawl. The thin, flat surface slips the cream into the coffee, blending like candlelight in a dim room in May. 

The wooden stirrer is closer to nature than the chemical of plastic, or the harshness of steel. Friendly to the fingertips, the action of the stirrer is comfortable, an ally for meeting your hopes for good coffee and a nice day. 

Increase the welcome of each morning by using the Wooden Coffee Stirrers. 1,000 should last a year. Make sure it is a good year.

This review became rather respectable in retrospect, but was very comedic when first encountered.

I forgot to highlight one of my favorite pictures in the post below, psych, I didn’t, I actually wanted it to have its own entry.  I call this one American Girl in America:

Well I finally got around to sorting/de-red-eyeing/tagging up our pics from when we went on our great road trip to the Northwest, all the way up into Canada, and back down through the mountain states.  Check out the pics on flickr.  They be geotagged and captioned.  Or go straight to the slideshow!  <– I just now really played around with the slideshow feature, how cool is flickr!?

There’s a few pics in there that I think are pretty cool from an artistic standpoint, here are my favorites from that category:

I really like when Emily lays on top of me.  Recently, I asked my mom to take a picture of this.  Just after the picture was taken, as she continued to lay on top of me, Emily told me that I didn’t know about “the twist”.  When I looked at the picture I loved it and laughed.

I don’t know what this is, but I found Sam posted this great video on his blog, go check it out.

Also didn’t know that facebook had video capability, but I have unfortunately not been on there in so long that it’s no surprise that I don’t know.  Hopefully I’ll be back on there before too long.
