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.

Great White Sharks are exactly like Jeffrey Dahmer except they have fins and swim in the ocean and use their jagged gaping jaws as weapons, says a new report from scientists who were never heard from again. (gawker)

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)

funemployment

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!!!

zoo tour, part six

as you can see from my previous posts... the zoo tour was a resounding success. i saw giant deer, cats, bears, gators, dumbos, and a whole host of other creepy crawlies and animals of land and sea. the following are some remainders that i wanted to share to wrap up the zoo tour series. enjoy!

here is a romp of otters that we fed. they each get a frozen crab leg, and the only trouble comes if one greedy otter tries to take more than his fair share. we held holly's purse open to see if any of the otters wanted to jump in and come home with us, but no such luck.

here is another shot of that bustard from earlier. its like 4 feet tall... scary right? just when you think youve got a lock on one, turn your head and a different one will be coming up at you from the side. you know what i mean.

louisiana swamp monster. ctm.

majestic lionness. she was a big ass pussy. theyve got two girls and boy, but the boy is new and he doesnt play well with the gals. it was so weird to look into her eyes, and see the calculating going on, like she is trying to figure out how to eat your FACE.

hope you enjoyed the zoo tour as much as i did! xoxoxoxo

a big 2Pz thanks to holly, john, and JERRY!
