“Oh, shiny!” -Mayhem
The sign on the wall (click the pic to embiggen) was a gift from my family… Um, thanks?! 😉
Feel the love… Love your Fridays. Always read them. Should let you know more often how much your are appreciated!
Haha, love the translations of Danish cities, I think we have a few more that would work in a funny way, must check. There are a few on there that leaves me blank though, I can’t figure out what city they are talking about, must find a map :p
Chris- Linkity is a huge undertaking, and I for one, wouldn’t know what day of the week it was otherwise.
Love the colour names, and the weird Canada experiences.
No more lurking on Linkity! Especially since I swiped the word for uses. Likeity!
Well at least it doesn’t say your going to become a “mad” cat lady……. erm…. oh no, hang on, that’s a given isn’t it *snickers*
Have a great weekend Chris
A recent post from Kate..Love’s Landscape writing event….
I check you blog every day and Friday Linkity is my favorite.
I have family in the Twin Cities, and although this winter in New York has been the WORST, you all definitely win. (There’s a rumor it’s going back below freezing next week. *sigh*)
It’s convenient for me to be posting when you linked back to me, but I do actually read your linkity posts every week! 🙂
Here are a few things I loved this week!
20 beloved bands, rendered in Lego (with slideshow):

The story of 17-year-old heart transplant candidate Sam Tageson and his one-day contract with the San Jose Sharks this past Tuesday:

Sam’s Instagram photos of the day are here: http://sharks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=710322&navid=TW
Interesting story about the rise of California-born players in the NHL (focusing on Sharks rookie Matt Nieto and his lifelong friendship with
the Anaheim Ducks’ Emerson Etem):

Duck Duck Grey Duck – sheesh. People in Minnesota are wierd. I love the NdeGT with Pluto. There is a good profile of him in the New Yorker in the past couple of weeks. (It’s one of the three still on my kitchen table, so I can’t be more precise.) And I will buy one of the stick family snack stickers if I can. I love it.
Great links once again! I’m totally going to have to try that red pepper and sunflower seed pesto!
Loved the book covers. And the tiny money-counting gnome.
You want us to comment on those nasty boys?
Wow, I hope Spring will come soon in MN, but when it does, it’ll be beautiful.
I hope spring arrives soon for you.
A recent post from sprite..snow day, weekend of friends, and daffodils
Holy F! I need to take pics like those
Ugh for the spring day!
I do like to pick and choose the linkity’s – the book covers gave a good chuckle this week.
Wishing you warmer weather!
Due to the time difference, linkity is a great way to end the work-week for me. I’m always amazed at the amount of linkity you put together.
Chris, you HAVE to get May and Chaos some paints!! 😀
Loved the World Photography Award link but that Barbie sculpture is going to give me nightmares. (probably as bad as the ones you’ll get at the thought of Mayhem & Chaos painting a masterpiece all over your apartment!)
Sorry I haven’t been commenting; things have been stressful.
Those book titles and covers…yowza.
Hope you get spring soon! We’ve had a super warm winter, but no rain. The drought is bad.
Chaos, my mom’s cat follows my mom and the vacuum around the house. I can hear her trash talking you from Wisconsin.
i totally just landed on that scone recipe this week, too! spoooky
I hope spring arrives soon for you (and all my Twin Cities friends). I won’t tell you about the blooming flowers and trees here.
Thanks for your Friday post, I spread the Linkity reading out over the weekend.
I tend to get so caught up in the clicking of the links that I forget to click and comment too. I love your linkities and the saying in your pic.
Winter is Coming! (For me 🙂 So I figure spring is coming for you 🙂
And the dinosaur eating the stick family = hilarious! I. Want.
Ah Chaos, the vacuum cleaner is a hazard…
1. Everybody Poops is an EXCELLENT book, one that every pre-schooler on the planet loves. What 5-yo doesn’t giggle at the word poop?
b. I remember the painting cats book. I think it was based on a website of the same name.
III. Check your email. I have a story.
