weapons of massdistraction

For today yet another list of things that tickle my fancy, because my brain isn’t operating on any other level.

• I found a kraken tattoo that I may like even more than my own. See the bottom left image, under Works on Skin. Gorgeous.
• Season two of Pushing Daisies premieres Wednesday night. To build some buzz about the show ABC created a mobile version of Ned’s bakery, to give out free baked goods. Minneapolis/St. Paul was not a tour stop but I doubt they’d have vegan offerings anyhow. But they do have a twitter account.
• It’s time for the little man to get another pair of shoes. When looking for non-leather kids’ shoes I saw the usual Skechers, but also this Japanese brand with a “Green Tea infused anti-bacterial, removable insole.” Crazy. And I want these Asics for myself. But I’m trying to behave. Not easy to do when friends send me links to more vegan shoe sites that I didn’t know about.
• TrueBlood really is all that. Believe it. I’ve watched the first four episodes and have a hankering for more.
• Just became aware of tethered shooting - the kind done with a computer, a camera and a USB cable - but no memory card.

Bonus: Being as it’s the last day of September, the boy has settled on Halloween costume ideas for the two of us. The Wonder Twins plan has fallen by the wayside (which is probably for the best). In its place? He will be Harry Potter while I will be Hedwig. His owl. Yep.
Plus: Torn between seeing The Visitor at my favorite second run theater, and Choke at the expensive first run theater. Please vote.
And: Already have some fun activities lined up for the weekend with the lad, like going to a big bonfire. And some friends putting on an all ages show at Eclipse. And we’re going back to the Children’s Theatre again - this time for Madeline and the Gypsies. I’m excited because Circus Juventas is involved.
