RIP John Hughes

August 6, 2009August 6, 2009 | Viciously Sweet

I am so sad for the loss of John Hughes

I learned a lot of things in life from his movies including the following:

Jake Ryan is delicious

Always know who wears the pants in your family

Lying can be fun

he creeps me out… sorry Judd

stay away from bohunks

everyone loves John Cusak

The Donger is Awesome

Family Vacations may kill you

Yes, I do want Diane Sawyer limited edition earrings… Thank you Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Chicago is where dreams come true

why not to use aftershave

and the love of vests

Thank you John Hughes, for all the wonderful things you have taught us… And all the wonderful movies that people will adore forever…the world will not be the same without you.

The Flashy World of Architecture

August 6, 2009September 30, 2013 | Viciously Sweet

I almost died when I found out there were games about architecture online.

There must be some bored architects out there (me included i guess)

And then I found an online paper doll that would explain the world i work in… Architecture with fashion! (Sorry I was asked to unlink this by request)

So I was totally in.

I learned what an eraser is…

I learned what a triangle does…

I learned about T-squares and Trace, and Blue Prints…

I also realized the person who made this flash game knows nothing about architecture post 1974.

But it was fun to make this… which is nearly a replica of what happens at my work:

architecture is fun! — graphic obtained via flash game owned by oyunlar1. I hope this is good enough to give credit to a great graphic designer.

except no Eric, or Dab… and I don’t have that rad kind of view… however the walls are an accurate color.

also note the candles that would set your drawings on fire…

Top 10 T’s

August 5, 2009August 5, 2009 | Viciously Sweet

This is a special countdown for Eric… from 2 cubicles south from this computer…

10. T-Pain

Because he’ll buy you a draaaaaaaaaaank, and then he’ll take you home. Which means he’s an awesome designated driver.

9. Taters

Because everyone likes them. Especially in tot form.

8. Nikki T.

She is the highest on the list from the 909. But her first name has no “T” in it so this is as high as the list could place her.

7. Tubes

They are used for everything… testing, plumbing, vacuum… they are also wicked futuristic.

6.T-shirts

The best article of clothing that starts with “T”.

5.Drinking Tea.

This one was selected by Eric… Eric who likes tea and ladies.

4.T-rex

A large dinosaur with little arms… WIN WIN

3.Mr. T.

Because he pity’s the fool exceptionally well.

2. Tasty Things

Delicious is nice.

1. The Letter “T”

because without the letter “T” this countdown would have no substance… or without a t “subsance”. Nor could I go tee-hee. T you are totally terrific

Honorable Mentions: T-squares, T-ball, and tentacles

and fruity T-loaf???

She’s A Small Wonder

August 5, 2009August 5, 2009 | Viciously Sweet

And she’ll fill your heart with joy!

I used to love this tv show… Vicky was awesome. And easy to relate to due to the fact my mother dressed me like Small Wonder for most of my childhood. That girl who lived next door was creepy though… I still have nightmares about her. She even had creepy hair:

But now i am older and not full of pixie sticks and pop rock i realize having a little girl robot is grossly wrong…

but mostly because of moments like this:

If I had a robot I would want one like this:

And then he could be smart assy and clean the dishes, and have a british accent.

And he’s so adorable.

Top 5 Clay’s

August 4, 2009 | Viciously Sweet

5. Polymer Clay

I believe the world will never be the same because of polymer clay. You can make into everything… from people to fruit, or even clay

4. Jars of Clay

Um I don’t really listen to them.. but they have a greatest hits so… that must mean they are RAD!!!

3. Henry Clay

Slick founder of the Whig Party, as well as secretary of State. He was known as the “Great Pacifier” and “The Great Compromiser”… which is pretty freaking great. He was in a close tie with our # 2 spot… but unfortunately his last name is clay… not his first, so #3 is his spot
