Hi, all you animal lovers.
The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals.
It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box ‘fund food for animals’ for free. This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their...
Tip of the day?
I’m doing a research project on nutrition right now for the office and just learned that if you shop on only the outside aisles of grocery stores you can conveniently and naturally detoxify your system. Apparently the more processed foods are always placed in center aisles. Neat stuff.

Cat in the Hat
hydeordie:
My coworker and I are talking about how ridiculous we found the Cat in the Hat to be when we were young. I was entirely too practical as a child to be able to grasp the idea of some liquid substance that would bounce off of one thing to catch on to the other.
Right now I am watching Season 3 of the X-Files on DVD and this is essentially the same plot in several of the story arc...

The Internet and the Overshare pt. 2
Recently my friends and I have had our blogs and media-related occupations put on blast by the rest of the attendees to the internet party. While it may have freaked me out, a big cyber high-five goes out to Jess for her very green post that warmed the hearts of both Gawker and New York Magazine alike. Despite playing both hands (with the woes of the jaded New Yorker and the innocence of the...

Honestly, I’m just surprised Simko didn’t tumble this first.
WatchI am only familiar with the lip dub craze because sometimes evidence of it is sprinkled within the unfolding drama that is Julia Allison’s internet space. While I always wondered why she, and so many others, were so fascinated with recording their mouths moving, this Lopdub (lodwick + lipdub?) is completely inspiring. (Well, as long as the passengers behind him are just that and not...
So my comments option is temporarily frozen so that none may be deleted. This is due to potential legal action being taken against a certain label as their staff members have agglomerated and released my personal contact information to their fans for dissing one of their artists on MTV. Both the label’s representatives and their artists have sent me death threats that have increasingly...

A white guy from Westchester who attends Wesleyan University and flashes the Wu Tang symbol in his default photo just sent me a facebook message accussing me for contributing to “the problem of gentrification.” Thanks, “Josh Smith.”

Go Swish
NY Clothing Swap… or Swish
Futerra will be hosting a clothing swap party (aka Swishing party) tomorrow here in New York.
Swishing is essentially a clothing swap party, where you bring clothing you no longer need and you get a free pass to snag other guests’ clothing. It’s a great way to refresh your wardrobe without any cost or harm to the environment. Who says being green...
