what is lola doing?

some of you may know our friends stacey and dale (dale is actually joel's frienemy...). well, these 2 tiny people have an adorably tiny little dog named lola.

age: 3 years old
bio: "she is believed to be a rat terrier and chihuaha mix (a rat-cha if you will). she has all kinds of personality some may even say she's a diva."
diet: for breakfast, dry dog food with a scoop of crispix when available, however she prefers honey nut cheerios. her dinner usually includes 2 pieces of turkey pepperoni (watching her calories, it is pool season) and light sprinkle of cheese.

of course, she's a rabid (pun intended) volunteer fan, like any dog with half a brain would be. go vols!

the only thing she loves more than a fresh basket of warm laundry...

...is a nap in her favorite purple blanket. she's a bit of a burrower.

"she loves to snuggle all the time. her favorite spot is on the back of the couch around your neck so she can lay her head on your shoulder while watching the real housewives."

lola is thrilled2tearz to meet you. she loves pen pals, so if you would like to know more about your new four-legged friend, feel free to drop her a line at:

thx stacey, dale, and lola for this candid look into a whimsical puppy life.

alice in wonderland - tim burton style

disney has released a couple of images from the upcoming tim burton directed alice in wonderland. thats johnny depp as the mad hatter, helena bonham carter as the red queen, and anne hathaway (yip yip) as the white queen.

obviously, its going to be a little darker than the already pretty dark animated movie from the past (jabberwocky anyone?). its also concieved as sort of a sequel, telling the story of alice's second coming to wonderland.

so excited.

go get your hat...

and hold the f onto it, because...

and...

xtra-special-thx g.

it stopped raining for 5 seconds on friday night, so we ventured over to our fave litte dump(ling) shop, eton in carroll gardens.

they were delicious obvi.

they also have shaved ice. john got cherry and i got orange.

RIP pretty boy

The steady rain has delayed countless city rituals: barbecues, baseball games, rooftop cocktail parties. Add to the list a funeral, rescheduled twice this week as mourners awaited an outlet for their collective grief.

The deceased: Pretty Boy, the Mayor of East Seventh Street, a dignified white cat who had a confident swagger — and a distaste for rainy weather. Thus the long-delayed memorial service to sprinkle his cremated remains along the path he once strutted. (nytimes)

thx g.

twatter

perez hilton used his twitter account to beg strangers to call the police on will.i.am of the black eyed peas after he supposedly assaulted perez. um...if he could update his twitter, how was he unable to call the cops himself? will.i.am has posted a response to the accusation on you tube. good lord, have some self respect. (LA times)

check out these unemployment-themed buttons. thx nanners.

what is jazzy doing?

checking out markie's new office.

finally!

this just in from a secret source in nashville:

Chipotle has a nice new shiny building permit at 2825 West End Ave, which an astute reader pointed out is the current home of Bittner’s Formal Wear. We went ahead and gave Bittner’s a call, and it is indeed true - They are moving across the parking lot, and Chipotle is taking their place. We hope this means that we could see Chipotle opening their doors before the end of the year, but we’ll have to wait for the official word.

congrats middle tennesseans! you've finally made it!

thx nanners!

guess what!

yesterday was the first day of summer, but today is the first day of WiMbLeDoN!!!
