Something fishy
For too long, most of us have been stuck with goldfish – or perhaps the slightly more upmarket Siamese fighting fish – as friends. Sure, they’re pretty and they swim around, probably wondering why on earth there is a strange castle or cactus or volcano in their tank. And in fairness, Siamese fighting fish are pretty bad ass, almost certain to kill their fishy neighbours if you don’t keep a wall between them. But now I’ve seen this amazing Desktop Jellyfish Tank, by Jellyfish Art (thanks Fab.com) and there is no going back to goldfish. You get 3 ‘Moon Jellyfish’, six months of food, an LED tank light that changes colour (giving the tank a disco vibe) and a heap of other complicated sounding stuff. They note that Moon Jellyfish don’t sting, although I’m not sure that you should be getting them out to play very often. The downside – I don’t know how long they live, you probably can’t pick a favourite as they all look the same and you can’t make eye contact with them. But they are very cool – like little ghosts of the sea, trick or treating around the tank.
Uh huh
Barking mad
It’s probably a bit of a worry that this obscure video popped into my head today, over one year after the story first appeared on tv. Maybe it was because I had to sit through a meeting with an idiot for more than an hour this afternoon and I only wish I could have interrupted his ramblings with something like this. Sure, not entirely professional – but it’d be memorable and would definitely have stopped him talking. Inspiring stuff – there should be more of it, I say!
Life-changing necklaces
So we all heard about how Angelina used to wear that vial of Billy Bob’s blood around her neck – soooo romantic. But if you don’t have a significant other / blood donor, what can you wear instead of silver or gold to make yourself stand out from the crowd? Sure, some hep cats try leather or studded dog collars or even new-age fooey crystals. But today I’ve found something even better – plants. Yep, you can turn your neck into a little nursery with these amazing ‘wearable planters’ by Colleen Jordan (thanks Fab.com). Presumably, it’ll help if you’re a sad sort of person, prone to outbursts of tears to keep your little plant watered. I’m easily inspired, so the HBS (hair brained scheme) that I draw from this is the limitless potential for funk-tional neckwear… If I could work out a way to make a small oven that looks fashionable and warms, rather than burns, the wearer – hello, on-the-go baking of teeny tiny cookies! Or a small freezer that doesn’t turn the wearer into an eskimo (sorry, I think there’s a new politically correct term for the people we knew as eskimoes, but I don’t recall what it is) – hello, portable teeny tiny ice blocks for summertime fun! Or, pending RSPCA approval, what about a portable kennel for your teeny tiny designer colloodle or labhuahua – hello, overpriced & peculiar looking precious pet on the move! That’s it, I’m heading for my craft box – this idea is a good ‘un…
