perfect afternoon dog duvet - dog duvets

Just ordered a new bed for Tipper. I saw Dooce recommending these beds and I hope they are as great as they seem. They are very inexpensive because you stuff them with your own old towels or clothes. I got Tipper’s bed and the “stuff sack” that goes inside delivered for $33!

This movie looks epic.

Saw this preview for Pirate Radio before Zombieland on Sunday. It looks really great. P.S. Zombieland was awesome!

Interesting article about how the more you want someone to do something, the less likely they are to do it.

Mixed Feelings:

givemesomethingtoread:

For six weird weeks in the fall of 2004, Udo Wächter had an unerring sense of direction. Every morning after he got out of the shower, Wächter, a sysadmin at the University of Osnabrück in Germany, put on a wide beige belt lined with 13 vibrating pads — the same weight-and-gear modules that make a cell phone judder. On the outside of the belt were a power supply and a sensor that detected Earth’s magnetic field. Whichever buzzer was pointing north would go off. Constantly.

(Thanks, Peter Vidani.)

Tried this on at J.Crew today, but they didn’t have my size in the navy. I think it would go well with my gold cardigan. Now I just have to decide if it is worth hand washing…

tipper (via magdela)

Tipper has been being a total ham lately. We took her to the Depot Days town festival in Gainesville last weekend and she got to meet every little kid and several people who had fond memories of terriers from their past. She also managed to eat about her weight in spilled kettle corn that was sprinkled around.
