when the lights go down in the city

On A Lighter Note

If I were in the office today, I would lead an impromptu dance party to this song I just found on art's blog. As it is, I will have to settle for an impromptu dance party in my home office.

Our Six Apart Holiday Video from last year still holds up! Anil, you've got to do another one this year.

Planet Unicorn + ANTM

Jay reminded me about the Planet Unicorn series, so I had to catch up on the latest episodes. This episode about "America's Next Top Model" is my new favorite:

Marimba Ponies!

I was feeling a little stressed out just now, but then Jeff sent me this with the description "next tour opener". And I felt a whole lot better.

Chihuahua Friday!

I'm declaring today Chihuahua Friday.

First Lilia suggested this awesome photo for the [this is good] box, and I couldn't resist. (See more chihuahua goodness on Myla's blog.)

Then Steve brought Rudy to work which is always a delight. I made sure to wear a black sweater for maximum shedding effectiveness.

Finally, I have a chihuahua video to share. When my dear friend Laurie was in town a few weeks ago, we stopped by my friend Blakely's store R.A.G. (anyone in SF must visit the store - she carries only local designers) and then we went to see Blakely's new apartment and of course her chihuahua, my beloved Chupa. As you can see, Chupa and I go way back:

Blakely was telling us how Chupa had learned to walk on his hind legs for treats. She got out a piece of delicious cheese so Chupa could show us his trick, and we were amazed! Then Laurie asked her to do it again so she could videotape Chupa with her phone. This is what Laurie captured.

I assure you it was a total accident, and no chihuahuas were harmed in making the video! It's like seeing someone trip - at first you're worried to make sure they're OK, and once you know they weren't hurt it's sometimes really really hard not to laugh a little!

On SFist

My cohorts at SFist continue their fantastic Newsom coverage as usual, but I had to share this news clip that features our editor Jon. It may have been overshadowed by the latest scandal, but this is worth your 5 minutes even if you don't care about San Francisco politics. Trust me, this will make you laugh, especially if you've ever commented on a blog post before.

Also, read my When The Lights Go Down In They City column for this week and squint real hard in the back of February's issue of Spin Magazine and you may be able to read my name.
