from Matzo-ball-shaped soap to looking like boys...
This has been a pretty slow week, interesting-link-wise. Either that or I've been frozen under the pressure of providing interesting reading for my millions of readers.
I read an article last week about a state senator here in Ohio who is proposing legislation to keep Republicans from adopting. I think it's hilarious, and while I would normally be the first person to speak out against using the legislative system to make satirical political statements, I have to admit that this is no more ridiculous than the legislation it mocks. I approve.
Send someone a Monk-e-mail. I sent Lauren one of the monkey wearing a rugby shirt and speaking with a British accent. It went over well, except for the fact that she opened it at work. Oops.
Upload your picture and find out which celebrities you look like. No matter which picture I uploaded of myself, my top match was ALWAYS Chester Bennington (who I'd never heard of before this) at 74%. I even got different pictures of the same guy depending on which picture of myself I chose. I've always worried that I actually look like a boy, and I guess now I have confirmation. Oh well. Lauren got Ricki Lake, but since she gets that all the time from people, it was no great shock.
Too lazy to count how many licks to the center of a Tootsie Pop? This Lick-O-Meter will count for you. Honestly, this entire website amused me, and there are about a million things I want from there, including the Tiki Tissue Box and the Shlomo's Matzo Ball Soap.
A year and a half after our wedding, I finally came upon some Jewish same-sex wedding ceremony resources. We had adapt our own seven wedding blessings and deal with a rabbi who didn't put much energy into creating a meaningful ceremony... And NOW we find these resources!
Cockeyed.com is putting together a real height/weight chart. People are sending in their pictures, along with their height and weight, and they're putting together a table of what each height/weight combo looks like. I don't know why this fascinates me, but it does. Maybe it's because all the crappy novels I read describe the characters' height and weight, and I can never picture what that looks like.
I've found my dream couch. I've wanted an extra deep couch for a long time. Too bad this one is a sectional, because I think the three pieces would move apart every time someone sat down. And then there's the little issue of this couch costing over $3000. But whatever.
Finally, something no one but me and Carly will care about. On an episode of Popuar, April Tuna tells Emory to meet in her in the janitor's closet because she plans to get some of what sounded a lot like "fruitash". That made up word cracked both of us up, and Carly managed to actually say it five or six times in the day and a half following watching that episode. This week I learned that it is not, in fact, a made up word. It was actually the word frottage, meaning, "The act of rubbing against the body of another person, as in a crowd, to attain sexual gratification." Dirty, dirty April Tuna. I love it.
Now you all have proof that I spend too much time looking at complete trash online each week. And this is just the stuff that I didn't bookmark!

I get him too. Followed by Meryl Streep. They're both wearing glasses, plus we don't look like either of him, so I think this thing puts a priority on glasses-wearing. Also, my friend Kai gets Beyonce, and she is white and looks sort of like Anne Hathaway if she looks like any celebrity, so...grain of salt, I guess, is what I'm saying.

I don't know why I didn't think of that, Kathy. None of my other lower-percentage matches had glasses, so I didn't even consider it. I tried a photo without glasses, and not only didn't I get that Chester guy, I got all girls (except Elijah Wood, who I maintain is really a girl anyway). Probably because female celebrities don't wear glasses. A much preferred change from before, when I was getting all guys as a match.

I kept getting Ava Gardner, Vivien Liegh, and... get this... Idina Menzel. They were consistently my top 3, but in varying orders depending on which picture I used.
I so don't look like Idina Menzel.

Of course you look like Idina Menzel, bean! After all, all Jews look alike!
Actually, when I used my glasses-free picture, I got Anne Frank a little ways down the list, which boggled my mind, although it shouldn't have.
