Afternoon Busking With Fast Heart Mart

I shot out of the office earlier this afternoon, hellbent on accomplishing some annoying errand amid the oppressive afternoon sunlight. Suddenly my spirits were lifted by unexpected Fast Heart Mart busking at Central and Fourth Street. Thanks, Fast Heart Mart!

Hi Olga

Dmitri approaches Olga. They talk fleetingly and exchange numbers. Now his voicemails are now taking over the internet in a douche revolution. He's bold, he's particular about what he likes, he's intelligent and he's a great catch. And somehow still single. So if you're psychologically normal, he will assume you are worth his time. Let the romance begin.

Hello Kitty

Some people are addicted to alcohol or cigarettes or chocolate. Some people find their outlet in excessively adorable white kittens. If this is you, you're in luck. Hello Kitty haunts the world; she graces us with her presence on every conceivable item. If you need a kaleidoscope or a portable body fat meter, she's got your back. This website shares a man's experience with too much "cute." Any other weird obsessions?

Being a person who can't get enough floating heads, naturally I think this is a good addition to our box. I'd like to vigorously shake the artist's hand for several beats too long.

Webgame Wednesday

Let the hand-drawn games by Johnny K begin.

Poiser—Try to balance the blocks up to the line above. As you progress in levels, the number of blocks you are required to use also increases, so place carefully. And, no, you don't know which size block is coming next.

Domino-P—Stack the dominos in the correct spaces and then knock them down. Careful though—the physic on this one are a hairtrigger for disaster.
