Oh snaps.

Welcome to the internets. Where most of you spend countless hours during the week. We get paid to sit in front of the computer and pretend to do work, but really, we're finding out what Lindsay Lohan had for breakfast and googling awkward pictures of cats. Here's a toast (a blog toast because drinking is NOT allowed during work...) to all of you 40 hours a week craftsmen. Because let's be honest, we are all craftsmen. Do you know how hard it is to quickly exit a facebook browser?

HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR!

SO GLAD this year is over.  Change is good - always remember!  Be merry, be happy, be safe!  Have a good one friends - see you in 2012!

I would enjoy this at work.

Russell Brand files for divorce

I mean...we all saw this coming.  C'mon.  There should be a law that says celebrities can't get married.

Cover of Skinny Love

I wasn't expecting much from X-Factor contestant Drew, but this is really good! I love me a good cover...

WOW MOM WOW

Fucking amazing!

Well this is awkward.

I think Sara is a Feminist...

Just sayin'.

AHAHAHAHA


It says
"Dear Mrs. Jones,
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been an exotic dancer.  I work at Home Depot and i told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit.  I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room and that several people were fighting over who would get it.  her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole.  It's supposed to depict me selling the last shovel we had at Home Depot.  From now on I will remember to check her homework more."

Thank you!

Scrubs Reunited

Love Zach Braff and Donald Faison!  Check out their cover of "Baby it's cold outside."  They are BFFs in real life - this pleases me.

Bicycle Drug Deal

A man was recently stopped at 2:30am while riding his bike in South Pasadena for not having proper reflectors. Not only did this guy disobey the rules of the road - but he was also carrying 23lbs of marijuana in an Igloo cooler....whoopsies.




Add this to the collection -

Someone get me this Pasta Bowtie!  I'd die.

The past 100 years

Have 10 minutes?  You should definitely check out this video reflecting back on the last 100 years...
It's almost 2012 fools - WTF!

Your hipster dose of the day.

You're welcome.

#DieHardWhiteSoxFanProblems

Umm...she's like 6.  And she FREAKS out about getting a Cubs present instead of a White Sox one.  I mean, I know how she feels.  When I was 13 my mom got me the wrong Spice Girl doll and I threw the biggest tantrum!

Aries are bad news.

This is a ranking of criminals (in Ontario, Canada) by their Zodiac signs...

So proud to be an Aries right now - WATCH OUT.

Dancing Eyebrows

This is...impressive? Either way it blows the lid off my talent of being able to wiggle my ears.




Wanna come to my DJ night?

Umm...pretty fucking accurate if you ask me!

New Years Eve Plans - GET IT.

Sounds about right...

The time has come!

Holler at your girl!  Willow Smith is baaaaaaaack BITCHES.  I'm so fucking happy right now!  PS I've been youtubing Chris Brown Dougie videos for the past hour.  WORK.  WOW.

Overheard in a text

Corey:  Kylie Jenner just took our spot as we pulled out of the Calabasas Mall.  In her brand new Range Rover.  Of course I'm in Calabasas for one hour and I see a fucking Kardashian.

Unwelcome Guest

This man in Salt Lake City got a very surprising visitor on Christmas Eve....No big. Just a deer. In your bedroom.


 I'm not sure what's worse....in-laws or a deer? 


Bro King

This guy takes the cake as the ultimate dude. Not only was he a well respected British Royal Marine - but in the event that he didn't make it back from Afghanistan, he left over $161,000 for his friends to use for an epic weekend in Vegas...and $80,000 for charity.


You sir, are the most upstanding gentleman of 2011.


Well that's awkward...

Old woman tries to dubstep

Wait.  This is what I look like when I attempt to dubstep.

Ouch.

Like a fucking boss...

Oh hey Justin Timberlake,

More of this: (This is his new protege Freesol...we'll take what we can get!)



And less of this PLEASE.

Drake does Karaoke

Of course he does his own song. I always told myself if I ever had an album, I would blast in my car and constantly sing it out loud! Good job Drake!

Checkin' herself out in the mirror

We all do this - this girl just started a little young!

The 90's.

Summed up.

Spreading Holiday Cheer

I dare you to be upset while looking at these pictures....

Farewell Corey!

Corey has 24 hours left on this American soil.  It is with pleasure and honor that I wish my best friend a safe and fun filled journey with her boyfriend and my good friend Daniel.  I love the both of you so stinkin' much and although these next few months will be tough without your company, I can't wait to hear about your RADventures and am so excited that you guys get to do what all of us want to do - quit your jobs and see the world.



