Macramé Owl – “This organisation is dedicated to saving, rehabilitating and reviving the Macramé Owl.
The Macramé Owl is a rare species that is dreadfully declining in numbers worldwide. This heartbreaking situation is partly due to the difficulty in finding jute at local craft shops. It is further exacerbated by a lack of a sense of humour in humans for the sake of Seriousity.” HA!

Wow. One of the guys who was in the Theater Department with me at Notre Dame – and who was in my group on the London Program, and who once hosted a bitchin’ dorm room party that I attended – is now starring in a new primetime NBC sitcom! Check it out. He looks really different now. Seems to be doing well though. Best of luck, Dan!

Elmo!
“Being Elmo” looks amazing. I didn’t really give Elmo much thought until he (and his puppeteer Kevin) were guests on Rove’s talk show many years back. Man, that guy is insanely talented. When he can make a character seem real enough that kids can suspend disbelief when you can see him, you know he’s got a special talent.

Top Sydney Sourdoughs – Oh man. Sourdough is still my carb-kryptonite. I know I complained when Bourke Street Bakery closed their Broadway location, but let’s be honest. That was probably a very good thing for my waistline.

Garden on the Go – an effort from Indiana University to improve access to affordable fruits and vegetables in “food deserts” in Indiana. They have a truck making rounds in Marion County selling produce in urban areas. That’s brilliant.

I was going to take the compost out to the community bins tonight. Guess not. Sometimes PEOPLE SUCK.
