Hawaii, by Glass Beef

The girl in the band is Charlyne Yi. You know, the awesome weird stoner girl in Knocked Up.

Mollie Katzen no longer a vegetarian? Weird.

Even chef Mollie Katzen, author of the vegetarian bible the Moosewood Cookbook, is experimenting with meat again. "For about 30 years I didn’t eat meat at all, just a bite of fish every once in a while, and always some dairy," she says. "Lately, I’ve been eating a little meat. People say, ‘Ha, ha, Mollie Katzen is eating steak.’ But now that cleaner, naturally fed meat is available, it’s a great option for anyone who’s looking to complete his diet. Somehow, it got ascribed to me that I don’t want people to eat meat. I’ve just wanted to supply possibilities that were low on the food chain."

2 covers of Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable” on youtube you may enjoy

I hardly ever watch a music video from an actual band anymore. The ones on youtube with the people sitting in their bedrooms covering pop songs are so much better. I like the first video better. Not as polished as the second (she’s actually in a band that has a ton of other people covering her songs on youtube) but so charming.

Arrow Bicycles

Don posted a link in the comments about his latest bike obsession, Arrow Bikes, a Japanese company that makes some fine, crush-worthy bikes:

My, she’s yar…(to misquote the Philadelphia Story). I’d really like one of those also. Looking around the Japanese website, I noticed this attachment they sell:

You attach it to the back of a bike and:

You can pick up girls! Or I guess give a friend a ride. It’s like a really old-school Segway scooter. That’s so simple and brilliant. 

Thrifting

At lunch I popped into the Goodwill and walked out about 4 bucks lighter, with a James Kochalka book and a collection of short stories by Shirley Jackson. I usually never see graphic novels at a thrift store. Best thrift store finds in a long time.

The first two links sent to me this morning via chat

This:

OSSINING, N.Y. (AP) — A bald man went into a pharmacy and stole
five bottles of a hair loss treatment but was caught while running
away, police said.

And this:

It’s a tale straight out of Disney – an abandoned baby monkey, close to death, is revived by the love of a bird.

The 12-week-old macaque
was rescued on Neilingding
Island, in Goangdong Province,
China, after being
abandoned by his mother.

I’m pretty sure they are just combining random animals in China to see if they will hug so they can be featured on Yahoo’s "most emailed" photo page.
