holiday squid

I found this picture at http://kasei.us/

I think we should replace santa with a christmas squid for sure. Think how many presents the tentacles could hold (the wrapping paper might get a little soggy, though).

sweet shirt from the deep!

This is a picture of a shirt that my lovely friend, Bala, gave me this past summer. It is so good that the normally surly kid at the ice cream place I go to complimented me on it. It is from threadless.com*
(*Beer not included with shirt purchase.) Thanks, Bala!

octopus chop!

My friend Richey came to visit in late October and brought AN AMAZING BIRTHDAY PRESENT! While she was at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, she had an artist make a "chop" for me. I.E. a totally awesome stamp. The "g" is the first letter of my last name.


Thanks, Richey!

rad cephalopod skateboards.

a while back, my friend had a skateboard in the trunk of his car. He pulled it out and I attempted to skateboard on it (with poor results). Which for some reason has caused me, weeks later, to do a search on cephalopod related skateboards. I also included a french octopus skateboarding poster--I think it's the best part.

why is this woman so happy?

Apparently, double fisting dead octopuses at a Madrid seafood market is the path to happiness (and a Christmas tradition). I'm going to go try it.
