Write For Rat
I’ve contributed to Lost At E Minor about the events of others, but I’m now shamelessly self-promoting a little contest I call Write for a Rat. The rules? Share your favorite rat story (as in vermin, not jerks) as a comment on Brooklyn Reject for a chance to win one of my embroidered canvases, ‘Rat With Wings’. I mean, c’mon, folks! Who out there doesn’t want that on his/her wall?! Hurry, as the contest ends February 28th.

Don’t Talk To The Police: talk by former criminal attorney
Trust your local cops? Not according to one law school professor and former criminal defense attorney who gives an entire lecture on why none of us should ever talk to the police. It’s worth a watch.
Stephanie Tichenor’s works in fiber and paint are delightful. In the difficult, often frightening world we live in, it’s a treat to see art concerned with whimsy, light and a genuine love for the everyday. Pay close close attention to Tichenor’s embroideries: they are lovely and blur the line between fine art and craft. Read more

HAVE YOUR SAY
Michael Caines’ hysterically weird paintings and drawings of political figures don’t have an easily discernible political message other than pointing to the absurd, decadent pageantry that is politics. Read more
This is a fully functional Rubiks Cube designed by Jason Freeny in the form of a brain. I really really want one.
Oh man, what I wouldn’t give to be able to sing like Neil Finn. His voice rasps with all the sincerity and integrity of a thousand heartfelt melodies. Heck, I’d probably trade my prized collection of Archie comics for just the chorus on this song. Driving Me Mad? You betcha(dupa). This man is a treasure. Bow low indeed.
A colonial-style fishing village on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua, San Juan Del Sur is becoming a popular tourist location but has remained largely unspoiled by the tourist dollar. Read more
Ah, ok, now there is officially a Tumblr for everything. Celebrity Cats features, wait for it, photos of celebrities with their feline companions. And lots of them, too. Read more
Hmmm, I don’t know if it’s the extra strong coffee I’m gulping down, or that faintest slither of feel good sunshine that’s creeping through the blinds, but this song is making me feel mildly euphoric, and that kinda works right now. Play it loud. Play it through headphones. And imagine you’re decked out in day glo polyester with a dramatic burst of velvet lining. Damn, my feet just can’t stop from dancin’.

A little infectious lollipop rock anyone? Feel free to embarrass yourself singing along at the stoplight. If the other drivers give you that look, roll down the windows and spread the love.
