salt shaker

This window popped up while I was searching Crate and Barrel's site, so I filled in the title instead of that search window--jerks. I need a new salt shaker b/c my plastic Hello Kitty one leaped off the kitchen table the other day and broke. As my mom would say, Be careful! It's only plastic!
Also, I'd like to say that I had nothing to do with the salt shaker's untimely demise. Nothing at all, tra la la.
Billboard, October 15.

• I like these, but they don't really work with anything else I have. They're too modern, especially if I ever get around to that orange paint job and perhaps a cabinet re-do.
• As if Ricky Martin isn't 2000 enough on his own, he's got a faux-hawk in this picture. I'm really hoping this is an old picture, and he doesn't think this is still hip.
• These match the other cannisters I use that aren't my cool Kromex ones, but they're boring, too.
• This is a boring issue so far, so I think I'll just write about my search for a new salt shaker.
• I'm on the Williams-Sonoma site right now.
• I want!
• Would make an awesome purse.
• Remember those plastic McDonald's buckets? I carried one of those as a purse for a time in high school. I think it was the ghost.
• I'm a sucker for glow-in-the-dark shit, what can I say?
• Oh, Library of Congress American Memory Project, how do I love thee?
• Let me count the ways...
• Seriously, so super fun and full of random history--my favorite kind!
• I love these guys, but there's no fuckin' way I'm spending $75 on a salt shaker.
• 
• That picture's from www.loc.gov, too. I did a search for ladies' hankies (or something like it), and some great shit, including this one.
• She's actually in a database of convicted murderesses.
• How does a 6th grader not know what an astrologer is!?
• Sorry, random weird reference moment.
• I wonder if Martha has a salt shaker for me...
• I heart Martha so much!
• Too bad her Apprentice kinda sucks.
• Actually, it's mostly just been boring when I've watched.
• Or maybe it's that stripey scarf going on at the same time distracting me.
• There's a band called The Greenhornes touring with the White Stripes.
• Who's a greenhorn?
• What's a greenhorn?
• The AOL top song is "My Humps".
• I swear, that fucking song is STALKING me.
• Stalking, I tell you.
• I blame Stacey, myself.
• and I didn't realize it was the Black Eyed Peas, who I always thought of as deeper than that.
• Without, of course, actually ever listening to them.
• Everything I know about them, incidentally, I learned through osmosis from living in Philadelphia.
• Damn, now I've got Humps in my head.
• Hate.
• I like this a lot, but who are we kidding?
• We all know I'm so much more the paper-towel-as-napkin sort.
• This is the most amazing band PR sentence I've heard in a while: "The three Hume brothers who form Evermore grew up in a New Zealand farmhouse so isolated that their only musical esxposure was their parents' '60s record collection."
• And they're cute, too!
• Now to find out what records their parents actually owned, before I try to, you know, actually listen to them.
• Let's see what my best friend Target has for me by way of a salt shaker...
• Wolfmother is not the name of an Australian band. It is the name of a Japanese band.
• And then, on the next page? 1/2 ad for Jet.
• I hate Jet.
• They're not even remotely attractive, either, so I really don't understand their popularity.
• Target is boring so far, but I still have hope.
• Ugly is the new AMAZING.
• Seriously, I want that.
• How kickass would that be in a 70s orange kitchen!?
• Can I say it?
• kitsch-en!
• hee
• What's that other place, that isn't Crate and Barrel or William-Sonoma?
• Oh, Pottery Barn!
• I wonder what they have...
• Still on Target's site, though.
• This Danger Doom Cartoon Network album sounds promising.
• Oh, like I'm not going to be all over a song called "Space Ho's", where, according to Billboard, "MF Doom challenges Space Ghost for his talk-show throne."
• These are adorable, but how do they stand up?
• And they're web only, so I can't go in and look at them, either.
• Grrr
• Well, this magazine thinks Liz Phair's new album is "more repectable than" the last one, which is a good thing, right?
• Also says it's kinda boring.
• I just wanna hear the new version of "Can't Get Out of What I'm Into", which was one of my faves from the Girlysounds Tapes.
• Not that I can listen to them anymore or anything.
• I really need to find someone with them on cd.
• Anybody?
• Bueller?
• Pixies DVD: "Offstage footage is scarce, but includes amusing clips of the band touring Disneyland and eating Thanksgiving dinner together."
• I'd like to see that.
• Probably wouldn't top my soul mate and the rest of Belle & Sebastian covering "The Kids Are Alright", though.
• It is, after all, my very favorite Who song.
• And what will play at the party if I ever get married.
• Individual pumpkin soup tureens! I need!
• AW.
• Will Fred Flare solve my problem, or just make me want more random useless crap than I already do?
• PLUSH MILK!!!!!
• Or perhaps both.
• These are so pretty. I look at them all the time, but if there's one thing I really don't need, it's more plates.
• Maybe they'll be another cute shaker at www.sanrio.com?
• eeeeeeeeeeee!
• But, regrettably, not what I'm looking for.
• Even if I am always looking for cute potmitts.
• I know, I know: I'm weird.
• Shut up, okay?
• Let's try Kawaii's site, kay?
• This is probably my favorite store, ever.
• Everytime I go home, Lara and I go here and spend, like, hours, calling across the store to each other and giggling. It's the perfect place for that.
• Mom also buys me lots of presents from here, because she knows I'm insane.
• And, as a special bonus, there's a picture of the owner with Michael Stipe on their home page--YAY!
• 
• I just had to share that. So cute!
• This is really cute, too.
• Caaaaaaaaaaaara, what's the brand of that weird toothpick man you bought me? I bet he's got a fun saltshakery friend.
• Paul Frank for Andy Warhol!?
• No one ever tells me anything.
• OK, a google of "orange toothpick man" is getting me shit.
• Time for home!
