Patrolling the Internet for interesting photos can be fun and quite an adventure. Then something like this pops up:
Words cannot explain how interesting this is.
Your guess is as good as ours.
Happy Monday folks.
Last Friday afternoon I developed an earache that I tried to ignore but couldn’t.
No way can I get sick. It’s finals and I have a blog post to write.
I came home to keep warm and to doctor myself up with some home brew. I’ve been in bed all weekend with a hideous cold and cough with no trips out and about to find anything to write about. All I’ve done is drink gallons of ginger tea.
So here is the recipe that is sure to cure.
Step 1: Slice up an enormous root of ginger. Do not peel.
Step 2: Heat in water till boiling then turn down to simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 3: Juice a whole lemon into a mug.
Step 4: Add a big spoon of honey.
Step 5: Fill the mug with the hot ginger water and stir.
There you have it — an amazing cup of home brew ginger tea.
A couple of weeks ago I was severely rear-ended by a car full of highway to hell teenage girls — and boy did they hit us hard in their Acura. Incidentally, their car ended up underneath the back end of my shiny silver SUV. My front end was crunched into the concrete divider. I got out of the car to see the Acura occupants filming the whole thing on their cell phones. I’m sure there must be a video of my meltdown on Park Presidio somewhere on the Internet. Luckily nobody was hurt from the crash — or my meltdown.
My SUV was totalled and now starts the hideous mission to buy a new car. The thought of car showrooms and, more importantly, car salesmen drive me into a state of complete despair. These days, I can buy anything on Earth without having to deal with a real salesperson or even having to move from the comfort of my computer screen. So why not a car? Can someone please invent a car vending machine?

Last week as I lay comatose on my couch, I switched on the television — something I never do. I was soon sucked into the world of Montel Williams preparing juices for a group of children who refuse to eat their vegetables.
Montel pulverizes a few carrots, some spinach and a hand full of blueberries and the kids drink down the juice.
YUM!
The moms smile knowing their kids will grow up healthy and strong while gazing adoringly at Montel. Well he is rather dishy isn’t he?
The magical Montel Williams
I thought that this was great television, unaware that somewhere a marketing genius was rubbing her hands in delight as I fall deeper under Montel’s spell, oblivious to fact that I was in the world of television shopping.

There are those of us who actually care about it, and those of us who could care less, but whether you like it or not, it is here: Twilight fever.
With Eclipse, the third film in the franchise, making millions of dollars in theaters it’s only natural that we put up something on Fashion School Daily to draw all you “Twi-hards” to our blog (hey, at least we’re being honest). That said, there are millions of “fashion products” (emphasis on the quotation marks) that are being churned out in honor of this film, and we decided to give you the BEST one out there:
Paying homage to the song, “Relax” by mid ’80s dance pop group, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the shirt uses the emotion-controlling vampire, Jasper in a very clever way…or kitschy, depending on how you look at it.
If you’re interested, you can purchase the shirt at CafePress.com

Being from Wisconsin (the land of bratwurst) and of half German descent, I love me some sausage! So when I heard that a new salcisseria, The Dogfather, opened in North Beach, I was first in line. Well, not quite, but it did make my “Spring Break To-Do List.” To get in the mood, I tossed on a shirt with ketchup-colored stripes.
I wandered in to find Ke$ha tunes blasting from a boombox on the counter and a set of moose antlers on the wall.
Not quite what I expected.
I examined the menu, which was full of more inventive hot dog topping combinations than I knew existed. Finally, I settled on the ‘Little P’ which featured an Italian sausage on a gourmet looking bun with onions, chili, cheese, and bacon.
I settled at a table and realized I was the only person in the place. I was excited to see they had a table top PacMan game – which was out of order. The arcade machine at my table was out of order too. And the one at the next table had a jammed quarter slot. No game, but here comes my sausage!
The ingredients seemed super fresh, but on the whole, the ‘Little P’ seemed a little blah. However, there are loads of other sausage sandwich combos to try, so I think the place is worth visiting if you find yourself in North Beach at 2 a.m. Except, I forgot to check and see if the place is open at 2 a.m. – but I know Golden Boy Pizza next door is open late!
