forget anti-wrinkle Q10 Nivea Regenerist age-defying supercream....

Do this instead. Save yourself a lot of money. May I present ... "The Lion"

boy + questionable taste = opportunity

Your boyfriend got you a present. You didn't like it...but accepted it anyway. And you've since broken up. What to do?! Throwing it away would be just plain stupid...no problem, here's the solution: Ex-Boyfriend Jewelry . With a tag-line like "You Don't Want It. He Can't Have It Back", this site is sure to raise a little smile. Now you can offload your "gifts" with a clear conscience. Don't forget to post a catty story to go with the item...

I wonder what would happen if everyone did this? Took a polaroid every day, each day of their life. Jamie Livingston got up to 6,697.

Bored? Got Sharpies? and a car? Then...why not give your car a tattoo with a Sharpie? Just don't get bored half-way through...

And if that hasn't cured your boredom, then get Etch-a-Sketch'in with GPS. DHL did it. Mercedes did it. Now it's your turn.

useless heroes

any thing that uses the word "doppeluseless" deserves a mention - and it's this blog, the wonderful Superuseless Superpowers. My personal favourite is the Complementary Chameleon...

green + art

Reverse Graffiti.

A Living Carpet.

Then you get bored and think 'what the hell', i'll combine the two.

Graffiti Moss.
Who knew?

two guys.
two sets of interesting facial furniture.
one rap ... about ordering healthy drive-thru from McDonald's.
Brilliant.

BCN

sometimes, once the rain has come and gone, all you need to cheer you up and get you back into that sunshinestate mentality is a bit of colour. thankyou, random plastic chairs.

unusual jobs (2)

I don't think I'm alone in not even realising certain jobs existed, until some online magazine runs a special on them. The Sex-Doll Repairman is definitely one of them.

shortcuts

Whilst there are a lot of things in this modern day and age that claim to make your life that little bit easier - and actually don't - however, here's a quick and simple guide if you're thinking of renting a movie: If Movie Posters Were Honest

fujiya & miyagi

staying on the theme of wicked music videos, fujiya & miyaga have some great ones.
if you have around 1000 dice and an artistic streak, you too could try re-creating Ankle Injuries.
Or if you're a fan of taking things literally, Knickerbocker might be more up your street.
to finish, a little bit of beautifully illustrated whimsy from labelmates Psapp: About Fun .

the art of a great music video

this beautiful cartoon, done by Joel Trussell, is simply lovely to look at. The music (by the Atomic Swindlers) does indeed float over you as watch robo-owl save the day.

cash-trashing

As the value of money changes around 367 times a minute (just a guess), perhaps now it's time to value those colourful pieces of paper that can buy you things as a creative outlet for your existential angst at world economic systems, capitalism and those who still harbour warm feelings for Milton Friedman. Or you could just draw prettty pictures. Up to you.

the wonder boner

the wonder boner. definitely at the top of my 

christmas list for next year....on account of the

name alone.

how to (2)

Some 'How-to's' to see you through the next few months. Sometimes, I can't believe people have to even write these 'how-to' guides; for example, in this one : "How to avoid looking like an American Tourist" , one sage piece of advice is, "don't wear your camera round your neck." Or, a favourite, "eat local food". What are these people doing in a country if they're not even going to try the food?! Why bother.
On a completely unrelated topic, how about How To Hunt for an Apartment in NYC ?
And maybe a bit late, since the festive season is already over/coming to a close...."How To Deal With Relatives You Hate" . Wise words indeed.
