jim and pam, grizzly bears, and etsy love

it is tuesday. and tuesdays are usually not the greatest days for inspiration. so here's something to get you fired up to get dressed and do something worthwhile today. although hopefully you're not still undressed or in your pajamas at 2:06 pm mountain time. but i won't judge you (to your face).

i watch this video a lot. like at least weekly and more most weeks. i've mentioned my addiction to online shopping, but it's nothing to my addiction to the office.























that video always makes me smile, and i hope i got you addicted to it as well. nothing like sharing my fetishes and obsessions with others and passing on the crazy. (whoa, picturing an army of me's in this world, running amuck and spreading the crazy, just made me really thankful for the ineffectiveness of cloning devices). here are some more random tidbits of mostly worthless information to inspire you on this maybe "blah" tuesday. but once you read this, it'll turn from blah to bright and mundane to awesome. you're welcome.

1. cinnomon increases your metabolism. 

2. the earth is probably 92 million miles from the sun.

3. an avacado has more potassium than a banana. 

4. animals could be put on trial for crimes in medieval england. 

5. and finally, grizzly bears are the best kind of bear.

now you'll hands down win your next round of trivial pursuit!

also on this tuesday, instead of all the worthless information i just filled your head with and forced you to read before getting to the real blog post, here is some cool stuff i've found on etsy lately and the shops they came from.

(clockwise from top left: 1. the big harumph 2. elitas 3. bananastrudel 4. blue carrot shop 5. spool and sparrow 6. ikabags)

so go waste a good chunk of your day on etsy searching for some cool stuff. like i just did.and check back tomorrow for written word wednesday. it's gonna be a good one. hint: king's cross. september 1st. best ever.

i hope your tuesday is now more inspired. if you need that last little push, here are some music suggestions that are top on my list right now:

1. sigur ros (song: inní mér syngur vitleysingur) -->it's a mouthful, and it's not in english, but that makes it all the better to listen to and to get lost in
2. shout out louds (song: show me something new) --> awesome music video too
3. sondre lerche (song: to be surpirsed)
4. sahara hotnights (song: who do you dance for?)
5. kt tunstall (song: golden age, from acoustic extravaganza)


and...my favorite and soon to be your favorite:
6. harry & the potters (song: the forbidden forest hockey league)

happy tuesday!
