stand

I'm not sure why a sentient lump of tofu is interested in holding my phone for me but here you go, buddy, go nuts.

I have come up with so many creative and inventive ways to get my cell phone to stand up properly so I can watch videos. If only I had a friendly bear to take care of that for me.

This cake makes me think of the book "Afternoon of the Elves" by Janet Talyor Lisle which I read when I was only 11. It's reminiscent of a girl in boots that are too big who spends all her time building houses for elves out of leaves in her back yard. But now she's all grown up and getting married to an equally elvin man and they are having a simple barefoot wedding in the woods.

Thank you, little plastic man, for bearing the burden of my social networks, Netflix, Pandora, Angry Birds and Texts From Last Night. I know it's a lot to handle.

I imagine it would take a tremendous effort to restrain myself enough to get chips onto these little trees without eating them all first. Let's just say that's possible and move on. Any party with chip trees is probably the best party ever. Please invite me.

Imagine the awesome patterns if you dropped him off the table onto a big sheet of paper?

You don't need a doctorate to look like the smartest person your friends have ever met, you just need a really cool lamp.

Oh now that's just not nice, what did Hello Kitty ever do to you?

I'm a sucker for old school ceramic match strikers. Updated for our modern nostalgia!