Corey and I started WorkItLA a little over a year ago.  We both worked b o r i n g jobs and needed something to keep us awake for 40 hours a week.  I would have never thought it would blow up the way it did.  Thank you for being my partner in crime!  Moving here from Seattle, I didn't have a lot of friends.  Corey - you are my LA family and I can't imagine lasting here without you.  I'm going to miss buying 50 piece chicken McNuggets with you, going to Jack in the Box at 3am, Tea Pot shots, hanging out with your roommates AKA your parents, g-chatting all day everyday, dancing to Spice Girls, looking at pictures of Zac Efron...when you get back, the summer will be ours!  A summer filled with hot dogs and potato salad :)

On that note, Welcome to the fold fulltime Keripedia!


Corey and Daniel - BON FUCKING VOYAGE.  I LOVE YOU!!!


Uzbekistan upgraded!

Get your escalator on yo!  Too bad they have no idea how to use it...

OMG THIS HAPPENED TO ME.

"How should I know the password?  I haven't inputted it since 2007!!" - my dad.

Shit Asian Girls Say

I think I said half of these in the past week...wow.

Riley is going to be very successful one day.

Listen to her rant about how toys are marketed towards boys and girls...

DJ Earworm does it again!

Here's his 2011 mix to ring in the new year.  If you don't know, DJ Earworm grabs samples of every hit song and puts it into one...

Wow...this is pretty creative.

Try and guess what this ad is about. Guarantee you won't know until the very last second...

Katy Perry is the breast

Watch as she molds her big tatas for the Keep A Breast Foundation to benefit breast cancer.  Who are the weirdos that purchase these molds?

Record Cover Covers

AMAZING.









Kim Kardashian's next victim

Just kidding, it's just Santa!  I'm still adjusting to getting back to work...I apologize in advance.   PS It looks like Santa's leg is hurting a little from that KardASSian.

I wish...

...this were real.

Be Thankful in 2011

As 2011 comes to an end I think there's one thing we can all be thankful for:

The Gosling.

Here's to the many themed tumblrs of Ryan Gosling...







Insults from the 1800's

In need of some new insults for annoying family members this Holiday season? Take a cue from the insults of the 1800's!

I'll start: "Get back in the kitchen you beslubbering, elf-skinned moldwarp!!"

I knew it...

Women Share First Kiss at Navy Homecoming

This is history in the making folks!  My heart just melted a little.  Marissa Gaeta kissed her girlfriend of 2 years Citlalic Snell for the Navy's tradition of "Homecoming."  They choose a couple to feature and this year it was a lesbian couple!  Way to go Navy!  Please...ask...and tell.  This is amazing...

Home for the holidays...

I just got home yesterday.  It's my first time being in my hometown since last Christmas.  Let me tell you what I've done so far (it's riveting!).

- Eat
- Sleep
- Work
- Eat
- Sleep
- Facebook
- Eat

Suffice to say, it's been GREAT.  The picture below is something that would make the news in my hometown.  Just sayin'.

Korean Kids Sing Bowie

This is, hands down, my favorite video of the week. Watch these adorable Korean kids sing David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' while a cartoon shows the lyrics and their teacher accompanies them on the guitar. I'm obsessed.

Walked a Thousand Miles Blues

This one is for my Dad and Brother...and any other musicians or music lovers who can appreciate a fantastic impromptu blues jam.

Wakin' Up is Hard To Do

This pretty much sums up my mornings...and yours?

Now Playing

I can't stop listening to this song/watching this video from Gotye featuring Kimbra. I'm stunned by the vocal talent of both singers, and the visual creativity of the stop-motion video. This will be on repeat all day.

Princess Leia Headphones

Dear Female Star Wars Nerds,
Merry Christmas!! Now you can music in style.





Orphan Polar Bear

I can't contain myself. This is so incredibly cute.



I want one. Too bad they look like this in a few years....oh wait, it's still adorable.


Charades

Charades is already a funny game. It's even funnier when funny people play it.



It takes skill to be funny through hand motions. Bravo.
p.s. I really tried to say funny at least 10 times.

Fountain of Youth

He doesn't age. Ever.

Happy Hump Day!

Here is a cute baby panda struggling to get up some stairs.

Last Minute Holiday Gift Idea

I know Hanukkah has already commenced, and Christmas is just around the corner, but who doesn't have a few last minute gifts to pick up? If you're still searching for the perfect present, look no further. I got you.

There is only one way to be the life of the party...disco ball hat. You're welcome.



Toe Shoes

Is it just me, or is this seriously creepy?


Adele is Back In Action!

After having to cancel a good number of tour dates to undergo throat surgery, Adele is back in action!

She recently tweeted this little message to fans, along with the below photo:
"Back on the grind. Hair and make up did. Merry Christmas! Axx"

So happy to have this years biggest voice happy and healthy!
